Patience may be a key virtue for Australias Test batsmen in Sri Lanka, according to Joe Burns, who hit 72 in the ongoing practice match at the P Sara Oval. Burns half-century was one of three in Australias solid 431 for 9. The visitors scored at 3.53 runs an over against a modest Sri Lankan XI attack, but Burns suggested Australia should become accustomed to a slow run rate, given the nature of the surfaces they are likely to encounter on tour.Weve talked as a batting group about needing to be patient for long periods on the subcontinent, Burns said. If they bowl good areas, its tough work and slow going. You have to be committed to trying to bat all day. I guess thats one disappointing thing to come out of the day - all our batsmen spent some time at the crease but no one went on to get a big score.When bowlers are bowling straight, with straight fields, you hit the fielders a lot. You go long periods where youre not scoring quickly, and then you might get a few boundaries away in a cluster. Thats generally how scoring goes on low, slow wickets with reverse swing and spin bowling. You just have to ride the waves and wait for the sets to come in.Burns was tested by both seam and spin during his stay. He and Shaun Marsh made a quick start against the new ball in the third session of the first day, but were more measured as the innings wore on - particularly to left-arm seamer Vimukthi Perera and the spin bowlers. Burns was eventually dismissed by Perera, who angled a ball in through his defences early on day two.You just have to be prepared to buckle in and try and go with the conditions, Burns said. Theres nothing too much you can do about it as a batter. As a batting group were prepared for those long battles. Hopefully we can bat for extended periods of time going into the Test series.The Australian batsmen largely scored their runs square of the pitch with a few venturing slog sweeps to push the spinners off their lengths. Burns suggested this could be a trend through the Test series.I guess here - with the lower, slower wickets - you hit more balls than perhaps you would in Australia, especially because bowlers bowl straighter as well. I guess you want to be hitting straight, but that seems to be where the fielders are. Generally you probably pick up your runs quite square, even though youre trying to hit straight. There are also periods when its reversing quite a lot, and then it will die down.The Australians are 202 runs ahead with one wicket in hand, at stumps on day two of the three-day encounter.

Maro Itojes openside credentials have received a strong endorsement on the day Englands options in the position appear to have dwindled.The possibility of Itoje and Chris Robshaw packing down either side of Billy Vunipola for the visit of South Africa next month, thereby retaining the back row that finished the third Test against Australia in June, has been raised by Eddie Jones.Englands alternatives are the uncapped Sam Jones and Mike Williams, but the former could soon be ruled out of contention after leaving the squads training camp in Brighton on Tuesday with an ankle injury.Jones has returned to Wasps where the extent of the damage will be assessed, but director of rugby Dai Young is braced for the worst after reflecting on a nasty injury that is not sounding great at the moment.Moving Itoje from lock to seven appears the most likely solution to the puzzle of how to replace James Haskell, who will miss all four autumn Tests because of foot surgery, and it is a move that has the backing of George Kruis.Kruis has played in the second row alongside Itoje throughout the 21-year-olds brief Saracens and England careers and has seen enough to believe he would make a success of the positional switch. Maro has got the work rate and hes very physical. Theres not much he doesnt have to be honest. If he wanted to play ffly-half he probably could, Kruis said.ddddddddddddes a very talented player and if it benefits the team to have him there, then thats the right position for him.At Saracens hes played six a few times. Eddie obviously has a plan of what he wants and if its right for the team, that will be the case.Jones is seeking a like for like replacement for Haskell after abandoning his search for an openside in the traditional mould.At seven were looking for a destructive defensive player, not your traditional seven player because at the moment we dont have that in England, Jones said on Friday.We went down the route of trying to find that but it wasnt successful, so were looking for a more of a destructive player like a Haskell. So Sam Jones and Mike Williams also come into that category.Williams first training session with Englands senior squad made an impression on forwards coach Steve Borthwick.We did a skills practice first thing in the morning and then a tackle practice. We were just starting slowly and looking at the technical aspects, but Mike was like bang!, Borthwick said. He was knocking everything over straight away. He knows one way and thats 100 percent. Thats great, thats terrific. ' ' '
