Rangana Herath has gone ahead of Roger Federer
Rangana Herath, despite struggling with a groin injury, came up with a terrific performance with the ball as he picked up six wickets to restrict Australia's third and final Test of the series three-day advantage. Graham Ford, Sri Lanka's coach, lavish in his praise of left-arm spinner, stressing that he is a very good example to the younger team with his courage.
Herath, who was hit in the groin by Josh Hazlewood delivery of the second day's play, retired hurt after a defiant stand with Dinesh Chandimal, who helped Sri Lanka to end with a total of 355 after being 26-5 at one stage.
Day three, when Steven Smith and Shaun Marsh led the Australian-run stand for the second wicket fight with 246, Herath, the bowling was hampered as a result of his injury, had sent down 22 overs, without much success. However, it will not affect his determination, as well as 38-year-old left-arm spinner insistence on full display, and he skillfully decorated with figures of 6 for 81 in 38.1 overs. Herath five wicket haul in 25 tests means that Australia, who were strong 267 for 1 at one stage, ended up losing their last nine wickets for only 112 runs to finish with a slender 24-run lead.
Speaking Herath performance, Ford, who addressed the press conference (August 15), said: "I can not say enough about Bloke, I was joking in the dressing room, saying that my all time sporting hero, he just went ahead of [Roger] Federer. he was injured, he was bowling on one leg, he just shows the guts and fight, because the old guy on the show, it just ignites the struggle within the younger group, the example he sets.
"It really makes the coach and the management group that makes their job a lot easier when you have a chap like that who go out there and show such courage batting, takes quicks, and then his batting an unpleasant incident, comes the ball and makes a brilliant diving stop off his bowling. If you have an older man throwing himself that the young people do not have any excuse. So to him, it is a brilliant, wonderful and not only his bowling skills he proved once again what she was bright and intelligent BOWLER, «Ford said.
The Test match was a hard fought one, which comes as a welcome change after two consecutive one-sided affairs, which saw Australia concede an unassailable lead of servers. Ford, who called it "one heck of a tough Test match," said Sri Lanka have a small advantage, given that they have to last a bowling pitch, which supports the spinners:
"It's been a heck of a tough Test match, which was really hard for three days to both sides, it was a test match cricket, probably his toughest: It has been a roller coaster ride for both teams, it stops and flowed, probably know the two teams the opportunity here or there have been missed, which can change the flow of the game, "Ford said." But both sides have much to control of the game right now, and there were a heck of a lot to play for the next two days. both sides have outstanding players who are able to change the flow of the game over the next two days. But from our perspective, we simply feel that bowling last that wicket will be a little advantage and I hope to create a little extra pressure and, hopefully, it ruled in our favor. "
Ford pleased with the way Sri Lanka came back after a strong partnership between Marsh and Smith. While crediting the second wicket pair of Australian performing well in tough conditions in Sri Lanka's head coach said that the batsmen from the rest of the team can find it tough in the second innings.
"It is very positive that we were able to make sure that not too many other batters spend much time there. I think that it is one of the window, if you can spend a little time, and then you start to get settled in your ways and you begin to work on ways to stay out of trouble and into accumulation. But it is quite difficult to obtain, and those who are concerned about their obviously would not get a second go. But two that did get the course done a fantastic job and credit to them, as it was in terms of batting skill », Ford said.
The coach was also pleased with the way the youth of Sri Lanka in the series, noting that some of their performances have taken him by surprise. "It was interesting to see (young performing well) and made a little surprising as well, as they have, but we still have a long, long way to go, and they did not disappoint us at times, but I think that with this attitude, and work ethic that they have received, there are some interesting signs for the future », - Ford - he said.

They score so many runs of five, six and seven, you risk them not to hit them, if you put them in a little higher. the way we've been going, putting them in a little higher, is definitely an option. It certainly worked for Joe Root made up three. It is high on the agenda, I would have thought, "he added,

There's a number of guys we had to score some runs a little under the spotlight earlier this season, when their names are mentioned that possibility to get into the team. Some of them have dropped off », - Bayliss said.
