Top 10 active batsmen with most runs in Test cricket

#9 Angelo Matthews - Sri Lanka

Angelo Matthews lord's century

Angelo Matthews has gone from strength to strength from batting in lower middle order under the tutelage of Sri-Lankan batting greats Sangakkara and Jayawardene to becoming the lynchpin in batting in the Lankan middle order. He has had a pretty eventful captaincy career that has made his stocks rise as an all-round cricketer and made him an astute captain.

The Sri Lankan cricket off-late has been having a torrid time due to an unfortunate and unusually long transition period. This has led them to lose matches against Bangladesh and Afghanistan and surrender against quality sides like India and South Africa in the recent past. So it will be a responsibility for guys like Matthews to step up in these tough times for Sri Lanka.
