DTVHINDI“Players were too lazy” – Nasir Hussain on Sri Lanka’s poor performance in Manchester Test
Apart from this, Hussain believes that Sri Lankan players looked very sluggish on the third day of the first Test against England. He said that the visiting team will have to reconsider their performance in case of defeat. He said, “If Sri Lanka lose this Test, they will look back at the first hour on Friday and ask themselves whether they were fully prepared, because it was a complete contrast to the fight they showed over the first two days. Test cricket is like arm wrestling – you can’t drop your concentration at any level – and I felt they were quite lethargic in the morning. They were not ready for the match to start.

Actually, the weather in Sri Lanka is similar to the weather in England at this time. Spinners get a lot of help in England at the end of summer and batsmen can also play very important innings after getting set. Sri Lanka team has excellent spinners and experienced batsmen for the upcoming Test series. If Sri Lanka’s spinners get help here, then they can dominate England’s batsmen. This is the reason why Sri Lanka can prove to be very dangerous here.

Arvind further said- I am enjoying the way England is playing cricket at the moment. They are playing very aggressive cricket. Whether they are bowling or batting. England is really adopting a positive mindset and they are getting results for it. It is difficult to win in England, but it is definitely not impossible.
