KANDY, Sri Lanka, July 25 - Sri Lanka spinner
Muttiah Muralitharan snared eight wickets to send West Indies
tumbling to a massive 240 run second test defeat and a 2-0
series whitewash on Monday.
Muralitharan proved too tough a proposition for the
inexperienced West Indies batting line-up on a spinning pitch
and ended with figures of eight for 46.
The 33-year-old off spinner finally recovered from a severe
flu bug that had hampered his bowling in the first innings,
reeling off 16.2 overs during an unchanged spell as the visitors
were bowled out in just 41.2 overs.
Muralitharan, playing in his hometown in Sri Lanka's central
highlands, finished with match figures of 10-83, extending his
career tally to 549 wickets in 93 tests.
