WATCH, SL vs AUS | Do-it-all Head amuses Galle with too hot to handle celebration after scalping Kamindu

Sri Lanka spurned a good start in the second Test against Australia at Galle to find themselves reeling at 150/6 after winning the toss and opting to bat first. A 70-run second wicket stand between Dinesh Chandimal and the retiring Dimuth Karunaratne meant the side was cruising along early on on the dusty surface but the departure of the latter and Angelo Mathews in quick succession reined momentum back in the visitors' favour. However, at 126/3, the encounter looked well poised with the incumbent batters crucial in deciding the fate of the match and the golden arm of Travis Head took it upon itself to tilt the game firmly in Australia's favour.

Steve Smith brought Head into the attack in the 27th over and the part-time spinner was greeted with a boundary each from Chandimal and Kamindu Mendis, the latters off a top edge when trying to sweep the penultimate ball. Head responded by pulling his trajectory a bit shorter to good length, angled around the fourth turn with decent amounts of sidespin. Mendis, caught in two minds how to fend off the red leather hurling towards him, ended up poking at the ball off the back-foot with no conviction. A huge thick edge followed and Smith swallowed it at slip without much ado to dispatch the youngster.

Head was unsuprisingly ecstatic at having furthered his reputation for manufacturing key wickets out of thin air and held onto his right elbow with his other hand before shaking his right forearm and fingers vigorously as if they were on fire. Having scored a quickfire 50 last game after a brilliant series against India, it was an appropriate celebration for the man from South Australia who can do little wrong at the moment.
