Lakmal's spell one of the best but job half done, says Rumesh Ratnayake

Kolkata, Nov 16 (Cricketnmore) Even though Sri Lanka fast bowling coach Rumesh Ratnayake on Thursday hailed Suranga Lakmal's majestic spell of swing bowling which brought the Indian top-order to its knees on day one of the first cricket Test here, he threw caution to the wind by saying that the job is only half done.

Lakmal sent Lokesh Rahul (0), Shikhar Dhawan (8) and skipper Virat Kohli (0) back in the hut with India tottering at 17/3 at stumps in a rain-affected match at the Eden Gardens. Only an hour of play was possible throughout the day with only 11.5 overs bowled.
