.....
The tributes have been lavish for Jayasuriya. Australian spin legend
Shane Warne named him as one of the best 20 players he has played
against or with. But the biggest tribute probably came from Sachin
Tendulkar, a contemporary of Jayasuriya, who captained India, when
Jayasuriya was breaking all sorts of records. Tendulkar's comments
were, "I haven't seen Bradman, but I have seen Jayasuriya." This was
in the year 1997, when Jayasuriya hit a career best 340 and 199 in
successive innings. ......

LOL. Shewannapierceherear was a good player. I admired him more for
his determination more than anything else. He was limited in the class
and skill department, a bit of a flat track bully but the skills he
did have he used to his maximum gain. If you bowled short or full to
him on a deck that was not giving you any assistance, rest assured,
you were going to go for plenty.
