Kumar Sangakarra (Sri Lanka, captain)

Fastest to 8000 Test runs (152 innings). Ahead of SRT (154), Sobers (157) and Dravid (158). Too many flat subcontinental pitches.

the curator blamed it on weak bowling attacks!

From your link: he said "Why do crowds pay and come? To see cricket. If you want it to finish in three days, I can fix the pitch for three days. That's not cricket."

I'd rather have a Test finishing in three days than one with no chance of finishing in eight...

Indeed!
