Jayawardene credits strong support

players, the wicket looks good and we have got to believe that we can get 500 as well."

Kirsten also gave his support to the umpire referral system, but claimed it would take time for players to come to terms with it.

"The challenge system puts a bit of pressure on the bowler really. I think he needs to make the call with the keeper. Certainly the bowler needs to know what his laws are, especially the lbw rule," he said.

"I think its going to take a bit of time for every to understand it. But I think it is great for the game and brings in a bit of excitement as well."
