Cricketers across the spectrum, from the freakishly talented to the most working-class, claim he is the best captain they have played under. He has ruffled plenty of feathers as well, but his public interactions reveal a little of why he is such a highly rated leader.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px">"When I look back at my time with the Sri Lanka team, those memories are beautiful to me," he said. "We always played with a lot of joy, and a lot of good things happened to me personally, because I became a Sri Lanka cricketer. I am very lucky I got to have a job that was also my passion. I appreciate every moment I had. It's a privilege to be in the Sri Lanka dressing room."</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px">There will be days when Sri Lankan cricket will feel Jayawardene's absence. They may miss him if Sri Lanka crumble on one of the bone-dry pitches that were his specialty. Fans might want for a player whose innings they can happily watch for hours, on loop. Sangakkara might get bogged down, and yearn his old friend to reverse the pressure at the other end. Angelo Mathews will almost certainly miss his tactical advice on long, tough days in the field.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px">But Jayawardene is gone now, 149 Tests into his career, six catches short of the Test record, 0.16 below that vaunted average of 50. But at least his team can be happy they gave him this last occasion among the people whose days he had filled with joy, and who had given him joy in return.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Andrew Fidel Fernando is ESPNcricinfo's Sri Lanka correspondent. <a href="http://www.twitter.com/andrewffernando" target="_blank">@andrewffernando</a></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
