Sri Lanka considering three spinners for Aussie clash

March 4, 2011 02:17 pm

We are considering using three spinners in our match against Australia, said Kumar Sangakkara the captain of the Sri Lanka cricket team. Sri Lanka is scheduled to face the defending champions tomorrow at R. Premadasa stadium.

We have a balanced side with both spin and pace bowlers but the Australian’s strength is their pace attack, the Lankan skipper said during a press briefing held at the Premadasa Stadium complex today (March 04).

When queried by media personnel regarding the importance of winning the toss Sangakkara said that “winning the toss will be an important factor but not a decisive factor in winning the match”.

He further added that the focus is to win the match and not the toss. Sri Lanka’s Group A match against Australia will be crucial for the team’s progress to the knockout stages.
