Jayasuriya Back in destructive formOne-day internationals Sri Lanka by Spurs fella (U7720293) 21 March 2007 It was an unimaginable innings from Sri Lanka's explosive Jayasuriya who smashed a 109 in a mere 87 balls which compromised 7 maximums and 7 fours. The left hander however had to leave early due to a hamstring injury and when he returned in the 48th over, his running between the wickets was like a rewinding back to 1992 seeing him as a young teenager. A huge six just inside the ropes confirmed his century and another low flyer confirmed that he was still at his destructive status. Unfortunately for Bangladesh his wicket came too late when he tried to hit it behind off Razzak and the damage was already done. However though if he had stuck around then Sri Lanka would have made just about 335, although 318 was more than enough. I felt though that he wanted to leave and that could be understood since his injury looked quite bad. Nice batting Master blaster, keep it up and Sri Lanka can extend their chance in the world cup!

djprankster1 (U7868357) posted Mar 22, 2007 Good article.... Ya i too think that we'll meet NZ in the finals. It'll be, SA, Aus, SL, NZ in the semis.. Our batting line up seems very strong and glad to see they're on top form... India will be hammered tomorrow because i don't think they can bat against our bowlers like vaas, destructive malinga, murali etc.. Good luck SL...
