Both of them scored centuries, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">There were also difficult chances missed at short-leg and a run-out opportunity of Rahul which went begging.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;They were a couple of tough chances but you&#39;ve still got to take those on wickets where it&#39;s going to deteriorate day four, day five. We needed to speed up the game today,&quot; Lehman said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;So (it was) a little bit disappointing, we need to take those chances and that&#39;s now two Test matches in a row, But there&#39;s still a lot of time in this game.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Lehmann has also emphasised the importance of latching onto the chances and working hard on the field to build up enough confidence to overcome the fear of dropping catches.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;You just keep training hard, they&#39;ve got sore hands at the moment. It&#39;s just a confidence thing I&#39;m sure, it&#39;s certainly not a skill level from their point of view or concentration or any of those sorts of issues, it&#39;s just maybe the confidence to take the ball,&quot; he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
