Really Sir Jayasuriya is a real master blaster my all time favorites evergreen batsman most powerful left hander in modern cricket lots of respect for this legendary cricketer for Sri Lanka🇱🇰 as well.Don't compare Sir Jayasuriya with any one he is only one world best attacking fearless batsman.. These master class Cricketer kumar Sangakara, Dilshan,Sir Jayasuriya Muralidharan will be remember forever in cricket..
I remember this match, SL was chasing 321 runs. Won by 8 wickets (with 75 balls remaining) If only we batted 1st, would have scored 500 runs... And SL won the 5-match series 5-0.
@@nationalisticguy4867 Well, I don't think you can state it with this much confidence. Jayasuriya did hit another 150 off 100ish balls soon after against Scotland where SL set the highest team score at that time(445??). I may misremembering details here but considering SL had already won the series 4-0 and nothing on the line rank wise , I'm not sure that Sanath would not have launched an attack in quite similar fashion against England had SL bat first that day. May be not 10 an over and certainly not 500 but 400-450.
greatest all rounder who take 13000+ odi runs and 300 wickets in international and a game changer ( he changed the operning batting style instead of survive
These are his ODI records. In ODIs, his batting average was just 32.36 & his bowling average was also below par (36.75). In contrast, in ODIs, Jacques Kallis made 11500+ runs at an amazing batting average of 44.86 & took 273 wickets at an average of 31.79. Also there is no comparison between the two all-rounders as far as real cricket, i.e. Test cricket, is concerned. Kallis is miles ahead of Jayasuriya there. In Tests, Kallis made 13,289 runs at an astonishing average of 55.37 along with taking 292 wickets. In contrast, Jayasuriya made 6,973 runs at a average of 40.07 & took just 98 wickets.
loduuu1 perhaps you have never known another important number called strike rate.. jayasuriya made huge impact whenever he scored to the whole game.. he scored whatever n whenever he scored at a very fast pace.. n that could possibly be the reason for his low average coz keeping a good strike rate also has it's flip side.. plus an opener against a mid order batsmen (for most part of their career).. not a fare comparison.. kallis is a great n jayasuriya slightly better than him.. jayasuriya played his part in an ODI world cup win.. has kallis made such impact..??? jayasuriya is an all and all limited overs cricketer.. so foolish comparisons never help.. only show how foolish the person making the comparison is..
CMAAbhinav Firstly, you rightly said that the "jayasuriya is an all and all limited overs cricketer". Then you talked about the "huge impact" he made "whenever he scored". So, lets check it out. ESPN wrote an article which listed all of the player's half-century or above scores' impact on team's winning chances in ODIs. Unsurprisingly, Sehwag topped the list for India & was 5th best in the world. Whenever Sehwag scores a fifty or above score, India are 72% more likely to win than when he does not. And two other openers - Astle (World rank: 1) & Saeed Anwar (World rank: 4) - had even better impact than Sehwag in ODIs! In case of Jayasuriya, the above percentage was just 41.6% & his rank was 18th in the world. So, there were/are better openers than Jayasuriya in ODIs. Here's the article: www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/620543.html PS: I gave Sehwag's example because, like Jayasuriya, he is an opener & when it comes to strike rate as an opener nobody can match him. He made 17,253 international runs with the following strike rates: Tests: 82.23; ODIs: 104.33; T20s: 145.38. Secondly, I responded to a commenter who called Jayasuriya as the "greatest all rounder" - which he isn't. Because even to count any cricketer as a good cricketer you have to check his performance at the real cricket, i.e. Test cricket. And Jayasuriya's performance at the Test level shows that he was good cricketer but nothing beyond that.
Sir Jayasuriya no words world best attacking batsman my all time favourite forever evergreen batsman no other cricketer is equal to these cricketer Jayasuriya sir, Sangakara, Jayawardane, Dilshan Muralidharan Chaminda Vaas these best cricketer will be remember for longer time. Lots of love for Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Don't compare these cricketer with anyone there is no replacement for these cricketer..they are only one..
An Aussie supporter, but jayasuriya is one of my favourite players to watch. He hits the ball with awesome power. Square cutting sixes is very hard to do, but this guy makes it look so easy!!. By far my favourite innings i have seen other than the 82 of ball half century against england in the world cup in 1996
he is one of the best and first player in the world who playing to the team not like others only playing for there centuries, if jaya get century team win the game, but there is another guy even he takes century team looses that's y we call jaya is a legend
Sanath Jayasuriya you are my favourite left hand batsman after Saeed Anwer. Sanath Jayasuriya you are a pioneer of the fast cricket.Love You from Pakistan.
