'It's Hard to be Steady' - Moeen Ali Disappointed by Britain Batting Changes 

all-rounder Moeen Ali said it was disappointing to be moved around the batting request amid the three-coordinate Test arrangement in Sri Lanka. Moeen scalped 18 wickets in the arrangement yet wasn't steady with the bat close by. 

Moeen batted at No. 3 in the opening Test in Galle, scoring 0 and 3, preceding being dropped down the request as the Joe Root-drove side whitewashed Sri Lanka in their own patio. Moeen then batted at No. 6 or 7 in the staying two Tests, overseeing scores of 10, 10, 33 and 22. 

"Truly, I wasn't exactly certain really on the grounds that in the warm-up diversions I batted seven and nine and afterward I was advised I would bat at three," he disclosed to Sky Sports Cricket. "At that point after one diversion, I went down to six and seven. I've had that previously so it's not different to me. 

"It tends to disappoint yet when you consider the side and what the group needs at the time then you sort of get over it and endeavor to proceed onward and attempt to do as well as can be expected as a cricketer for Britain. 

"I believe it's hard to be predictable. I never had that coordinate practice at three. The openers opened in the training amusements, Joe Root batted four, I batted five or six and that can be very disappointing on the grounds that you haven't been that three in the initial two practice recreations and afterward you're in the Test match and batting at three. 

"It tends to be (disappointing) yet the group was most likely extraordinary to how they had it in the back of their heads toward the beginning of the visit. We needed to attempt and adjust to that as a group and I attempted yet it clearly didn't work out, yet with the ball it was extraordinary." 

Ben Stirs and Keaton Jennings batted at No. 3 in the second Test before Jonny Bairstow was brought back in the line-up as an authority batsman for the last experience. Bairstow scored a splendid century in the main innings and helped Britain finish the whitewash. 

Moeen said Bairstow has motivated every one of the fixings to make that recognize his own. 

"Unquestionably, I figure he can after the quality he has sown throughout the years," said Moeen. "He was continually going to get a hundred that day. 

"He's that kind of fellow, he flourishes in those circumstances. He was clearly a little vexed he wasn't playing in the amusement previously however that is the thing that you need from a side, someone that can venture up and come in at three and score a hundred. 

"I'm certain he will have difficulties going ahead however he's constantly ventured up to them and he's a quality player.
