At 5 for 43 at lunch in their fight to save the Test, the writing was on the wall for the Irish. The end was inevitable inside three days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">They did better to make 168 all out handing the hosts a flattering innings win.

How much knowledge they have gained from the initial experience will be key to their counter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">With three days left to play, Sri Lanka needed to focus on finishing the job quickly and effectively. They did this with aplomb reigniting hope for the future for a team desperately looking for a winning culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">While Malan scratches his head for answers,\u00a0 his nemesis Chris Silverwood will be breathing a sigh of relief at a reversal of fortunes after a disastrous New Zealand experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Onwards and upwards will be Sri Lanka&#8217;s dream.
