Welegedara and Prasad are the ones doing the carrying. Now  they've passed him on to Binura Fernando and Lahiru Gamage, who chair  him around half the perimeter of the ground before he asks to be set  down. Walks around the outfield now, leading the team, waving to the  crowd.   And now a bunch of junior cricketers from Nalanda College, for whom he  played all those years ago. They have their bats raised in a guard of  honour, and he walks through that lovely tunnel of bats. And is that  Percy behind him with the flag? Looks like him.    And now the cameras pan to his parents in the crowd. Mahinda Rajapakse is in the stadium as well.   And now all of the Pakistan cricketers give him a hug, one by one. Waqar Younis has a word in his ear and pats him on the back.   And now he goes up into one of the boxes, where Rajapakse embraces him. Sanath Jayasuriya's standing by his side as well.   10.55am And Sri Lanka have finished the job in just under an  hour. It was always going to be difficult for Pakistan, and though  Sarfraz and Wahab looked pretty comfortable out there, the target was a  little too far away, and once Sarfraz was out with so many runs still to  get, there was only going to be one winner</blockquote>
