Mahela Jayawardene desperate to win more and more matches for Sri Lanka – Cricket News
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Champions Trophy 2013 against Australia at the Oval and claims that he is desperate to win more and
more matches for his country.
The encounter against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 if they were to qualify for the semi-finals of the mega event. Jayawardene rose to the occasion in the all-important match and scored an unbeaten 84 off merely
81 balls with the help of 11 boundaries.
Due to the efforts of the right-handed batsman, the Lankans outclassed the Baggy Greens by 20 runs, with the former Sri Lankan captain being named as the Player of the Match.
Jayawardene was not in very good form during the initial stages of the tour and also had a poor sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The cricketer from Colombo revealed that he was very keen to score runs against Australia as his team badly needed them and said that loves to win matches for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
"You could see how desperate I was to score. So, I'll be desperate for every game to win, simple as that. It's not about trophies or whatever - it's just to win matches," said the former Sri Lankan skipper.
While expressing his opinion about the knockout stages of the last edition of the Champions Trophy, the great batsman claimed that his approach will not be any different. Jayawardene is optimistic about his team’s chances in the
competition.
He added, “So I'll have that same passion and same desperation to win games, doesn't matter if it's a semifinal or final or just a group game. As long as I have that attitude and the rest of the boys, we'll go a long way."
The islanders will take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 tomorrow in the second semi-final of the tournament at Cardiff. Taking into account the current form of the Indian team, the cricket pundits are rating them as favourites. However, the Men in Blue
would commit a blunder by underestimating http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AD-Mathews-c913 and company.
