Their know -how can be vital to the performance of fast bowlers ‘ on tour , especially since only one attachment rotates preceding tests .

Vaas suggested that the attack would not stray away from that model in England.
“We’ve been working on things like accuracy, good line and length. The results are there for all to see and we have to keep improving. Suranga and Shaminda both bowl at 135 (kph) more . Need bowl at the constant rate and its variation will help . ”
Accuracy had allied with the resistance in the United Arab Emirates, where both Eranga Lakmal and deliver more than 130 overs each on three back- to-back Tests against Pakistan. The side made plans for some of cricket wear , but when Sri Lanka won a test in Dubai largely on the back of their quicks , was evidence of the strategy could lead to a resurgence of fast bowling in the national team .
” I always tell them to be patient. Bowl good balls need to take wickets. Bowling line When you keep the windows come. Gotta put the batsmen under pressure. During the series of Pakistan in the UAE many people didn ‘ t gives us many possibilities. But our seamers did the simple things well and enjoyed some success . ”
