Aravinda de Silva
Pinnaduwage Aravinda de Silva ((シンハラ語:පින්නදුවගේ අරවින්ද ද සිල්වා); born 17 October 1965) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer, who is widely considered as the finest batsmen produced by the country in his era.〔(Why Aravinda de Silva was the best batsman of all? ) by Nirgunan Tiruchelvam (The Island) Accessed 2015-10-28〕 He is also regarded as one of the most elegant batsman of his generation, and to date is the only player to make a hundred and take 3 or more wickets in a World cup final. He was the head of the national selection committee briefly before stepping down after the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Probe into selection policy and jeers at home as Sri Lanka lose Cricket World Cup final )〕
==Career==
De Silva had his initial education in Isipathana College, Colombo and then he joined D. S. Senanayake College, Colombo. He made his Test match debut in 1984 at Lord's against England.〔 During the early part of his career he was known as a dashing but inconsistent batsman – he was given the nickname "Mad Max" for his tendency to get out to rash shots. He later commented on his aggressive batting style: "That's my natural game – I don't want to change because I feel confident playing that way. If someone is capable of dominating the bowling, they should do it. It's the way I've been playing since I was a youngster."〔 But a successful season playing first-class cricket for the English county Kent in 1995 marked a turning point in his career. De Silva was instrumental in Sri Lanka's triumph in the 1996 Cricket World Cup where his unbeaten century and three wickets earned him the Man of the Match award in the final against Australia. His other notable achievements include scoring a century in each innings of a Test match on two separate occasions (only bettered by India's Sunil Gavaskar, Australia's Ricky Ponting and David Warner. who each performed this feat three times). One of these doubles was 138 and 105, both unbeaten, against Pakistan at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club in April 1997. This made him the first, and so far only, player to score two not out centuries in the same Test match. As he had scored 168 in the second innings of the previous Test, he posted three hundreds in eight days. He finished the year with 1220 runs at 76.25.
De Silva's eight centuries makes him the top century scorer against Pakistan, a bowling attack spearheaded by Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Abdul Qadir.〔 His highest test score of 267 was made at Basin Reserve in 1991 against New Zealand. He scored another double century in his final Test innings as well as picking up a wicket with his final delivery in Test cricket (against Bangladesh in 2002), thus retiring with a place in cricket's history secure – from all international cricket after the 2003 Cricket World Cup.
