Former Sri Lanka Cricket captain Mahela Jayawardena says cricket was a uniting factor in Sri Lanka, including among Tamil rebels, as it recovered from the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami which killed more than 35,000 in the country and injured over 20,000 others. Jayawardene also discussed the emotion of captaining the Sri Lankan side against England Cricket in the first test at the rebuilt Galle cricket ground - which had been devastated by the tsunami - in December 2007. This clip is from 5 live Sports special documentary looking at how cricket helped Sri Lanka recover from the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, broadcast at 9pm on Tuesday 23 December 2014.
