It is unbelievable how the Sri Lankan team played. Despite the injuries, the fight shown as an 'international' team was next to nothing. Having said that, really enjoyed watching Rangana Herath at work and the effort from Prasad. Sanga was the only reliable batsman. Apart from that Sri Lanka need some miracles to happen in Sydney even to draw the match. Well, losing the match is understandable with a strong Aussie side. But show some fight!

He sounds like the Indian captain Dhoni. It is nice to say we need to take more responsibility but will it happen? They will do the same thing next match and series lost 3-0. Sri Lanka is not up to Test Match standard. Australia V Sri Lanka is like Pros V School Boys, there is too much gap.
