		Chaminda Vaas may have achieved his best bowling figures in his Test career against the West Indies at the SSC grounds on Monday in what would be ranked as his greatest bowling performance, but coach Dav Whatmore thinks otherwise.
		A few years ago Chaminda wasn't as focussed from time to time at training, but clearly you can see that everytime we do have a session, that there is always something that he needs to achieve.
		That Vaas had to wait another 50 Tests to record his second match bag of ten or more wickets in a Test can be put down to several factors.
