“Australia has just been a bit behind the game with their fielding. Pat Cummins returned figures of 4-35 but his effort went in vain. Warner wasn't the only one, however, with Australia making a number of errors in the field during the first half of the first innings. Jeffrey Vandersay (7) nicked off to Cummins in the 41st over to give the Test captain his third, before Dunith Wellalage (20) chopped on for the quick’s fourth. Karunaratne got Smith for 28 and Wellalage’s two wickets of Head (23) and Marnus Labuchagne (18) in his two overs put the Aussies in trouble at 132-5.

“We had got lot of planning going ahead of the game and I was trying to figure out what the batsmen was trying to do and then I had to come up with a counter move. Cummins’ extra pace and bounce tested the Sri Lankans, who never had any momentum in their innings with none of the batsmen able to post a half-century. Australia have been forced to scrape the barrel given the number of injuries to their bowlers. We need to keep improving and that’s one area we can be better and today showed it as well. “I was asking myself why I wasn’t contributing more to the team. He was well backed up by Dushmantha Chameera, who finished with 2-19.

Wellalage runs in, sides, and judges the dip to perfection to keep his hands under. I came back after two and a half years and that is why my celebration is for the universe. We can't do much about the injuries, but lucky that the A team is in Hambantota and we could have a replacement. We didn't take the right options with the bat and we need to come up with the right options in the next game. 35.6 Chameera to Cummins, out Caught by Wellalage!! Bouncer, angling in at pace, kicking up big time off the pitch, and hurrying Cummins up. It wasn't the easiest of pitches, but given how the Aussies seemed to be cruising at one point in their chase, choking them here is some achievement. The spinners put the brakes in the middle overs, before the quicks came in, bowled their hearts out, and blew away the tail. Chasing in these conditions where the wicket is slow and spinning is something we need to keep improving on. It was a packed house and I want to thank Kandy. Even on the field the attitude and the concentration is top class. But when we went onto the field, I had a feeling and the trust that our bowlers would defend. It's no secret that Sri Lanka as a country is in the middle of some testing times.
