http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 bowlers – Cricket News Update
Sri Lanka’s new-ball bowler, Nuwan Kulasekara, has admitted that the New Zealand fast bowlers have bowled brilliantly in the two-match Test series and expressed that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TG-Southee-c2659 and company have used their heights to good effect.
Over the last couple of years, the Black Caps have struggled to deliver the goods at the highest stage of the game. They have already been whitewashed in two Test series this year at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 respectively.
Having lost the first Test of the series against the Islanders at Galle, the Kiwis have done exceedingly well in the Colombo Test and were in a winning position at stumps on day four of the encounter.
New Zealand’s fast bowlers have played a significant role in helping their team dominate the proceedings at the P Sara Oval, with Southee being the pick of the bowlers. He grabbed five wickets in the first innings of the match and has already picked up two
in the second; whereas, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trent-Boult-c2708 has also supported him quite nicely.
Kulasekara, who is among the most experienced Sri Lankan bowlers now, believes that the visitors have taken full advantage of their heights. The medium-fast bowler was all praise for the disciplinary showing of the Kiwi pacers.
“They have the height and that's one reason they are able to get good bounce,” Kulasekara said. “They swung the ball well and they have bowled very good lines and lengths as well. Most of the dismissals went to their fast bowlers and they are getting the
rewards for bowling good channels and bowling fast.”
At the close of play on day 4, the hosts were in trouble, having lost their four premier batsmen for merely 47 runs on the board, needing another 316 runs to win the match.
While talking about the home team’ bowling line-up, Kulasekara expressed that Sri Lanka’s main weapon in the longer format of the game is the left-arm spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HMRKB-Herath-c1559; whereas, the seamers are assigned to assist him.
“For our seam bowlers it is different, because Rangana is our strike weapon. Our job is to support him,” he added.
