The Takla Choker

[Gambit]

The Lankan baldy did what he usually does in finals while chasing - :fail: Baldy Jaya averages a pathetic 27 from 16 finals with just 3 50s. :desiwoman: This guy last made a 50 in a final won by SL 12 years ago! Not even fit to shine the shoes of KING Sachin Tendulkar who averages a majestic 50 against non minnows in finals while chasing and an astounding 80 in finals won. :hatsoff:

yaar' date=' ab patriot royega poora din :banghead:[/quote'] Nahi royega. He has been permanently pwned.

[Mr. Wicket]

Yes... but Jayasuriya doesn't only perform in games where he can play a supporting role if and only if his other openers are firing and he can ride their coattails.

They have a difference in average of 3 runs and the same 2 centuries. I don't know what is your point.

Don't know about choker, but you are a joker - what's with obsession with 1999?

[Mr. Wicket]

It's the cutoff after Tendulkar's most destructive year as an ODI batsman, thus excluding those numbers. :--D

[DomainK]

Indeed. If you consider the matches in which he did not fire, his average is pathetic.

[Ram]

Indeed. If you consider the matches in which he did not fire' date=' his average is pathetic.[/quote'] Well, if you consider the matches which he missed due to injury, his record is even more horrible. :omg:

[yoda]

Well' date=' if you consider the matches which he missed due to injury, his record is even more horrible. :omg:[/quote'] OTH, if you only include matches he didn't play, his average is indeterminate.
