GALLE, Sri Lanka (AP) Australia captain Steve Smith expects his players to move on quickly from their shock 106-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the first test.

Smith says his players were ''disappointed and flat'' after losing but keen to turn the three-match series around in the second test, starting Thursday in Galle.

Sri Lanka secured a morale-boosting win in the first test in Pallekele after a losing streak.

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews says that, despite its ordeal by spin, top-ranked Australia still has a dangerous top order.
