When should I step out and hit a spinner?  What types of balls should I always look to leave in a Test? Those are  the kinds of things we work on inside the first year. Other than that, I  think Marvan aiyya [Atapattu] doesn't like to change a lot about the way you bat, because that's what got you this far.  Chandimal, you've spoken of being in a form rut at the moment. As a young player how do get out of that?DC: I had a lot of coaching during April. There were a few small technical problems in my game. I worked those out with Marvan aiyya. That said I haven't been scoring many runs since then. But every  sportsman goes through bad patches. No matter how hard you work on it,  sometimes you don't get the rewards. That isn't just in cricket but in  life as well - whether you're running a business or playing another  sport, it's the same. At other times things happen for you when you  haven't worked towards it. You have to weigh all that up in your  approach to the game.  <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/654707.html" target="_blank">http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/654707.html</a></blockquote>
