A fine technician with an excellent temperament,
Jayawardene's exciting arrival in 1997 heralded the start of a new
era for Sri Lanka's middle order. He was the best batsman the island
had produced since Sanath Jayasuriya and his rich talent fuelled
towering expectations. Perhaps mindful of his first Test, when he
went out to bat against India at Colombo in 1997 with the scoreboard
reading 790 for 4, he soon developed an appetite for big scores. His
66 then was followed by a masterful 167 on a Galle minefield versus
New Zealand in his fourth match. A marathon 242 against India
followed in his seventh Test. However, after a prolific purple patch
from 2000 to early-2002, his form became more patchy. His declining
productivity in the one-day game was particularly alarming, although
that was partly explained by his shuffling up and down the order. He
suffered a run drought during the 2003 World Cup and was dropped
immediately after. However, he soon regained his confidence and
benefited from a stable batting position at No. 4 after the
retirement of Aravinda de Silva. A good Test series last year
against England was followed by a high-scoring run in 2004. He was
appointed vice-captain of the one-day side for the second time in
his career in 2003 and has been named by the selectors as the heir
to the captaincy after Marvan Atapattu's current tenure. Off the
field he has won great admiration for his huge personal contribution
to the HOPE cancer project
