Sri Lanka vs Australia First Test: David Warner’s one-handed dive to knock out Sri Lanka’s captain Dimuth Karunaratne is legendary. Clock

Australia started the Test series with Sri Lanka in an emphatic fashion, knocking out the home team for 212 on the first day of the first Test in Galle. As expected, it is the gyros that rule the rooster, sharing 8 of them. Veteran off spinner Nathan Lyon picked up his 20th year stick in the Leggings Trial Mitchell Swepson chipped with three wicks.

While the players turned bowling well, the Australians played for money on the field, making some nimble catches to beat the Sri Lankans.

The wicket of captain captain Lankan Dimuth Karunaratne is always the key and it gives the courtesy to a magical dive of the ageless David Warner.
