Match facts August 4-8, 2016 Start time 10.00 local (04.30 GMT)Big Picture Galled by their own performance in Pallekele, here Australia might be just be Galled full stop. Rod Marsh, the national selector, spoke after the loss in the first Test of Australias excellent preparation. What else can we do, really? he wondered out loud. He sounded like an exasperated parent whose wayward kids can only be guided so far. But Australia will need to do something different when the second Test starts in Galle. They enter the match 1-0 down in the three-Test series and a losing campaign would likely result in them slipping from No.1 on the rankings. They could even fall as far as third.It was Sri Lankas spinners - as well of course as Kusal Mendis with his outstanding century - who troubled Australia most in Pallekele. And that was the one venue on this tour that might actually have suited Australia somewhat. On a dry pitch in Galle, spinners are expected to gain significant turn right from the outset. Overall at Galle, 61.79% of Test wickets have been taken by spinners. Of all Test venues to have hosted at least 10 matches, only Chittagong has a higher proportion of wickets for the slow bowlers. You half expect Michael J. Fox to be Galles deputy mayor, such a spin city it is.It is also the only home venue at which Sri Lanka have a winning record of better than 50%. They are hard to beat on the turning pitch, and will be brimming with confidence after their win in the first Test. Steven Smith, by comparison, will be desperate to turn Australias fortunes around after his first loss as Test captain.Form guide Sri Lanka: WDLLL (last five completed matches, most recent first)? Australia: LWWDWIn the spotlight There is a reason left-arm wrist-spin is also known as left-arm unorthodox: it is extremely rare. Why? Hard to say. But right-armers are more common than left-armers, and finger-spinners more common than wrist-spinners, so it is natural that it should be the least prevalent variety of spin. So much so, in fact, that Lakshan Sandakan is the first left-arm wrist-spinner from Asia to play Test cricket. Its an extraordinary fact, considering how turning pitches are mostly the norm in the in the subcontinent. But Sandakans rarity makes him all the more of a threat, and Australias batsmen struggled with the unknown in Pallekele. On debut, Sandakan finished with match figures of 7 for 107; he extracted big turn and bowled very few bad deliveries. He could just be the perfect spin partner for Rangana Herath.Back in May, the national selectors picked five spinners to represent Australia during winter tours. Jon Holland didnt figure in the shortlist. In the Test squad to tour Sri Lanka were Nathan Lyon and Steve OKeefe, and in the Australia A squad were Ashton Agar, Cameron Boyce and Mitch Swepson. And yet here is Holland in Galle, set to become Australias 444th Test cricketer. Holland was called up for Australia A because of an injury to Agar. Now, an injury to OKeefe and Holland was flown to Sri Lanka before he even had a chance to play for Australia A. An attacking left-armer who has been highly rated since his early days, Holland has had limited opportunities with Victoria in recent years due to the presence of Fawad Ahmed. But when he plays, he takes wickets.Team news Nuwan Pradeep is in doubt with a hamstring strain, which could force Sri Lanka to field a debutant fast bowler - either Vishwa Fernando or Asitha Fernando. Three frontline spinners are again expected on a pitch that should turn plenty. There is the chance that Sri Lanka might drop the opener Dimuth Karunaratne, but the lack of experience elsewhere in the side could save him.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Dimuth Karunaratne, 2 Kaushal Silva, 3 Kusal Mendis, 4 Dinesh Chandimal (wk), 5 Angelo Mathews (capt), 6 Dhananjaya de Silva, 7 Kusal Perera, 8 Dilruwan Perera, 9 Rangana Herath, 10 Lakshan Sandakan, 11 Vishwa Fernando/Asitha Fernando.Holland will come in for OKeefe, Australias only change to the XI.Australia 1 David Warner, 2 Joe Burns, 3 Usman Khawaja, 4 Steven Smith (capt), 5 Adam Voges, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Peter Nevill (wk), 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Nathan Lyon, 10 Josh Hazlewood, 11 Jon Holland.Pitch and conditions The Galle pitch was already very dry a couple of days out from the Test and should take turn from the beginning.Stats and triviaThe past 11 Tests in Sri Lanka have all brought results: seven wins for Sri Lanka and four losses. Not since they played South Africa in Colombo in July 2014 has there been a drawThis will be Sri Lankas 250th Test match since their debut 34 years ago. By comparison, it took Australia 83 years to get to 250 TestsSteven Smith needs 63 runs to reach 4000 in Tests. If he does it in this match he will be the third-fastest Australian to the milestone, behind only Don Bradman and Matthew HaydenQuotes As a chinaman bowler, Sandakan has impressed everyone with his control. When you have such control, you can be devastating. He can also bowl the googly. Then more than anything, he gets turn. Thats the complete package you expect from a spin bowler.Rangana Herath on his spin colleague Lakshan SandakanI wasnt yelling at the players. It was obviously disappointing, the loss in Kandy, my first loss as captain. It was a different experience and hopefully it doesnt happen too often. We know what we have to do to turn it around, its just about making sure we go out there and do it.Steven Smith seeks to rebound from his first loss as Test captain Nike Air Max Cheap Wholesale . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Three black womens basketball players alleged in a lawsuit that a small southwest Missouri college treated them differently than white students before expelling them without justification.Breauna Carter, Amalia Harris and Dajanae Wilson, all of Kansas City, filed the lawsuit Tuesday against Cottey College, a womens college of about 350 residential students in Nevada, Missouri, which had offered them all athletic and academic scholarships for the 2015-16 school year. The lawsuit contends the school violated the womens civil rights by creating a racially hostile environment, selectively enforcing its policies and procedures, and retaliating against them for complaining.The women allege that during the 2015-16 basketball season, Stephanie Beason, athletic director and womens basketball coach, treated them differently than the white players. Beason also punished them more severely than white players, ridiculed them and did not give them equal playing time.The suit claimed Beason referred to the black players as the Black Attack, and often divided the team into black and white players during practice. But she wouldnt play many of the black players at the same time during games, even though seven of the 13 players were black, according to the lawsuit.Mari Ann Phillips, vice president of student life, expelled the three students after one semester, saying they had repeatedly engaged in behavior that has been disruptive and intimidating, and that has created an unreasonable risk or danger to the safety of other students. No one at the school ever presenteed any evidence to back up that complaint, according to the lawsuit.ddddddddddddThe school violated its own policies and procedures throughout the semester by offering the players no chance to appeal or contest the decision, according to the lawsuit.After their expulsions, the college withheld the womens transcripts, making it impossible for them to enroll in another school the next semester. The women are now trying to enroll at other institutions for this fall, according to their attorney, Daniel Zmijewski.Cottey officials did not immediately respond Thursday to a phone call and email seeking comment. The non-denominational college was founded in 1884 by Virginia Alice Cottey, who bequeathed it in 1927 to the P.E.O. Sisterhood, a philanthropic educational organization that supports womens education.The lawsuit comes about four months after Iowa State womens basketball coach Bill Fennelly was sued by a former player for race discrimination and retaliation. Nikki Moody, who is black, sued Fennelly in April, saying the coach demeaned, harassed and discriminated against her while she played point guard for the Cyclones from 2012-15. She also sued the university and the state of Iowa.Fennelly has declined to address her allegations, except to deny that hes not the person Ive been accused of being. Iowa States administration has said the universitys Office of Equal Opportunity could not substantiate Moodys complaints of racial discrimination.
