CAT – 1st Test
Australia v Sri Lanka
Fri 14 Dec 2012, 11:30pm GMT (prev day), 10:30am local
Australia win by 137 runs
| Australia | 450-5d (131 ovs) & 278 (73.5 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Sri Lanka | 336 (109.3 ovs) & 255 (119.2 ovs) |
Over 120. no runs. Bowler: Mitchell Starc. Sri Lanka: 255/10(rr 2.12)
OUT! Caught. Starc to Eranga. Seaming away short, outside off stump on the back foot Fended, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to wicketkeeper, fielded by Wade. There it is for Australia, Starc ends with five but it was Peter Siddle who set this win up. Batting first it was initially Michael Clarke's attacking declaration that opened this game up. Peter Siddle then backed his captain up with a five wicket haul but Dilshan kept Sri Lanka in the game with a magnificent century. Australia lost Hilfenhaus and Clarke to injury, the latter of which triggered a second innings collapse, leaving Sri Lanka 393 to chase on the final day. For the first two sessions the Australians looked flat but once Peter Siddle picked up two quickly, Mitchell Starc turned up the pace and ripped out the lower order to seal a comfortable win.
