against australia bat benefit bounce century days finished four good less losing saving scope special target tomorrow
There are still four days to go and you all know that Australia can bounce back from any stage. That's why our first target would be to bat at least two more sessions tomorrow and then we can think about saving the match. There is no scope to be over excited. It would have been satisfactory had we finished the day losing one less wicket. A century would have been good not only for me but also for the benefit of the team. Making a century against Australia is always special for any batsman.
bad consider innings pick poor quickly record remaining second target thinking wickets
No doubt, our first target would be to pick up the remaining wickets quickly but we are already thinking about the second innings. I think the second day was not too bad for us if you consider our first innings total. But all know that we have a very poor record in second innings.

The one-day victory erased bitter memories and I think our Test performance was not bad at all if you consider our previous series.
best call confident home impression miss players senior strong
We are confident to make something different on our home soil. We will try our best to make an impression in the first game. Sri Lanka may miss some senior players but they are still very strong opponents. One can't call them a second-string side.
