Ya Wellalage much improved now at this level while Theekshana sometime too good, i think Silva not playing today, not sure but he is such tuff spinner to Negotiate on Wicket like this at Lucknow

Australia were desperate for a win coming into this. Sri Lanka needed a shot in their arm as well. The latter started better. They were cruising as both their openers got fifties. But then the Aussie skipper removed both the openers. Zampa got his act together after a okayish start. Starc nipped a few at the end and Maxwell finished it off. Apart from the openers, none of them came to the party. Neither Mendis nor the talented Samarawickrama added anything substantial. And credit to Australian bowlers as well. They bowled wicket to wicket and it is evident from the fact that 6 out of the 9 wickets that fell to bowlers were either LBW or bowled. 210 on this wicket shouldn't be that tough to chase down.

Pat is a good guy but his captaincy is not that great especially in India. While Smith led Australia to win one test in Border Gavaskar trophy

He will have to relinquish one day - write this on a slate with a pencil - i mean mark my words

Karuna: "Very frustrating to see SL line up implode like this after such a fantastic start by openers. Maybe the team is lacking leadership."

Sowmya : "Well begun is half done but the other half also needs to be done by sustaining the beginning and also finishing well."

SL only win once in 1996 wC vs Aus

BeardGuy: "I think Sri Lanka still stands a chance, if they are able to use the wind to generate lots of swing and drift."

For those
