Sanath Jayasuriya unravels the secret to Sri Lanka’s upward surge. Improved Lankans take one day series against New Zealand. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sanath Jayasuriya’s CV as an accomplished coach has risen to new heights as Sri Lanka completed another series victory over New Zealand in the three-match one-dayers in Pallekelle.  The former Sr Lanka dasher,  who showed scant respect for the best bowlers in the world during his reign as opener in all formats, is now instilling that fearless determination to his charges and reaping a dramatic turnaround to Sri Lanka cricket.  Jayasuriya has admittedly learned from previous experience as Chief selector, that mental approach outside skill and favour has a correlation to achieving desired outcomes.  His previous run has also altered his style and approach to the job at hand and the new direction he projects, is delivering the surge in Sri Lanka’s upward ...

New Zealand compound Sri Lanka woes – Zealand announced themselves as a serious challenger to win the T20 World Cup – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.   Glen Phillips thrived on  butterfingered Sri Lanka to pull New Zealand out of early strife, and then New Zealand’s bowlers ripped the heart out of Sri Lanka’s batting to give the Kiwis an easy 65 run win in Sydney.  The burly Middle order batsmen sprayed the Sri Lanka attack with consummate ease riding his luck on atrocious fielding to post 104 off 64 balls with 4 sixers and 10 fours to pull the New Zealanders to relative safety after an early collapse, to a defendable 167.
