Australia 654 for 6 DC Beat Sri Lanka 165 and 247 (Vanders 53*, Mathews 41, Lyon 4-78, Kuhenman 4-86) by innings and 242 runs
Australia has removed any anxiety by steamrolling by ordering Sri Lanka’s list of Sri Lanka’s list of climbing weather in the first Test of Australia.
After washing two sessions for three days, the push for Australia’s straightforward victory was a bit threatened, which also forecast the fourth day with wet weather.
However, the rainfall stopped and Australia resumed their domination and demanded 15 wickets to seal a huge innings and 242 runs in a match, which effectively launched only nine sessions effectively. The bay between the two sides was that Australia batted in two innings in two innings compared to Sri Lanka’s 106.5 overs in their only innings.
Australia was well prepared and their plans were greatly done with bat and ball, but they came against an inefficiency of Sri Lanka. Tradition was very competitive in the territory between the parties, but Sri Lanka completely surpassed and February would have to be re -fastened before the second Test in the same venue, starting February.
The results mean that Australia retains the Warne-Murulidaran trophy.
After being forced to follow, Sri Lanka losing 5 in the first innings of 165, Sri Lanka hoped that there was an adequate fight to get to them in the afternoon during the expectation of rains and to fight enough to fight enough.
However, Sri Lanka’s troubles continued in their second innings against Mitchell Starc and off-spinner Tod Marfi, both of them bowled within about 24 hours.
In the third over, Plumba LBW fell in a deadly in-swing delivery from Osda Fernando Stark. Fernando, surprisingly, destroyed a review of another neglected use of Sri Lanka technology in this match.
This means that in the first innings, Chandimal came to the crease less than an hour after his previous dismissal. However, he saw from the other end as the opener Dimuth had a horrible mistake and clean bowled by not playing a shot against Marfi.
However, in the last over before lunch, there was a catastrophe when Australia had successfully reviewed the out-out decision on the 31 Gloved Lion Chandimal short leg.
When the game started again after the gap, the main interest was how fast Australia could pass through Sri Lanka.
However, Smith, so wonderful in this match, when he decided not to review an LBW shout in Mathews, who missed an attempt from Nathan Leone, he decided not to shout an LBW. The replays showed that the no-out decision would turn upside down, but despite Kamindu Mendis’s entertaining cameo, it did not stop Australia’s speed.
Kamindu showed the aggressive form on the attack that had driven him to 74 from 10 tests before this match. He dropped Kuhanman on the ground for a boundary for a 32 competition, but he could not deliver during the next delivery and came out on a deep midwicket.
It was another offensive dismissal for Sri Lanka and Kuhanman’s first wicket against the left-handers in Test cricket was talented, leaked 108 runs from 101 delivery.
Mathews soon fell to Lyon in the short leg before the captain Dhananjay de Silva and Kusal Mendis inevitably merge for half -century partnerships.
Lyon added several wickets to finish the match statistics by 5 runs after doing little during the recent series against India.
The result was faster in the end, but Australia entered the day game with some concern. The question was raised as to whether Australia had batted too long in their first innings as they posted their highest total in Asia.
Their first innings resumed the first innings by 66 and found himself with the unexpected hope of surviving with the draw due to wet weather. However, they needed Chandimal to compile an interesting half -century in three days.
There was pressure on Chandimal and Kusal Mendis as the latest recognized batter before the tail.
Smith deployed Kuhneman and Lyon from the Gate-Go because Chandimal anxiously worried the sweep that he had a good impact on three days of spending days.
It was a warning from Kuhanman from Sri Lanka batters, which occasionally cherished the surface, out of the bounce. Mendis went to his favorite sweep shot against Kuhanman, and he fired a boundary to extend Sri Lanka.
However, Australia was well prepared with their strategies, and Mendis was shot in a snake shot and took two fielders to the wicket’s deep squares. Mendis couldn’t hold itself and put a sweep on top to get caught well by the running marphy on the square leg.
The burden fell to Chandimal, who was unable to recover its fluency from the beginning of the innings. His rearguard finally ended in 72 when he missed a reverse sweep for reading LBW when he reviewed in vain.
Sri Lanka’s tail quickly folded the second five wickets of his Test career, demanding that India be 5 16 against India in Indore. He was just warm because Australia continued in their joyous way to defeat Sri Lanka in Test cricket.
