This was against India, in a final as I remember. We were so many wickets down early, and Jayasuriya just went crazy.
Won the game after that knock.
Unfortunately I also don't recall much details of the game. I'll try to find a video in Youtube.
Was it the 125 off 114 balls he scored against India in the Asia Cup final in Karachi in 2008. We were in trouble at 66/4 when Sanath and Dishan who scored 56 put on 131 for the 5th wicket to take our total to 273. India were all out for 173 with Ajantha Mendis taking 6/13.
Yes this is it! Look at him, he was pumped too. Though highlights doesn't show it, when the wickets were falling at the other end, it was pretty intense. Unfortunately, all the talk was about Mendis after the game.
Good stuff. There was one miscue, I think, which went past mid-on. The fielder did not get to it, as I remember. But other than that, it was flawless.
