Ford reacts to England v Sri Lanka day four

Monday, June 13 2016 by SNTV
  • Reaction after England set Sri Lanka a target of 362 to win on Sunday (12th June) on day four of the Test Match at Lords. Sri Lanka are 32 without loss in reply.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme Ford, Sri Lanka Head Coach

    "I guess it's something the ICC will have to look at it, it seems strange that with the technology that is available that you can still get a line call wrong. The line doesn't move, and surely we can get to the point where that problem is taken out of cricket."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme Ford, Sri Lanka Head Coach

    (On flying the Sri Lankan flag from the dressing room)

    "That was really - at that stage - the boys were really fighting hard out there and showing a lot of character but a few things hadn't gone their way and it was just to show our support from the dressing room, try to boost their morale and to let them know we were supporting them. That was the feeling from the lads in the dressing room to support our boys only to find out that that is not the done thing so we had to take it down."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme Ford, Sri Lanka Head Coach

    "We want to try and win the game, that is why we are here. To win a game at Lords is something special, a wonderful achievement and huge growth in the group if we were to do it. The boys are going to try really hard, it was great that we got through the tricky session tonight and hopefully the weather will be good tomorrow and good batting conditions and we can get a good partnership and then we have got the ball strikers to get busy and reach the target."
