Sanath at sixes peak
Pti, Auckland
Seasoned Sri Lankan campaigner Sanath Jayasuriya on Saturday established a world record for most career sixes during his superb half-century knock against New Zealand in their fourth one-day international cricket match on Saturday.The 37-year-old Jayasuriya sent five deliveries beyond the fence during his 44 ball 70 to take his tally to 222 sixes, overtaking Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi's figure of 217. Jayasuriya also helped the visitors level the five-match series two-all with the decider to be played at Hamilton on Tuesday. Another world record, which virtually went unnoticed was that six New Zealanders were dismissed leg before wicket in a one-dayer.
