Nagpur: Sri Lanka interim coach Nic Pothas feels that there were “no demons” in the VCA Stadium track and rued the manner in which six batsmen of the team got out to straight deliveries on the first day of the second Test against India. “At the international level, it’s no surprise that Ravindra Jadeja bowls straight balls. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja got wickets bowling stump to stump. You can’t miss straight balls at this level,” Pothas said at the end of the first day’s play where Sri Lanka were skittled out for a meagre 205. “On a wicket that hasn’t done much, we lost seven wickets to spin.
