We promised him we would play our best cricket, but we didn&#39;t,&rdquo; Mathews said at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The skipper also thanked 37-year-old Sangakkara for his services to the game over the last 15 years. &ldquo;On behalf of the team, we can&#39;t thank Sanga enough for his services over the last 15 years,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Lankan skipper praised Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and rued the fact that his teammates did not bat well enough on the second and third days to trouble the visitors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;The best days for batting were second and third, and we clearly didn&#39;t capitalise. After they took the lead, they batted really well and put us under a lot of pressure. The wicket was quite demanding, but we could have put on a better show on the last day. Having said that, India, especially Ashwin, bowled really well,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
