The Sri Lankan chase was doomed in just the second over, which
was bowled by Brett Lee. The blonde quick cracked Sanath
Jayasuriya's wrist with a short delivery and unfortunately for
the men from the Emerald Isles, their skipper could play no
further part in the game with X-rays revealing a fractured thumb.
"I was hit twice, the first one on the thumb and then I got hit
on the arm later in the same over," Jayasuriya, whose
participation in the rest of the tournament is in some doubt,
explained later. "It's painful but we will have to wait and see
about the next game."
