Lankans ready to rule
WELUNCTOJ. Mar 5: The Srl Lankan cricket team head into Friday's first Test against New Zealand with every confidence
ol winning, despite their lack ot match practice on tour, reports Reuter.
The Kiwis are in disarray after captain Lee Germon was unceremoniously dumped following their one-day series
draw and 2-0 Test series loss against England.
The home side s new skipper is Stephen Fleming at 23 New Zealand's youngest-ever Test captain, and the one-day World Cup holders believe the change may unsettle their opponents.
"I think they will take a little time (to get used to it) and I hope
we can capitalise on the weaknesses they have." Sri Lanka captain Arguna Ranatunga told Reuters In a telephone interview today.
"We haven’t had any good cricket, only two days on tour, so that's not Ideal preparation for a Test match. But the boys are very keen, they are very confidence," he said.
Rain conspired to rob the tourists of a vital warm-up match against New Zealand A this week, and their only game here so far has been a two-day non-first class game against provincial side Northern Districts. which they drew.
But New Zealand's form this summer has hardly got the Sri Lankans quaking in their shoes.
The thrashing by England in the recent Test series exposed an inconsistent batting line-up and ordinary bowling attack.
In contrast Srl Lanka have batsmen of proven International class such as Aravinda de Silva. Hashan Tillekaratne. and old hand Ranatunga himself.
"1 think we have a very good all-round side, we have a very strong batting line-up and most of the top batsman have been getting a lot of runs back home." Ranatunga said. "And the bowling has also been very good."
In one brief outing on tour so far. Sri Lankan strike bowler Chaminda Vaas has already given the New Zealanders cause tor concern. He took six wickets for 22 runs against Northern Districts, including a hattrick.
The tourists also rate un-
known 18-year-old Nuwan Zoysa highly and are eager to get him into the international arena.
Ranatunga plucked the tall, lanky fast bowler from the obscurity of schoolboy cricket eight months ago.
"He has a lot of potential. He has to get into the big league as soon as possible to get used to it because he has a lot of talent." Ranatunga said, hinting that Nuwan was likely to play in the
first Test.
"It tooks like he has a very good chance of playing, but we haven’t picked the side so far." he said.
New Zealand have already named their 18-year-old off-spinner Daniel Vettori, after a promising Test debut against England.
