Australias mystified captain Steven Smith apologised to travelling supporters for having to witness an ugly 3-0 defeat, before saying the touring batsmen and spin bowlers had a lot of thinking to do about their cricket in Asian conditions ahead of next years trip to India.The visiting batsmen fell in an unruly heap on the final day of the series after reaching a platform of 100 for 1, mirroring their first innings slide from 267 for 1 to 379 all out. Smith, who was out when trying to cut Rangana Herath off the stumps for the second time in the series, said recurring problems for the batsmen and the spinners Nathan Lyon and Jon Holland were the major problems to arise from a contest in which the pacemen Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood had done well.Its a hard one to grasp really, its been a very tough series again, that is our third straight whitewash loss in the subcontinent, Smith said. What we are doing isnt working. Batters arent adapting to the conditions, spin bowlers arent adapting to the conditions. I cant fault our quicks, I thought they did a great job, particularly Starc, but our batters and spinners are the ones who have to step up in these conditions and we havent been able to do that.We have been outplayed in every facet of the game, our plans havent worked as individuals or as a collective group, we havent been able to put Sri Lanka under as much pressure as we would have liked.Smith explained the selection of the allrounder Moises Henriques who was out twice cheaply and bowled only two overs in the defeat having come into the side in place of Usman Khawaja. He was picked pretty much as a batsman, he said. He can obviously bowl a little bit. Mitch Marsh is the allrounder in the team.In these conditions, it is the spinners job to get the majority of the wickets as the Sri Lankan spinners did, we just havent been able to do that. The selectors are there to do the job and I back whatever they go with. Were here to do a job and in this series and we havent been able to do that.Reflecting on where the series was won and lost, Smith harked back to the first innings of the first Test at Pallekele, when Australia bowled Sri Lanka out for 117 but then failed to capitalise in being rolled over for just 203 in response. Sri Lanka were then granted a lead through the brilliance of Kusal Mendis, and never again surrendered the initiative.That was a great opportunity for us, Smith said. I thought we did particularly well that first day to bowl them out for 117, and then a lead of 86 in that first innings wasnt good enough. We had another chance to go really big and put the Sri Lankan batters under a bit of pressure and we werent able to do that. Since then we havent really fought our way back. Its been difficult, weve batted second in every game weve played, and youre always behind the game knowing you have to bat last in these conditions. That first innings of the series did hurt us.Australia have committed enormous resources to trying to educate players in Asian conditions, whether sending Australia A and the National Performance Squad to India or installing a spin wicket at the National Cricket Centre. But Smith said that the surface was only a rough approximation of what his men had faced in Sri Lanka.Id love the wickets to be as they were back in the old days when the SCG broke up and reverse swung and spun late in the game, Adelaide the same, Smith said. Its harder with Adelaide now as a drop-in wicket to get that same surface up. Even when the wickets are turning back home theyre different to the subcontinent wickets.Theyve always got a little bit more bounce than the wickets over here. Its hard to replicate anything you get in the subcontinent back home. Weve got the spinning wicket at the NCC, Ive had a bat on that and it spins, but theres probably too much bounce for what you get in the subcontinent. So its hard to replicate what youre going to get but Id like as much as we can to get the Shield wickets back to the old days as such.

Surrey 299 for 7 (Roy 120, Onions 4-68) trail Durham 401 (Jennings 201*, Footitt 5-90) by 102 runsScorecard A plucky century by Jason Roy helped Surrey to 299 for 7 in reply to Durhams 401 in the Specsavers County Championship match at Chester-le-Street.In spending 103 balls over his first 50, the England one-day batsman either missed it or middled it. But his second 50 required only 41 balls, with most of his last 20 runs being easy pickings off future team-mate Scott Borthwick.He sat back to clobber a short ball from the legspinner between mid-off and extra cover to reach three figures with his 14th four.But after sharing a third-wicket stand of 164 with Zafar Ansari four wickets went down for 24 runs.Ansari went for a very solid 48 when he edged a drive at Keaton Jennings to slip, then Mark Wood struck with his second delivery with the new ball and Graham Onions with his first.Ben Foakes was lbw when he walked across, looking to turn Wood to leg, and Roy went for 120 when Onions skidded one through to knock him off his feet and claim another lbw verdict.Onions produced another beauty four overs later to claim his fourth wicket, beating Tom Currans forward push to trim his off bail.Durham were twice convinced they had Roy caught behind, but his edges tended to be of the thicker variety, one flying wide of gully when looking to turn the impressive Brydon Carse to leg.He hit Paul Colliingwoods first ball just out of short extra covers reach, and on 42 Onions had him in all kinds of trouble.ddddddddddddA ball which Roy played into the ground lobbed up and dropped just over the stumps, then he was beaten twice in the same over.Onions also took two wickets in four balls shortly after lunch. He beat Dominic Sibleys forward push on 31 to nick the off stump then nipped one back to have Kumar Sangakkara lbw for 48. In the morning Jennings was left stranded on 201, becoming the seventh player to carry his bat through a Durham innings.Although the fifth batting point was achieved when last man Onions scored the days first seven runs, he then drove a catch to cover to give Mark Footitt his fifth wicket.The only Surrey batsman to fall before lunch was Rory Burns, who was given an uncomfortable time by Wood and fell for 15 when an in-swinger took the inside edge o
