Sri Lanka Not Good Enough in Australia Jayawardene

Mahela Jayawardene finalized off his second stint as Sri Lanka leader in frustration on Weekend after a 3-0 sequence brush in Sydney and said the main point here was his group had just not performed well enough. 

After coming in Sydney assured they could lastly win a first analyze Down Under, Sri Lanka decreased to beat by five wickets in Modern australia following an innings and 201 embarrassment in Victoria and an 137-run opposite in Hobart. 

"I think Hobart was a excellent battle, challenging circumstances, I believed we installed in fairly well there," Jayawardene informed correspondents. "Melbourne, we never revealed any battle in that analyze go with which was fairly frustrating. 

"Here, I think we conducted really well, but it wasn't excellent enough. The Aussies performed some really excellent cricket, they did provide us with a few possibilities but we weren't excellent enough to take management and force forward. 

"When you are competitive at this stage, I think we need to be much better ready and display more personality to win analyze suits in these circumstances." 

The beat in Modern australia was particularly galling because Jayawardene lastly got the situation he desired, legendary wicket-taking rewriter Rangana Herath go-karting at an Australia group pursuing a success focus on on a switching wicket. 

"I think this would have the most ideal program, go-karting on it all day in Modern australia," he said. "If we had kept them near to our ranking in the first innings factors would have been different. But we let (them) get away from us, decreased a few grabs. 

"And even second innings we batted well, put some stress on the Aussies, maybe if we'd had another 60, 70 operates... but, we're not excellent enough to do that." 

Injuries pressured the Sri Lankans to blood vessels some young batsmen in Sydney and companies Dimuth Karunaratne, Lahiru Thirimanne and Dinesh Chandimal revealed they had the prospective to perform at the top stage. 

Jayawardene, one of a quartet of Sri Lankan hitting best now in their mid-thirties who will be heading off over the next few of decades, said they still had a lot of effort before them. 

"I think the more possibilities they have to perform in these circumstances their activity will enhance but skills alone will not bring them forward," he said. 

"It's much difficult. Considering procedures, you need to recognize your flaws, you need to know your activity better, you need to see what the resistance is doing and develop innings and bat for more time. 

"They all have skills and that's why they're here. Provided that they willing to understand and provides your very best, they will get big ratings and be the lengthy run of Sri Lankan cricket. 

"But they need to provide your very best, they need to realize what they need to do and where they need to strengthen up. It's not just specialized, it's psychological too." 

Another of the quartet of knowledgeable batsmen, Thilan Samaraweera, had a particularly inadequate sequence but Jayawardene was in no feelings to begin choosing out scapegoats. 

"Unfortunately he did have a bad sequence, but that happens. I think it's unjust to choose on personal gamers after a sequence beat like this and say it was their mistake," he said. 

"I think as a device, I don't think we performed excellent enough cricket here, we didn't perform to our prospective, we didn't force ourselves and we need to take liability for that as a group.
