Sangakkara on how growing up in Kandy shaped his cricket style | Atherton Meets Sangakkara | Part 1 

We agree! There's two more parts of this interview to come!

But Atherton doesn’t deserve more than 10 minutes of Sanga’s time

@@skysportscricket please make it big, listening to Sanga and his wisdom is always fascinating.

Sanga's father played hockey for zahira college matale, not for Anthony's kandy. He's the fifth graduate of zahira college matale.

@@skysportscricket please let us know when those two parts are uploaded

Great Line...

yeah so true hit me so hard.

a trick : watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

@Madden Julio Yup, I have been watching on Flixzone} for years myself =)

@That SriLankanGuy Imran Khans a bad person though.

Really was. He was 199* in one game and he thought he made the double and started celebrating, but then realised it too late when 9th man on the other side got RUN OUT the next ball. The whole team was out and he was 199 not out. Could've matched Bradman's record so close

@@evilvoldemort123 And also once he was given a wrong decision by Rudy when he was in 192 And also in some occasions as well thanks to that he has the most 190+ scores(15) in the history even more than Bradman

@@chamalsr4470 Yea man and could've equaled Bradman's 12 200s He just needed 1 more and god knows why he retired so early he was just 3 50s away from equaling Tendulkar in ODIs and 1 200 away from Bradman in Tests when even greats like Tendulkar who played 100 more inns , who played till age weared him down has only 6 200s it's that tough of a challenge and this guy retired when he was the best form of his life with so many records hanging 🤷🏻‍♂️

I consider Mahela Jayawardene a better captain than him.

@@ajeebdastaaan396 No doubt Mahela is a masterminded captain but Sanga didn't have enough chances to prove his captaincy skills. Also Sanga's captaincy stats are better than Mahela.

@@naveenaponso4643 I have seen 2011 WC when sanga couldn't control the game when MS came in to bat , mahela imo would have been a little more proactive

@@KP-uj1iq by the time MS came to bat, the world cup was already won.

@@baronharkonnen7894 stupid ms won world cup

Soumil with fake accent?

@@Beekay_HQ Oh man common! He batted with a bat, not with his accent, fake or not.

Soumil the irony:

His accent is better than most the cricketers!

@@Beekay_HQ Fake accent ??? bruh he speaks sinhala and English both really well he was a lawyer ffs ,speaking good english even tho he's from an Asian country doesn't mean its a fake accent 😂 he's speaking skills are really good and he got huge props for his Colin cowdrey Lecture for the clever use of literature and his good speaking skills maybe one of the reasons why he became the First Non-British President of MCC(Lord's Cricket Club)

No he wasnt you idiot, his sister was

pofigin pofiginov He was u fckin idiot his sister was a multiple time champion (won the 'main' womens title consecutively for 5 years ) Sanga played Tennis prior to Cricket and Started Cricket in 16/17 and he was even the U16 Tennis champions thats an additional fact which wasn’t in this segment that’s why I said ‘For those who dont know’

pofigin pofiginov Plus he has even represented Sri Lanka at junior levels in Badminton and Tennis as well

@@user-to1kq6vq1o Dude seriously gets your facts straight before calling someone an idiot He has even played Swimming , Table Tennis but Represented Sri Lanka in badminton and tennis in junior levels....crazy guy imagine being able to represent the country in 3 Major Sports

Where did you find out that he was Sri Lankan under 16 tennis champion? There is no info on the internet confirming your false claim dumbass

Where are you from ?

Ahead of dravid, ponting and Bradman?

@@anubhav111196 Yes

one of the best , yes but not THE best , given viv richards exists

@@anubhav111196 he is way better than ponting and Dravid. He is better than Bradman too, except maybe test matches.

yeah..

we are on the same boat..

😂😅

😂😂😂

Yea in Tests was obv better , In ODIs Sachin was a bit better but if you look at the avgs in tough conditions like in Aus , Eng , Nz except SA Sangas avgs are much better

man, u need to visit Bangalore!

@@RandomGuy-co7rq I've seen the worst in the world in Dhaka :)

kandy is one hour away from my home town. it's actually not that bad.

Samitha Rathnayake is your hometown Katugastota or Peradeniya? 😂

@@mellowmonsoon278 Haha this is accurate!

LOL! I tried out for Jeopardy! Online test which is known to be difficult. I think I got like 20 or 25 right and felt ok knowing I won't make it. The unspoken passing cut off line is around 37. My mother is all: 25? That's not 50. Then I realized many people do get 50 and only undeniable way to enter the stage is to completely crush it with full grade. Mothers and father ultimately want our best, although it may seem to come off rubbing the wrong way at times. :)

No brown parent would consider bothering with taking up valuable study/revision time with practice sessions for cricket

Actually she was a 5 times (consecutive years) Senior National Champion - from 1993 onward.

You must be an Indian

@@truthseeker2095 maybe Sri Lankan. 1 Indian in the team, 1 Pakistani and 3 Sri Lankans. More Aussies andSouth Africans than Indians too so don't get how you guess Indian from their selection? Plus i'm English and this is close to what i'd have but would have had Hayden over Jayasuriya. This list is more of an indication of when they watched cricket, i'm guessing late 90's to mid 00's

@@truthseeker2095 he didn't pick MS Dhoni tho

Michael Blake how on earth is sachin flat track bully ahead of Lara???

@@mikea1989 I was born in the 2000s tho 😂 I picked Jayasuriya over Hayden cuz he's a destructive opnener with a higher strike rate decent avg (avg couldve improved if he played more in the powerplay era tho )and even if the wicket falls theres so many star bastmen to carry on I need that quick start(In his time he had the fastest 50,100,150) and the main other reason was he is a wicket taking bowler , 11th highest wicket taker in the world the thing is he takes big wickets tho like if you look at the 96 WC , him and aravinda got the wickets before Murali did Akram,Mcgrath,Murali,Warne can bowl 40 overs and Sanath and Kallis could bowl 5 overs each and if one of em is having a bad day the other could bowl 10

He would be my No.3 and Captain in my test team of last 20 years.

Bruh he's the greatest test batsman after Bradman

@Raj Tiwari This is not an exam.

Raj Tiwari Nah interesting enough theyve played the same no of matches Sanga has the better avg , runs , more 50s , 100s , 200s and Bradman’s the only guy who scored more 200s than Sanga by just 1 (Bradman 12 , Sanga 11 even greats like Sachin has just 6) and Sanga couldve broken the record once he was 192 given out by a wrong decision by Rudy and once when he was in 198, the non striker(last man) got run out but thanks to that he’s the one with most 190+ scores even more than Bradman and also the only World Record Lara has is the 400 in intl Tests But Sanga has a hella lot of world Records Such as the one who scored a 300 and a 100 in the same match and had the most consecutive 50s (7) in Tests and 4 consecutive 150+ in Tests and is the only guy with Sehwag to get a 300 by a 6 And also has the world records for the Fastest to 8000,9000,10000 ,11000, 12000 and has the best avg among the 10,000+ run getters (58) and as a pure batsman he’s avg is 60+
