Sadeera Samarawickrama- It was a good day in the field today, it was tough with the dew and the wet outfield, everyone has worked hard and it showed in the ground today. I do enjoy fielding wherever I play, I give 100% and it encourages me to do better. Not just me, everyone works on the fielding and the effect is showing. Credit must also go to the coach and the management. Everyone knows how good a fielder he was during his playing days (on Upul Chandana, the fielding coach), it's really good to work with him and he has helped us improve. He wants us to stop some 15-20 runs and convert at least one half-chance into a dismissal every game.
