Sri Lanka vs Australia: 5 reasons why Australia can redeem themselves in the subcontinent

#4 Excellent players against spin

Both Steven Smith and David Warner are excellent players of spin

For all their problems in the pace department, Sri Lanka seem to be covered in the spin department. Rangana Herath remains a match-winner in spinning conditions and he has displayed on more than one occasion that he can win matches all by himself.

But the presence of the likes of David Warner, Steven Smith, Usman Khawaja and Adam Voges in the batting department will give the tourists a lot of conviction. These players have played enough in Asian conditions and know how to tackle spin and slow bowling.

For instance, Steven Smith is by far the best player of spin in the side, and David Warner on his day can not only negate any threat but also can take matches away from the opposition in a jiffy.

Another box has been ticked!
