# 5 – Angelo Mathews (bowled 8 times, 9.41%)
Angelo Mathews is the third Asian captain on this list, another technically correct batsman in the middle order who has the customary task of rescuing his side from holes they have dug themselves into. Like Misbah, Angelo Mathews is often unbeaten at the end of innings – tied with him at 17 not outs. Like the other names on this list, Angelo Mathews refuses to let ball past him if it is on line with stumps.
Mathews has 4140 runs from 102 innings at an average of 48.7, going out bowled only 8 times in this duration.
Like in all Test series in the last two years, Sri Lanka are currently looking towards their captain to raise some sort of a defence against an otherwise unstoppable Australian bowling attack.
