See Ya

Umar says goodbye to Mahela. He sees red,  Jayawardene feels blue.

power and GRACE

Jayawardene and Raina illustrate an interesting point. It seems that raw power will get you 50 something in T20 but batting class seems to be required to make 100.

And yes, McCullum may be the exception that proves the rule.

Snap!

When the guy has just scored 200 runs it doesn't matter how you catch it, just make bloody sure you do.

Fully Extended

Mahela Jayawardene may have been at full stretch playing this shot but at 400 and something for 3 his team is not feeling a great deal of pressure against Pakistan.

Frustration

One of the benefits of being a professional sportsman is that you can take your frustrations out in physical activity. The rest of us just have to snarl at our fellow workers.

A Quick Start

In response to bad weather and poor pitch conditions Jayawardene and Sangakkara decide to practice for a late entry in the Sri Lankan Olympic sprint team. Their times were not recorded but they both reported to be in good form.
