An honest Jayawardene accepted the Sri Lankans had let themselves down during the tour, laying much of the blame at the hands of the batsmen. He added: "That's where our experience lies and that's where we control a lot of Test matches. "We need to make sure we take that control back whether it's the technical side of it or the mental side that we need to address. "We have spoken about it but there's only so much you can talk behind closed doors - we need to go out there and perform."
