Recently Jayawardene joined the 10000 ODI club,he is also not far behind in test matches.He also admit that it was his goal to complete this amazing double of 10000 runs in Test & ODI.

Further breakdown

ODI

Although Jayawardene is one of only nine batsmen to amass 10,000 runs in ODIs, his average is not on par with most others in the group. Sachin Tendulkar, who is far ahead of all batsmen in terms of runs and centuries, has an even distribution of centuries and a comparable average home and away. Ricky Ponting, the second-highest run-getter, has an excellent average of 44.13 in away games. Inzamam-ul-Haq's home and away numbers indicate a very large disparity. While he averages 56.80 at home, he has managed only 36.86 in away matches. His centuries-to-fifties ratio is also very low (10:83) as compared to most others in the group. Jayawardene, in contrast to the others, averages just over 35 in home matches and 32.64 in away matches. His strike rate at No.4 (76.34) is marginally better than the overall strike rate for that position in ODIs since 2000 (75.41).

* Away stats include matches played in neutral venues

Hopefully Laxman will join the test club in near future. Just under 1500 runs left now for him.

most of them with strike rate in 70s in ODI

How many runs has Laxman scored in the ODIS ? He is a pretty fine Test player so why wasnt he given enough chances in the Odis ? I dont think he bats any slower than Dravid so how did Dravid managed to play over 300 Odis but Laxman didnt ?

He was a decent ODI player but we always had better ODI options

Strike rate of 70 was not good enough for a 30 averaging middle /lower order batsman.

Thanks Guys , But 6 Hundreds in 80 Odd Matches is a Great Record .

Yea and all those were class knocks but you see even with those he averages 30 only. Failed a lot of times. Consistency was the issue.

4 of his 100s vs Australia, 1 vs Pak and other one vs Zim..
But ODI team was fully packed when he was around, also he is a poor fielder , so didn't have a great run in ODIs :razzaq

So SRT, Ponting, Kallis, Dravid, Lara, and now Jayawardene. Who's next?
