GALLE (SRI LANKA) - Australia skipper Steven Smith on Saturday urged his spinners to step up their game after his side's crushing 229-run loss to Sri Lanka in the second Test in Galle. We need to find ways to bowl differently to how we bowl our spin in Australia as well," Smith said. Perera bagged six wickets to help bundle out Australia for 183 after lunch on the third day as Sri Lanka registered their first Test series triumph against the visitors since 1999. The spinners have to find a way to get wickets and keep the runs dry on these surfaces. "You look at the Sri Lankan spinners or any of the subcontinent spinners, they bowl that side seam on the ball where they can go up and down with their speeds and trajectory," he added.