It's either don't drop Jayasuriya or lose the match. Simple as that. Record highest first wicket partnership as well :O The commentators sound more tired than Jayasuriya btw :D :D Thrashing the Englishmen in their own backyard! This is just pure madness but typical Sanath Jayasuriya!! Sheer power from the guy who completely changed ODI batting. Oh how we miss this legend :(
Most importantly, in the midst of these performances Sri Lankan players never relied on arrogance or sledging on or off the field. Good lesson for those who are celebrated as the best in present cricketing world.
It's pretty impressive to watch The British being hammered by a man from their erstwhile colony. Yet another reason for 90s kids for watching, enjoying as well as discussing the game of cricket in the classrooms and grounds during the wee hours of the school days. 'Sanath Jayasuriya' , The legend. A lot respect to you sir from India.
We were very lucky to see the legends play cricket..not only sanath.all over the cricket nations..we saw sanath,aravinda,arjuna,murali,vaas,sanga,mahela,malinga in sri lanka tendulkar,shewag,dhoni,kohli(now),asarudeen(i personally hated him in my childhood),ganguli in india shane warne,gilchrist,macgrath,bret lee,waugh brothers,andy flower,grant flower,wasim akram..lot of legends
ohhh i was so lucky to watch this match this batting live on tv and by looking at jayasuriya's frustrated reaction when tharanga got out it just broke jayasuriya's concentration of making a hammering impact of record through this match
Jayasuriya is a gifted power hitter... This style is very particular batting style...no one can not copy due to uniqueness and combination of power and eye... When he stay first ten overs most probably sri lanka will win... He didn't chase the records other than team situation But records chased him.. Great Jayasuriya
I swear I had watched this innings this amazing historic innings & match & commentary 17 years ago live on TV & after watching the HL & hearing those praises from the Commentators i felt like Sanath was just hearing to those praises from Mark Nicolas & was just keeping on going on.
@1.04 "That's an outstanding cricket shot!" this shot and the flick on the legside (2.39) and the square cut six over third man and his pull shot - so many insane shots
this match very tharanga vs jayasuriya partnership highest opening partnership in world. jayasuriya is a powerfull hitter. he hit leg site , off site six very beautiful. he was 37 years old.
This man was a terror once, where ppl jus used to wait eagerly to bowl him out, he has made several bowlers cry, disturbed their rate, line, length a legend of the smashing bowl.
Sanath is an exceptional talent , one truly can be spoken as Master blaster. He does not a have a defense bone in his batting. Fearless hitting is the name of the game. He had inspired me during the formative years - ( I was doing Pediatrics residency and preparing for very tough examination in which there was no guarantee of success) I used to look at Sanath and thnk …look at this guy -from humble background , spins the ball, fields very athletically, and bats like a champions , bludgeons McGrath in Aussie conditions , and all this seemingly enjoying every moment of it ! Thank you Sanath for inspiring me to achieve success - got Board certified in my country and subsequently in USA too, but never really forgot the joy and happiness he had given to millions of fans in india and all over the world. Truly a legend, a self-made person, May God bless him !!
Commentary for a batsman " When England will Learn ?,you cant give width & Short of length bowling "This is incredible hitting " 5:49 correct powerful cricketing shots ❤
He never needed a modern bad or a modern batting pitches he did this in a era where whole world feared the new ball he is the man who changed the game he is the Legend
Jayasuriya of cricket is like Mike Tyson of boxing . Everybody is gangsta and big until they both walk in . Most fearsome ever . Changed the entire game of cricket alone .
Still watching this stuff in 2017 rather than watching Sri Lanka losing in champion trophy .Sri Lanka ever didn't produce an entertainer like Sanath in ODI cricket.
Brute strength and class - Jaysuriya is a totally different league than what is a clown show these days by lankan batsmen. Big fan of Jayasuriya from India
He is my school mate. I have seen how he played cricket in school games like this from his early days even. His sixes are still unbeaten I guess. He is from St. Servatius college Matara.
out standing and majic batting by sanath jayasuriya.152 from 99 balls.super batting.he played good shots in this match.england bowlers are struggaling to out jayasuriya
India was lucky that Jaysurya didnot play 2011 Wc. Because he was a left arm off break bowler, Dhoni would have not promoted himself ahead of Yuvraj Singh and could have created a big challenge for our team in winning the Final.
I doubt SL will ever produce a batsmen who will come even remotely close to this man's talent. Truly a blistering batsmen who just burned the bowlers to ash.
we shouldn't take for granted the talent of this man. Yes he didnt do much better in his last few matches but hey, do you have anybody in cricket who can come close to the talent of Sanath Jayasuriya. NO. He was, is and will be the best cricketer in the world !
as an indian fan i always wanted to get him out quickly against us but still wanted to see him bat...he changed the way ODI cricket was played
