After losing the first two Tests of the series, the Sri Lankan team chased down 219 runs at the Oval and won the third Test by eight wickets. Only Arjuna Ranatunga, Mahela Jayawardene and Angelo Matthews have won a Test match against England on English soil and so Dhananjaya has every right to be proud of this remarkable achievement. Dhananjaya de Silva told Michael Atherton after the match, “This is one of the happiest moments of my career. We had to face a lot of difficulties in the last two Test matches, but now coming back here and registering a win is great for me, my team and my country.”
