No. Nothing at all. Our guys haven't had any experience whatsoever in regards to that. |
The ability of moving the side around, changing batting orders, resting three of the most senior players today was one way of motivating the side because you are giving opportunities to other players. Hopefully, they will grab those opportunities with both hands and create a competitive environment within the squad. |
The momentum India get while playing at home is different, which makes it hard for visitors. |
The way he trains is an example for any cricketer and professional. The whole squad is happy for him. It is great for him and great for Sri Lankan cricket. |
There has to be a level of respect and understanding that they are doing their best and there is going to be human error. It's something that's only been highlighted because of the technology over the last few years. |
They'll certainly have to be aware of it fielding on the boundary. |
We do not want to risk Chaminda (Vaas) unless he is 100 percent fit. |
We don't need new law we have immigration laws we just need to get some backbone in congress and the white house and say this is it. |
We got enough competition within the squad to keep the intensity levels up, |
We have a fair idea how we would like to approach it but we are going with a little bit of uncertainty as to what is the perfect way of approaching the new regulations, |
We have been beaten two-nil in this Test series but a lot of positives have come out. We had not competed over five days which cost us, but we had India on the ropes in all three Tests, though the first one was rain-affected. We had not been thrashed. |
We have got a lot of cricket in the next 6-12 months and we want to maintain some positive momentum. This series is as important than any other series we have got in the future. It is important we play our strongest side because we have a lot of respect for Bangladesh. They are an emerging side and improving all the time. |
We won the three matches rather [more easily] than we expected. It is very hard for those new one-day rules to be really gauged properly. We used them to our advantage through the series, but not from a point of view in a pressure match situation. It was more so from the balance of the team giving players more opportunities. In a tighter match situation we will be in a better situation to judge the new rules and regulations. |
When you are allowed to have a super sub, it allows you to have a lot more depth depending on which way you go. There are a lot of options for the captain whether it be batting or bowling. We found that it wasn't effectively used in this series because we weren't in any sort of pressure situation where it could be tested. |
Whether it's confidence to execute their game in different conditions, or whether it's self confidence, only time will tell, but the players are very determined to turn things around. |
