There are no fears out there. There is nothing we cannot handle. It is just how we prepare ourselves mentaly and physically..

There is so much uncertainty in cricket. One day you can get a hundred, the next day you can be dismissed for a zero. It makes you become practical about things. Teaches you to accept both success and failure. I think I have learnt a lot about life from cricket.

People are already worrying about the ball moving around and all that jazz.

I was feeling pretty good out there in the middle when I went in, but it was one of those things - sometimes you get a really good ball. If it gets you out you just have to forget about it and make sure you do the hard work out there next time you get in.

It is nice that we finished the game today. At the end we finished the series with a convincing victory against Bangladesh. We came here without some key players but I must say our young players showed a lot of characters in the series which will help Sri Lanka cricket in the future.

The game has evolved over the years, and I don't think we have as a country. In other countries they have, and they adjust much quicker than our boys.

We should not play like Australia or India or England - we should play like Sri Lanka.

I am not happy at all. Our star batsmen failed to play big innings.

Honestly I did not think in the morning that the pitch would play that bad. When we started playing, we found it difficult. The ball was doing a lot, stopping and all that.

Chaminda (Vaas) is going to be very important for the England tour (in May) and we don't want to take any risks with him so he'll only play if he's 100 percent fit for the match.
