I BATTED with JAYAWARDENE!

What a pleasure using my GoPro Hero 10 to film my village cricket match when you bat with a former international cricketer, Prasanna Jayawardene. We played Boston CC and set them 223. Boston chased it down hitting the winning runs in the final over.

Those who dont know, Prasanna Jayawardene(PJ) known as Sanagakkara's favorite wicket keeper in Sri Lanka . He was one of the best and the most underrated test player in SL. ♥

[@canyoucricket]

🔥🔥🔥

[@pasanfernando6217]

He was one of Sri Lanka's best keepers. He used to keep to Murali and herath and a useful batter.

[@virajdeorukhkar6847]

@@canyoucricket Is there an obvious skill gap between the rest of the guys and PJ? He's a classy player with multiple test tons so would be interesting to know if he just gives the 'aura' of being a top batsman?

[@canyoucricket]

Yes he's class 👌

Prasanna Jayawardhena is the best keeper produced by Sri Lanka. He has kept for Murali, Herath and Mendis when they were at the peek of their powers. Also he was a reliable battet who can bat with the tail.

[@11Khalid11]

He is absolutely great but the best is little Kalu (Romesh Kaluwitharane)

[@Mudhunters90]

prasanna and lanka de silva..are the best

[@Ghost-xd5hn]

The best has gotta be sanga

[@umeshliyanage5988]

The best, natural wicketkeeper SL ever produced is Mahesh Gunathilaka. Who is probably followed by Prasanna, Sanga and Fernandos, etc (1960s wicket-keepers). Romesh is really a batsman keeper and to be honest, wasn't among the best keepers.

[@archieatkins-sloan6905]

Dan Milgate is a good cricketer, remember him playing against my dad in the ECB premier league. And a very good innings from you! Great video

Fantastic atmosphere ....Prasanna Jayawardene was a most successful Wicket Keeper in Under 19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa 1998 , including Four Catches and 10 Stumping Dismissals, and the highest in the tournament. probably the best technically correct wicket keeper ever produce in Sri Lanka..

[@anushrajapaksha5098]

I cant think of anyone who read Muralis doosra better other than PJ ,even Sangakkara had trouble reading the doosra while keeping to him and hes regarded as the best Wicket Keeper to play for Sri Lanka.

[@rogergoulder3821]

Good solid knock - you seemed very comfortable in the middle third. Competent opposition. For me the highlight was watching Mr. Jawardene's wristy shots at the start of his innings, he seemed to have so much time to play. Thanks for posting.
