Sri Lanka’s victory in 3rd Test a warranty for Stuart Law’s confirmation
Ahead of the 3rd and final Test game between Sri Lanka and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Cricket
(SLC). The match is scheduled to be played tomorrow, June 16.
Law has been working as an interim coach with the Lions for last two months. He took the reins from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trevor-Harley-Bayliss-c94335 in April, especially for the current series.
Before swearing in as an interim head coach, Law had worked as an assistant of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Afzaal-c94676 for almost two years.
The ongoing Test series is set to determine Law’s future role with the SLC. As Sri Lanka has lost the 1st Test and let the 2nd draw, the final game is going to be highly significant for them.
Though Law and the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 are confident to win but cricket experts paint a different picture. The squad for the match contain two big loopholes i.e., absence of ace bowling talent and unavailability of the newly appointed skipper and top-order batsman, Tillakaratne
Dilshan.
As it is evident from the last two games, Sri Lanka has suffered a lot due to not having http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 in their bowling line-up----the both have got retired from Test cricket.
Adding insult to injury, Dilshan has rendered unfit for the final clash after breaking his thumb.
In this situation, the Lankans need extra-ordinary struggle and effort to keep their head high in the game.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779, the former skipper, is tasked with leading the side.
Despite the fact that the side is lacking a lot, Law is hopeful of convincing victory over the mighty English who have recalled their top pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705, in order to contain the Lankan batsmen.
Law, the 42-year-old former Australian opener, has handsome experience of coaching and he has worked hard on the players to prepare them for the series.
Before getting retired from international cricket, Law had played 1 Test and 54 ODIs. He had glaring records in the domestic cricket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 as he played 367 First-Class, 392 List A and 51 T20 games.
