Dilruwan Perera Shine in Sri Lanka's series win
Dilruwan Perera snared his maiden wicket haul in 10 Poland visitors out for paltry total of 183 in the second innings of the hosts tested a convincing 229-run victory, which helped them seal the 3rd test of the three match series 2-0 day Galle international stadium on Saturday (August 6). In fact, this was the only Sri Lankan victory in the second test series in Australia. The only other time they were pipped to tourists in 1999, when the home side won 1-0 in a rain-marred three-match series.
After the break, Mitchell stârc (26) entertained the sizeable crowd with its long handle, but it was only delaying the inevitable. Once he nipped are Rangana Herath, Josh Hazlewood (7) and Peter Nevill (24) were dismissed in quick succession. The match ended in dramatic fashion, as Nevill flicked the ball to short leg of Kusal Mendis, who showed superb reflexes to carry out a direct hit wicket-keeper-batsman to be caught short of the crease.
Visitors now suffered eight consecutive losing Asia. On the other hand, after the summer injurious to England, where they can post all formats even a victory against the home team, Sri Lanka have a lot to cheer about. It was their collective brilliance that powered them to a series win. Herath and Perera teamed up to pluck 18 wickets between them in the game, while Mendis and Angelo Mathews consists of helpful hands. Constantly alert close-in fielders also played an important role in snapping up hard features.
At the start of the day, and Lakshan Perera Sandakan efforts to prize David Warner (41), Steve Smith (30), Adam Voges (28) and Mitchell Marsh (18) put on the outcome beyond doubt.
Among the Australian batsmen, Warner showed the need of tactical Nous flare briefly. He looked to the pitch of the ball, but the couple soon `Perera and Herath drew their length, he folded the camp theme for the gaps in the field. However, as the subtle variations of drift and turn off the 34-year-old spinner nipped out aggressive opener.
For a while, Perera was tossing it and plugging away on the off stump out of the channel. He then moved to the target line of the stumps and bowling application ARM- ball. Warner can not pick up vibrations, and rapped on the pads. After a little hesitation, that the appeal of high-field UMPIRE answered positively. Warner, however, took the review, but the ball tracker is anticipated that it will knock the stumps and Perera rewarded for its perseverance.
The other end of the spectrum, Smith played with the air of composure shaky batting line-up together. He tried to step down the road, but also occasions wait for the ball to arrive and play his eye line. His colleague, Voges, try to be proactive to reverse sweep. 36-year-old middle-order batsman, then charged down the track Perera and seemed to be eked out with midfielder positioned inside edge to short leg grabbing.
Voges, however, will be elected by the review, and it was clear replays that missed the edge of the Bat, and Chris Gaffaney forced to overturn its decision. Sri Lanka, however, did not have to wait long to celebrate because Smith Perera prized out of the 20 innings.
Loud calls bat- pad exemption was not granted. However, Angelo Mathews picked up straight away and there seemed to be faint inside edge of the review. For the second time in three overs, Gaffaney was forced to change its decision.
Voges, to its credit, soaked up the pressure to keep the spin trio Herath, Perera and Lakshan at Sandakan Bay. He had a few nervous moments along the way, however, was able to glue together the innings. Mitchell Marsh looked unsure as he pushed and poked at deliveries only and all off- stump, and then shared a stand of 39 before Voges was named the 33th leg.
He also has not ruled out the on-field umpire, but Sri Lanka opted to review. Since the Marsh did not offer a shot and the ball hitting the stumps, verdict reversed.
Australia needs a lot of thinking, after slipping to a loss in Asia. The visitors' woes against the turning ball can be encapsulated by the fact that Smith was the only batsman to have made a fifty in this series for them so far. The top ranked Test side will end the series with a consolation victory in the third Test at Colombo, starting August 13.
