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.

Then Chris Woakes sent Nishan Madushka (4) and Angelo Mathews to the pavilion on a duck in the seventh over. The partnership between Kusal Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal seemed to be flourishing again. But then in the 16th over, Mark Wood gave a big blow to the opponents by dismissing Kusal Mendis for 24 runs. After this, Dinesh Chandimal (17), Kamindu Mendis (12) and Prabhat Jayasuriya (10) also returned to the pavilion cheaply. Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva held the innings together from one end and scored 74 runs in 84 balls with the help of 8 fours in the first innings. He lost his wicket to Shoaib Bashir in the 51st over.

Butler has informed about his exit from the tournament through social media today, 3 August, Saturday. After being ruled out of The Hundred 2024, Jos Buttler said through a story from his official Instagram account – Sad to be out of The Hundred this year. Best of luck to Manchester Originals for the remainder of the tournament. Working hard to be 100 percent fit as soon as possible.
