Hi there! Welcome to Episode 305 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. 17 years. 118 Tests. 8,214 runs. 16 centuries. 45 half-centuries. 33 wickets. The numbers speak volumes, but they only tell part of the story. In this special episode, we pay tribute to one of Sri Lanka's finest cricketers — Angelo Mathews — as he calls time on an illustrious Test career.The 37-year-old bows out as the third-highest run-scorer in Sri Lanka's Test history, trailing only legends Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. A cornerstone of the team for over a decade, Mathews combined class, grit, and composure to become a mainstay in the side — whether with the bat, the ball, or his quiet leadership.Joining us is cricket analyst and commentator Ricky Simms as we reflect on Mathews' journey in whites: from his early promise to his most iconic innings, from leading Sri Lanka through transition to battling injuries and criticism with unshakable resilience.We revisit match-saving knocks, understated all-round performances, and the calm determination that defined him. Where does Mathews rank among the greats? What legacy does he leave behind? And how will Sri Lankan fans — and cricket lovers around the world — remember him?Tune in for a heartfelt conversation celebrating a true servant of Sri Lankan cricket.Thank you so much for tuning in to today's episode and for your incredible support.
