With his batting and all-around abilities, Jayasuriya is, in my opinion, a sure choice for the opening position in Sri Lanka's all-time test xi. Who, then, ought to be his partner in Sri Lanka's all-time test xi?

No need to pick Jayasuriya when he couldn't play the swinging ball and Herath will already be in the team as a SLAer.

The best all conditions opener probably was Dilshan. He had a short career in opening. Sidat Wettamuni and Marvan Atapattu are quality. I would still use Jayasuriya and Dilshan. That would be a fearsome combination. Jayasuriya good in cutting, flicking and muscling it, while Dilshan is very good at finding gaps albeit not being a strong striker of the ball. Dilshan was very good against short bowling too, which sets him apart from other SL openers
