We should strengthen top order - Mahela

Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene said that he cannot specify any reason for the failure and said that every time they play in this particular venue it happens. "

Probably we need to approach it a bit better when you are playing here you will have to be more confident and make sure that we don't make too many mistakes. The first innings of this wicket was pretty good they scored big runs and Ross (Taylor) and Kane (Williamson) batted really well. When our opportunity came in the first innings we were unable to put up a big score that's where we made the mistake and from that point onwards we were under pressure." He said.

"New Zealand fast bowlers really bowled well even in Galle. Dougie (Bracewell) is a seam bowler and he seams the ball around well, when there unit is pretty good, a very young talented one we knew that they are going to pose a threat and we also knew that it was there game plan as well. They went with three fast bowlers knowing that it is there strength and we have to make sure that we try and control upfront specially with the new ball where in Test matches we give too many wickets upfront and we never got any momentum. So they capitalised on that and that's something we need to look at in Australia," said the Sri Lankan captain.
