What did Sanga & Mahela do

To declare when a batsman is just 24 shy of a test hundred that shows rare character. But then Mahela was dismissed just 26 shy off a test double. Had he batted on, Samara' would’ve had his hundred. Worse, Sanga was dismissed 81 shy of a triple hundred. Had he batted on, almost everybody in the Lankan lineup would’ve been assured of some milestone. Mendis’ maiden test fifty, he was that close to it. It was one of those days, Lanka was dreaming four fingers.
