Last year at SL S Nafees made the only 50 against SL. So Murali and co. studied his tapes and devised a plan implemented it to perfection. 2nd Test both innings out similar fashion.
This is something Bd can learn from the SL's. Create plans while facing others and practice it, and implement it game time. SL team is a veteran team. So naturally they implement their strategy better. Practice makes a man perfect.
Test batsmen (except Afridi and likes) who go on to score 100+ have concentration honed onto the field and take one ball at a time. Not an over, not a session. One ball at a time. Ash, N Iqbal, JO, Bashar, pilot, Rafique all did it. Now they have to repeat it. So what can Tharanga and jay teach us? Something they already know? This could be a reminder at best to those mentioned. But for Mushifq, S Nafees this could be an example.
