srilanka solutions to their batting revive against Australia

Galle: Sri Lanka were on Sunday searching for solutions to their batting woes after Australia hammered them by 125 runs in the first cricket Test in Galle.
Sri Lanka managed 253 in their second knock on in the back of a classy century from Mahela Jayawardene and 95 from young Angelo Mathews, but the target of 379 never looked like being surpassed.
They have now gone nine Tests without a win since the retirement of world bowling record holder Muttiah Muralitharan in July last year, but it is the batting that is causing the main worry.

In Cardiff in May, Sri Lanka were all out for 82 in just 24.4 overs, losing to England by an innings in a Test match that had been destined for a draw.
When Sri Lanka batted a second time, Dilshan played a few loose shots before he was bowled by Ryan Harris for 12.
"I'm not going to change my batting," said Dilshan. "I've batted aggressively over the last three or four years and done well. I want to play my shots.
Dilshan said he hopes his team-mates will have learnt a lesson for the second Test which starts in Pallekele on Thursday.
Australia, meanwhile, enjoyed an unscheduled break after winning the first Test with a day to spare even as former captain Ricky Ponting flew home to await the birth of his second child.
Ponting, who on Saturday became the world's first cricketer to play in 100 Test wins, will miss the second match but is expected to return for the third in Colombo from September 16.
Shaun Marsh is likely to take Ponting's place in the side, but Australia are flying in opener David Warner as a precaution.
