Photo ReutersSri Lanka completed a rare 3-0 sweep over Australia after left-arm spinner Rangana Herath spun the hosts to a comprehensive 163-run victory in the final test in Colombo. Sri Lanka batted for 4.3 overs in the morning to add 35 runs to their overnight score of 312 for eight before declaring. After Moises Henriques ran himself out, Herath mowed down the Australian lower order to complete the whitewash. "It's been a tough series," Smith said after Australia exposed their spin frailties and slumped to their ninth consecutive test defeat in Asia. I think Sri Lanka have played some great cricket over this series.
