'Can't let Aus off the hook'
Sri Lanka are in no mood to let Australia off the hook as they look to follow up their first Test victory over the top side in 17 years, skipper Angelo Mathews said Wednesday.
Speaking on the eve of the second Test in Galle, Mathews said last week's dramatic win in the series opener in Pallekele had banished the gloom in the home dressing-room after a string of defeats.
And Mathews said his team had a game plan for each of the tourists' leading batsmen who have struggled to adapt to the extra turn on Sri Lanka's pitches.
"The feeling is great in the camp after the beating we had got in the last six months."
"The guys were feeling a bit down and after the win at Pallekele we have got that extra confidence and extra energy going into this Test."
Sri Lanka have endured a torrid 2016, losing their crown as T20 champions after being knocked out in the group stages, before a tour of England where they failed to win any of their nine internationals.
