Even Murali would have struggled at SSC: Bayliss
Only 13 wickets have fallen in four days of the second cricket Test
but Sri Lanka coach Trevor Bayliss feels even Muttiah Muralitharan
would have struggled to take wickets on the placid SSC track. More than
1200 runs have been scored in a batsmen- dominated Test match, which is
now heading for a draw.
On being asked if Muralithran’s presence would have made any difference
in the equation, the Lankan coach said, “It is bit hard to judge from
the wicket point of view on the performance in this match. Even Murali
would have struggled to take wickets.”
The legenadary off-spinner bid adieu to Test cricket after the first
Test at Galle. Bayliss was satisfied with the performance of the spin
duo of Ajantha Mendis and Suraj Randiv.
“On a flat wicket we have very two young bowlers who have bowled
extremely well. Good performance by Sri Lankan spinners in the match,”
he said.
Bayliss said the picture of match could have been different had Prasana
Jayawardene not dropped Tendulkar early in his innings but also backed
the stumper.
