balance

"It's not about individuals in a game like this."If you look a the bigger picture, it's about the team."In my opinion, Sri Lanka have the right balance in their line-up and they manage their players well. They are also a very tough team at home.

"A spinner like Muttiah Muralitharan is a top-class performer while Chaminda Vaas is a clever customer."Dravid said Sri Lanka's bowling demanded respect.
We have faced many spinners in the past and have scored successfully against them," he added.

"Two bowlers (Muralitharan and Vaas) in the Sri Lankan team have more than 1000 Test wickets between them. You have to respect that."Dravid stressed that the team had prepared well and were ready for the challenge."So far so good, and we satisfied after a decent practice game (that ended on Sunday)," he added.
