Arguably Sri Lanka's greatest ever fast bowler, Chaminda Vaas played the ideal foil to spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan and reaped success despite minimal help offered to the fast bowlers on sub-continent pitches.

Vaas took 355 wickets in 111 Test matches with his finest moment coming against West Indies when he took 26 wickets in a 3-Test series win at home.

What Vaas lacked in pace, he made up for it with his accurate bowling and was even more prolific in the 50-over format where he holds the record for the best ever figure in an ODI which came against Zimbabwe, picking up 8 wickets while conceding just 19 runs.

Vaas' Test debut came against Pakistan in 1994 and his final match was also against the same team in 2009.
