Australia after perfection as Sri Lanka try to learn from their mistakes Australia Cricket Team

WHats to do for perfection? Australia’s men ran as brutally as their counterparts in Melbourne last week in Galle, both teams ended a victory with an inner and abundant within 90 seconds.

The crowned boxes for the men’s team can fill a page: first struck more than 600; Fifty for her prise hit opener, who was selected to flirt the 1950s; Huge hundred for her other opener who had been without one for a long time; Third hundred out of four tests for their resonating Talisman, the same guy who is temporarily captain and pulls the reins as always; Ton in the debut for your No. 5, which was a conditions that was already limited before others. Not comfortable for your goalkeeper, who could otherwise be threatened by the debutant. Bowle the opposition twice in barely 100 overs in the two innings; Scale for their only fast RAM documents at the top; Scale for their experienced spinner who carries out the middle; And nine in the game for her left spinner, who almost missed a broken thumb.

The only performance of concern could be the third spinner Todd Murphy, who was hardly needed in a winding first first inner sings, in which second poles took on a straight ball and a bad vacation and was shown at five over the game at five o’clock. However, this can be the luck of the draw in a triple spin attack, in which a bowler may be aimed from despair if the others cut it well, and these roles can change from one game to the next.

Australia is undoubtedly unchanged for the second and last test that begins on Thursday. A better representation for Murphy, larger points for Marnus Labuschagne and Beau Webster, and they will be full after they have already retained the Warne Muralitharan trophy as the current owner. It has no influence on the world test championship classification, but it will underline Australia as a worthy finalist, while England and India’s most high -ranking administrators make plans to crush the current structure and not be qualified.

Nevertheless, a dominant performance in one test does not guarantee the same. Australia was the luck of the coin in a place that was flat for two days and then turned more and more, as some bile tracks could do. Steve Smith’s joy of choosing bats was obvious and twice the way, because 70% of his career hit hundreds first. He soon increased this brand to 71.5%.

But Smith became a trap after moving from 9,999 career runs to 10,000. Usman Khawaja was also dropped, and both the veteran and the Travis head received reprieves when Sri Lanka did not check false decisions. Take these gates early and Australia could not have been a few downs for not many, a different kind of match unfold. Sri Lanka will never know what could have happened, but at first you were not a team without chance.

However, you need a drastic turnaround in attitude and application, and that starts from the captain down. Dhananjaya de Silva was often a dynamic cricket presence, so it was all the more mystifying when Australia’s score repeatedly turned to the same four bowlers. And even under this quartet, his specialist Seamer Asitha Fernando bog only 15 over. His three spinners involved 139 of them and in one side with three credible part -time options, including one who can chew with both arms, de Silva called.

It was a mile of the most runs that were granted by a four -person attack, and it remains inexplicable, more than the hidden and hasty choice of fires caused by Sri Lanka’s fall crash. At least those were in the heat of the moment, while the bowling madness existed with a night sleep for over two days to think about it. Questions about this not only rest with the captain, but also among the coaches who obviously do not intervene.

The second test therefore depends on Sri Lanka, which is displayed this time, and it also depends on what the soil staff delivers. In the event of a guess that is more of a field that turns from the first day, since the new track was played on four days from the start. It is not the case that Sri Lanka showed a talent against Australia’s shoot, but at least a strongly rotating route would take advantage of the throw. Australia has also prepared for these conditions and it would be much more entertaining and more educational to see how they fight difficulties.
