Australian legend Allan Border thinks Sam Konstas was hard done by in getting dropped for the first Test in Galle even though the decision to hand a debut to Josh Inglis paid handsome dividends.

Young Australian cricketer Sam Konstas has been sidelined from the opening Test against Sri Lanka due to a stomach bug. The illness has kept him holed up in the team hotel for the last two days.

The one in Galle was Australia's highest team total on Asian soil. As mentioned, the visitors declared at 645/6d on Day 2.
