Twitterati brutally troll Australia after their loss in the third Test
Aug 17, 2016 at 3:25 PM
The Australian team failed to capitalize on a fine first innings batting performance and meekly surrendered the third Test against Sri Lanka to lose the series 3-0. After losing the first two Tests the team from down under showed remarkable improvement in their batting and after dismissing the hosts for 355 in the first innings took a lead of 24 runs by scoring 379 with the help of centuries from Shaun Marsh and Steve Smith. However, the Sri Lankan batsmen performed well in the second innings and set the Aussies a tough target of 324 runs. The visitors started well by scoring 77 runs for the first wicket. However the fall of second wicket opened the floodgates and the whole team was dismissed for only 160, handing Sri Lanka a victory of 163 runs.

As expected fans on Twitter trolled the Aussies. Here are some of the tweet:
