Interim coach Sanath Jayasuriya said Sri Lankan players will have to work on improving their 바카라cricket awareness바카라 in the wake of their collapse in the recently-concluded T20I series against India. (More Cricket News)
Sri Lanka were in good positions during the three-match rubber but they lost wickets in a heap to suffer a 0-3 defeat.
바카라I don't see a lack of commitment, but they have got to tackle pressure better. Their cricket awareness also needs sharpening. We are taking the responsibility; you can't go away from that,바카라 Jayasuriya was quoted as saying by 'ESPNCricinfo' as his side entered the three-match ODI series against India.
바카라As long as they realise that, and make sure that, we'll have to keep giving them the confidence and support,바카라 he added.
Jayasuriya said batsmen need not worry about hitting sixes constantly as large Sri Lankan grounds offer ample chances to score off through boundaries and twos.
바카라When you talk about power hitting, I don't think you need that much (in SL). If you hit enough fours and enough twos, you get the total that you need.
바카라The Sri Lankan grounds are a little bigger. There's no reason why you can't hit boundaries, or twos, or threes. If you can do that, you can get by without hitting so many sixes,바카라 he said.
The former Lankan captain said the players should be ready to accept criticism after a shoddy show such as theirs in the T20Is series.
바카라We have to take the criticism as well, as a coach, as a support staff, as a team. I had to go through this (phase) in my time as a cricketer, every cricketer has to go through this. When criticism comes, you have to take it,바카라 he said.
Jayasuriya backed newly-appointed captain Charith Asalanka to come good sooner rather than later.
바카라Charith Asalanka is one of our best players in this format, and we need to remember that. But there is some pressure when you get captaincy. You have got to give him a little time.
바카라There are ten more players in the side, and 16 in the squad. We all have to get together and give him confidence. At any moment, the captain could click. Asalanka is someone who works really hard, professional and communicates well,바카라 he added.
