The match ended a day and rival captains Michael Clarke and Tillakaratne Dilshan slammed the dry wicket after play finished. Clarke, celebrating his first win as Australia captain, said he had never played on a tougher pitch.
“Day one felt like day five out there,” Clarke said. “I hate to see a Test match being determined by the toss. It was obviously prepared for their spin bowlers and that backfired. I guess I was just fortunate I won the toss.”Dilshan said he had not expected to play on such a dry surface.
“Usually, the wicket in Galle is good for both the seamers and the spinners, but I think it was too dry and made batting difficult,” he said. The second Test starts at the Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy on Thursday.
