Arthur glorifies Dhananjaya and \u2018Brian Lara\u2019 like Embuldeniya<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>– by Sunil Thenabadu (sports editor \u2013 eLanka)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Arthur<\/p>\n

\"Sunil-Thenabadu\"Mickey Arthur was quite emotive and touchy after his final game as Head Coach of Sri Lanka on Friday in Galle winning comprehensively the test and series..\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His was the sort of jovial parting that few Sri Lanka coaches had not received. The team won the match by 164 runs, and the series 2-0. In the first innings, West Indies had been 24 runs behind Sri Lanka\u2019s total with only three wickets down, when Ramesh Mendis inflicted himself on the game, and triggered a collapse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe game was itself was having fluctuating after a rock-solid start the Sri Lanka batsmen\u00a0 collapsed dramatically to be all out for a meagre 203. After day one I thought we were in prime position (Sri Lanka had been 113 for 1),\u201d Arthur said. \u201cAnd then they knocked us over the next day. And then, they themselves had a good partnership. We did know that wickets fall in clumps here. It was tough to start. Once you got in, it became a lot easier to bat. Ramesh Mendis\u2019 spell in the first innings brought us back into the game. A lead of 49 was not insurmountable.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka also began their second innings batting poorly with the skipper Dimuth and one drop Oshada been foolishly run out then the third wicket fell with a lead of only 24 when de Silva came to the crease. He helped Sri Lanka recover with a 78-run partnership with Pathum Nissanka, putting\u00a0 on 51 runs alongside Mendis, and then really changed the game with the 124-run tenth wicket stand he succeeded with Lasith Embuldeniya, who hit 39.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDhananjaya de Silva\u2019s innings was simply outstanding,\u201d Arthur said. \u201cOn a pitch like this, the ease with which he played was phenomenal. It just showed how artistic he is as he had recued the team several times in dander. That, for me, was the defining moment. I knew that once we got a lead of 250, our spinners would do the job for us. So that innings of Dhananjaya de Silva\u2019s was supreme. He couldn\u2019t have played it without Lasith \u2018Brian Lara\u2019 Embuldeniya at the other end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of pressure of match situation, and in terms of pitch condition, the innings Dhananjaya played here, it was one of the better innings I\u2019ve seen. It was remarkable. That\u2019s testimony to the amount of work he\u2019s put in. And it\u2019s testimony to his talent and what a wonderful player he is.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mendis was the Player of the Series in the first full series he has played for the Test side, taking 17 wickets across\u00a0 two matches, in addition to his role with the bat was commendable. Although at the lower levels, Mendis has been believed of as a batting allrounder, it is with the ball that he has proclaimed himself at the top level. He has 26 wickets now at an average of 21.53, after eight bowling innings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing Mendis does do is he spins the ball really big,\u201d Arthur said. \u201cWe\u2019ve just had to work on him being really consistent with his lines and with his lengths \u2013 the attacking lines that he\u2019s worked on. I was just sitting next to [batting coach] Grant Flower out there and we were watching the guys out in the field. And I was saying, which guys have really made an impression on you? For both of us it was Ramesh Mendis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s toured with us almost since when I started two years ago. He didn\u2019t play many games at the start, but every tour, he\u2019s the guy that\u2019s training the hardest. He wanted more and more throw-downs. He always wanted to bowl. He\u2019s worked hard at his fielding. And I just think he\u2019s getting his just rewards now. I couldn\u2019t be happier for him. He\u2019s an attacking cricketer, and he\u2019s going to be an asset for Sri Lanka.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arthur has been with the Sri Lanka team for two years now, and given the travel restrictions to Australia, has spent almost that whole time either in Sri Lanka, or with the team as they travelled. With many players going straight into a Lanka Premier League bio-bubble on Saturday, the series-winning celebration on Friday night is Arthur\u2019s last occasion to devote time with several of the players he has coached in that time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to get really emotional tonight, when we eventually say farewell, because the characters who are in that dressing room are remarkable. They\u2019re really a wonderful bunch of players and bunch of people.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
