Unfazed by Mahendra Singh Dhoni's less than impressive show behind the stumps
so far, India's fielding coach Robin Singh today said it would take time
for the wicketkeeper to adapt to the tough English conditions. 
"Dhoni has not lost his confidence and not dropped any
catches. He has done reasonably well. The conditions haven't been easy,"
Robin said.
"Even Matt Prior (England wicketkeeper) has been
struggling. So we are not overly concerned about Dhoni's keeping," he added.
Brushing aside the criticism directed towards Dhoni, Robin
said it would take time for the the wicketkeeper to get used to the conditions.
"It takes time. I've been talking to Alec Stewart and others here.
I even spoke to Andy Flower, who gave up the gloves in this sort of scenario,"
he said.
"In England the ball swings a lot and even their wicketkeeper
was struggling a lot. Matt Prior has not had the best time," he added.
On the three-day tour game against Sri Lanka starting
tomorrow, Robin said the team was keen to maintain its rhythm, following the
remarkable victory over England in the second Test at Trent Bridge.
