But after the fall of two wickets, Jayasuriya settled in for the long haul, much to the chagrin of his rivals. Refusing to be drawn into the rash shots, Jayasuriya stuck around to make an unbeaten 102 off 120 balls, his 13th one-day international century. If this is the sort of form the Sri Lankan skipper is in, the bowlers in the Champions Trophy must already be looking wistfully at their departure tickets, for punishment looms large in their futures.
