I've been on two other cricket forums, and this is how Sangakkara discussions always go.
Sangas has 6 centuries outside of Asia only, 1 vs Australia, 1 vs England, 2 vs NZ, 1 vs South Africa and 1 vs a super minnow Zimbabwe team. The Australia game had one decent bowler, the aging Brett Lee. The SA and England games had stronger bowling attacks, with Sangas scoring at a strike rate of 40 to 50.
Sangas greatest innings are probably in ODI actually. He has about 3 ODI innings where he cuts loose like a madman against big bowling.

I am of the opinion that batters need to posses a certain set of skills to be able to perform against the fast bowlers. Like, they need to have a cool temperament and should not get carried away when the bowler tries to intimidate him. They should also have a well-developed front foot and back foot game. They should be apt at playing shots with a straight bat and have good front foot movement when the ball is swinging.

Most importantly is keeping Eyes on the ball :
knowing when to leave.
when to shoulder arms.
when to play on the back foot
when to flash outside off .
