Aussie success

A change of captain has brought an immediate change of fortune for Australia on their troubled tour of Sri Lanka, as George Bailey’s half-century helped secure a nervy two-wicket win in Dambulla yesterday to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match one-day cricket series. David Warner debuted as skipper following Steve Smith’s sudden return and a high-energy showing in the field eventually resulted in Sri Lanka being bowled out for 226 off 49.2 overs. Bailey hit a match-winning innings of 70 from 99 balls and added 81 for the fifth wicket in concert with wicketkeeper Matthew Wade (42 off 45).
