Dilshan shared his views at the post match interview, after his side lost the second Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, by nine wickets.
The helm of the Lankan team said, “Murali did a great job for us, now we have to carry on with youngsters.”
Sri Lankan team is finding it hard to stay atop ever since Muralitharan retired from International cricket. The Asian http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 haven’t been able to win a single Test match since July 2010, when Muralitharan played his last game against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The Men in Green were in complete control over the Lankans in Dubai and Dilshan believes most of the fault lies with his batting brigade, which failed to post a competitive total on the board.
Urging his batsmen to focus on their game, Dilshan said, “We have to put at least some runs on the board. We have to think about the batting, get runs in the first innings, we have to improve.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in their first innings, scaled 239 runs, on the other hand, Pakistan in their first outing were dismissed for 403 after a solid start provided by their top order.
Dilshan, who has been used as a backup bowler, was content with the performance exhibited by his bowlers and said, “Bowlers did a good job keeping them to 400 on a flat wicket. Every time we play four bowlers, I will have to bowl
10-15 overs as support.”
Dilshan’s Pakistani counterpart, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, was all praise for his side. Misbah accredited the win to Pakistani pacers who ripped through Sri Lanka’s batting. The 36-year-old was relieved to see that all of their hard work
has finally started to pay-off.
Paying tribute to his players, Misbah said, “Credit to the team, they have been playing good cricket for the last year and a half. Everyone is fulfilling responsibilities and that makes it an easy job for me. I am happy about that
captaincy record.”
