Serves us right for preparing a sub standard wicket. The trap intended for the Aussies, sprang on us instead.

Well said. Sri Lanka is the only test playing nation that does not have 'Consistency" in their dictionary. Sometimes they are good. At times they are bad and most times they are shamelessly pathatic!!!!!!!!!!!
