Match facts August 4-8, 2016 Start time 10.00 local (04.30 GMT)Big Picture Galled by their own performance in Pallekele, here Australia might be just be Galled full stop. Rod Marsh, the national selector, spoke after the loss in the first Test of Australias excellent preparation. What else can we do, really? he wondered out loud. He sounded like an exasperated parent whose wayward kids can only be guided so far. But Australia will need to do something different when the second Test starts in Galle. They enter the match 1-0 down in the three-Test series and a losing campaign would likely result in them slipping from No.1 on the rankings. They could even fall as far as third.It was Sri Lankas spinners - as well of course as Kusal Mendis with his outstanding century - who troubled Australia most in Pallekele. And that was the one venue on this tour that might actually have suited Australia somewhat. On a dry pitch in Galle, spinners are expected to gain significant turn right from the outset. Overall at Galle, 61.79% of Test wickets have been taken by spinners. Of all Test venues to have hosted at least 10 matches, only Chittagong has a higher proportion of wickets for the slow bowlers. You half expect Michael J. Fox to be Galles deputy mayor, such a spin city it is.It is also the only home venue at which Sri Lanka have a winning record of better than 50%. They are hard to beat on the turning pitch, and will be brimming with confidence after their win in the first Test. Steven Smith, by comparison, will be desperate to turn Australias fortunes around after his first loss as Test captain.Form guide Sri Lanka: WDLLL (last five completed matches, most recent first)? Australia: LWWDWIn the spotlight There is a reason left-arm wrist-spin is also known as left-arm unorthodox: it is extremely rare. Why? Hard to say. But right-armers are more common than left-armers, and finger-spinners more common than wrist-spinners, so it is natural that it should be the least prevalent variety of spin. So much so, in fact, that Lakshan Sandakan is the first left-arm wrist-spinner from Asia to play Test cricket. Its an extraordinary fact, considering how turning pitches are mostly the norm in the in the subcontinent. But Sandakans rarity makes him all the more of a threat, and Australias batsmen struggled with the unknown in Pallekele. On debut, Sandakan finished with match figures of 7 for 107; he extracted big turn and bowled very few bad deliveries. He could just be the perfect spin partner for Rangana Herath.Back in May, the national selectors picked five spinners to represent Australia during winter tours. Jon Holland didnt figure in the shortlist. In the Test squad to tour Sri Lanka were Nathan Lyon and Steve OKeefe, and in the Australia A squad were Ashton Agar, Cameron Boyce and Mitch Swepson. And yet here is Holland in Galle, set to become Australias 444th Test cricketer. Holland was called up for Australia A because of an injury to Agar. Now, an injury to OKeefe and Holland was flown to Sri Lanka before he even had a chance to play for Australia A. An attacking left-armer who has been highly rated since his early days, Holland has had limited opportunities with Victoria in recent years due to the presence of Fawad Ahmed. But when he plays, he takes wickets.Team news Nuwan Pradeep is in doubt with a hamstring strain, which could force Sri Lanka to field a debutant fast bowler - either Vishwa Fernando or Asitha Fernando. Three frontline spinners are again expected on a pitch that should turn plenty. There is the chance that Sri Lanka might drop the opener Dimuth Karunaratne, but the lack of experience elsewhere in the side could save him.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Dimuth Karunaratne, 2 Kaushal Silva, 3 Kusal Mendis, 4 Dinesh Chandimal (wk), 5 Angelo Mathews (capt), 6 Dhananjaya de Silva, 7 Kusal Perera, 8 Dilruwan Perera, 9 Rangana Herath, 10 Lakshan Sandakan, 11 Vishwa Fernando/Asitha Fernando.Holland will come in for OKeefe, Australias only change to the XI.Australia 1 David Warner, 2 Joe Burns, 3 Usman Khawaja, 4 Steven Smith (capt), 5 Adam Voges, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Peter Nevill (wk), 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Nathan Lyon, 10 Josh Hazlewood, 11 Jon Holland.Pitch and conditions The Galle pitch was already very dry a couple of days out from the Test and should take turn from the beginning.Stats and triviaThe past 11 Tests in Sri Lanka have all brought results: seven wins for Sri Lanka and four losses. Not since they played South Africa in Colombo in July 2014 has there been a drawThis will be Sri Lankas 250th Test match since their debut 34 years ago. By comparison, it took Australia 83 years to get to 250 TestsSteven Smith needs 63 runs to reach 4000 in Tests. If he does it in this match he will be the third-fastest Australian to the milestone, behind only Don Bradman and Matthew HaydenQuotes As a chinaman bowler, Sandakan has impressed everyone with his control. When you have such control, you can be devastating. He can also bowl the googly. Then more than anything, he gets turn. Thats the complete package you expect from a spin bowler.Rangana Herath on his spin colleague Lakshan SandakanI wasnt yelling at the players. It was obviously disappointing, the loss in Kandy, my first loss as captain. It was a different experience and hopefully it doesnt happen too often. We know what we have to do to turn it around, its just about making sure we go out there and do it.Steven Smith seeks to rebound from his first loss as Test captain Larry Johnson Jersey .

Brisbane have come from behind against the Sydney Roosters to secure captain Corey Parker a victory in his final NRL regular-season match.The Broncos overcame a sloppy opening 30 minutes on Thursday night to post a 24-14 win at Suncorp Stadium in Parkers 154th NRL match.Coach Wayne Bennett will have plenty of questions after an underwhelming display ahead of the finals, however the victory does lift Brisbane into fourth on the ladder.Fifth-placed North Queensland need to beat Gold Coast on Saturday in Townsville for the premiers to secure a top-four finish.Just like they did last weekend against Cronulla, the 14th-placed Roosters started brightly.Tries to Dale Copley and Connor Watson opened up a 14-0 lead after 28 minutes.But the Broncos all but erased that margin by halftime when a double strike by Anthony Milford and James Roberts ensured the score was just 14-12 at the break.Roberts try would have particularly upset Roosters coach Trent Robinson with winger Daniel Tupou spilling a second-tackle kick by the Broncos to gift the home team a try.Brisbane were lucky to still be in the contest after a half in which they completed just eight of 15 sets and made 23 tackles inside their 20 to none by the Roosters.Scores were levelled 11 minutes into the second half and then a sweeping move put Jordan Kahu over in the 56th minute for the Broncos to hit the front for the first time.The Broncos dominated the remaining minutes but it took a broken-play break by Roberts in the 75th minute and then a quick-thinking grubber to find Kahu which ensured the Broncos took out the match.ddddddddddddEx-Bronco Copley, whose first-half try was his third this year against his old club, failed to complete the opening stanza when he was knocked out trying to tackle Kahu.Its Copleys third concussion this season and comes just three weeks after being knocked out in the seventh minute of the Roosters shock round-23 win over the Cowboys.The Roosters 18th loss of the season ensures the Tricolours - minor premiers the previous three seasons - will end the year in 15th.Parker praised his teams response at halftime after their sluggish start to the match.The first half, we didnt do ourselves any favours, he said.We re-addressed where we wanted to go at halftime and the response to that was very good.Keeping them scoreless in the second half and we were able to build some momentum and pressure and got the job done.Robinson said the performance had shown elements of fight but was ultimately symptomatic of a season that had been a huge disappointment.Thought we were right in the game, thought we played really well and then just errors under pressure, Id say, in the last 20 really cost us, he said.Really proud of them but, again, not good enough.
