Batsmen fell to good balls: Sehwag

Indian vice-captain Virender Sehwag on Thursday said all the batsmen fell to good balls though the wicket was playing well.

“(Sachin) Tendulkar, Rahul (Dravid), Sourav (Ganguly) all fell to good balls so you cannot do anything about it. They (Sri Lanka) have quality bowlers,” Sehwag said after the first day’s play in which India lost its four batsmen within the space of 10 runs.

But the opener, who was unbeaten at 128 at close, said: “I think 350 to 400 runs should be a good total on this wicket.”

On his secret of clobbering Ajantha Mendis, Sehwag said he picked the mystery bowler rather early.
