No. Lankans can't handle our bowling better than Aussies.
Its the shortened match because of which Lankans could take those risks. They would have played differently if it was a 50 over match. Remember them playing against Aussies recently?
Did they play this way?
No.
And they wouldn't have, if they were playing India BUT instead of 21 overs it was 50 or 29 overs.
This is the difference, and the fact that their risks paid off. Including the pathetic shot Dilshan played against Sreesanth in his second spell, which just plopped on the rope, inches away from Ishant's stretching fingers. If that was caught, there wouldn't have been this 48 runs in 3 overs stuff going around.
So relax, and enjoy the upcoming contests.. :-)
