Test of allegiance won’t worry Moody

Tom Moody is sure he won't have any problems watching Sri Lanka take on Australia. Moody was part of two World Cup wins for Australia in 1987 and 1999, but he will be sitting in the coach’s box of Sri Lanka in Grenada on Monday.

“It's no different to any other match,” he told AFP. "Obviously I've got some good friends in the opposition side who I've played with and won a World Cup with. But at the end of the day that doesn't mean my focus and preparation is any different for the Sri Lankan team against Australia than it would be against any other team. I'm focused on winning the match and doing my job as professionally as possible.

"Coaching and playing are completely different. It's me preparing a team to perform at its best. Whether it's against my home country or not is really irrelevant.”
