Colombo, Aug.18 (ANI): Australian left-arm fast bowler Doug Bollinger is hoping he and his one-day team-mates can set the tone for their Test counterparts by winning the one-day series against Sri Lanka.
Bollinger has been on fire in the first three matches of the five-game one-day series, even managing a four-wicket haul in Tuesday's 78-run defeat in Hambantota.hat loss means Australia hold a 2-1 lead going into the final two one-day matches in Colombo.
According to the Age, Bollinger has called on his team-mates to give Australia a big boost by winning the series ahead of the three Tests against the Sri Lankans beginning on August 31.
"We've got a few players still to come in for the Test team obviously but they get a feed off us winning in the one-dayers and I'm sure they can take that confidence into the Test series over here, definitely," said Bollinger, who will not take part in the Tests after missing a spot in Australia's 15-man squad. They're (Sri Lanka) not going to go down lying down, they're a strong outfit and you never know what can happen," he was quoted, as saying.
"But all of our games are in the right spot at the moment. We're all feeling pretty confident and that's what we need to be," he added. (ANI)
