SYDNEY: Sri Lankan veteran Sanath Jayasuriya shrugged off jet-lag and a shoulder injury to flay Australia's attack and set up a comfortable 51-run victory in a one-day triangular series match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. Jayasuriya's inspirational 114 off 96 balls helped carry Sri Lanka to a formidable 309 for seven before dismissing a relatively inexperienced Australian line-up for just 258. The 36-year-old, who only arrived in Australia on Friday after recuperating from a shoulder injury which he suffered on tour in New Zealand, smacked four sixes and 10 boundaries during his 19th century in One-day Internationals. He and Kumar Sangakkara piled on 163 for the second wicket, with the first 100 coming off 80 balls. Australia's batsmen fared little better than their bowlers, apart from Michael Clarke who top-scored with 67. Hopes and Brad Haddin also offered useful contributions of 43 and 41 respectively. — AFP
