Jayawardene shows Lanka the way
April 26, 2007

Jayawardene once had a reputation for throwing away his wicket with loose shots and indeed at the World Cup four years ago he mustered just 21 runs from seven innings.
This time around he is the second top scorer in the tournament, behind Australia's Matthew Hayden, and has amassed 529 runs at an average of 66.12.
