Sri Lanka had a very poor test series against Australia, they didn't show much fight at all which was a shame as it would of been nice to see them fight a lot harder today and make Australia earn their wickets but that wasn't the case. Strac ripped through Sri Lanka in both innings taking 10 wickets for the match and deserved man of the match. Sri Lanka have a long way to go before they come good again, I just hope that it doesn't take too long.

This is a bigger challenge for the SL cricket board as this was one of the top sides when they had players like Dilshan, Sangakara, Jayawardhan, Murlidharan etc and with the retirement of their's the team has just not being able to get the right combination or player are just not upto the international standards.

You made me remember the golden days of Srilankan cricket when we had such world class players in Srilanka team.

I miss those great players SL had too . Jayasurya , Jayawardhana , Sangakkara , Dilshan and so on . The bowling unit too had some very good players . I feel that the biggest mistake SL did was all the experienced players retired at the same time . Look at how Dhoni is impacting the Indian team now , that was what is required in SL team now.

Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan were the best in bowling unit. rest are forgotten. without new crop it is not possible to sustain anything. i think srilankan crowd too not very interested in cricket now.

Well, it is hard to get the bowler like Muttiah Muralitharan again as he was a legend and he will be remembered in golden words through out the cricket history.
