What is the reason behind Sri Lankas relative failure to come to terms with Test cricket?
The problem is that we need a couple of more good bowlers. We need bowlers of international class to support the likes of Vaas and Murali. To win a Test you need to get 20 wickets. A One-Day International can be won by just containment and without bothering too much about taking wickets. It’s just a matter of time before we bridge the gap. Q: What is your attitude and approach to captaincy? A: I have all along been a great believer in giving 100 per cent, even while eating (laughs). If I take up a responsibility, I have to do full justice to it. There is no room for compromise in my book. After winning the World Cup, I had expressed a desire to step down from the captaincy. However, I was dissuaded from doing so by a lot of younger players in the side. So, here I am, continuing as captain. Q: What is the the kind of help players receive from the management? A: It’s important that there is mutual trust. The players must be free from the feeling that the noose is hanging over their head.
