Sri Lanka will try to bounce back in the series after losing the first one-day international.The match will be played in Hambantota where the Lankan batsmen will try to be little more circumspective than they were in the last match.For Sri Lanka, the most important thing is to take a good, hard look at the way their batsmen played on the last match.It was as if, after their two T20 victories, they had failed to adjust to 50-over mode. The captain, Tillakaratne Dilshan, set the tone with a very loose dismissal, trying to force David Hussey over mid-off from a ball that was too full, and he wasn t the only one to throw his wicket away.Mahela Jayawardene flashed at a fullish wide ball before he had his eye in and was caught behind, and Angelo Mathews copied his captain s folly.Australia put in a solid all-round performance in Pallekele, but the spin threat is still present. Their top order cannot lose focus when facing Mendis and Suraj Randiv.Lasith Malinga is expected to make a return to the side and the pace attack won t exactly be a pushover either, if he returns.
