Australia skipper Tim Paine warned Thursday there was no room for complacency after sticking with the same side for the second Test against Sri Lanka as the one that thrashed them in Brisbane.
The home team routed the visitors by an innings and 40 runs under lights at the Gabba and Paine pointed to their recent experience against India, where Australia won a Test in Perth only to be comprehensively beaten in Melbourne.
"We touched on how we had a great win in Perth against India. I thought we turned up pretty poorly and really flat in Melbourne and started that Test match pretty ordinarily," Paine said.
"And then you get a good side like India in front of you and we couldn't reel them back in.
"It's just been making sure our attitude to this Test is spot on and we're leaving nothing to chance."
"Coming off a good win we are happy with our combination."
- Scoring hundreds -
====================
"We think he is still our best new-ball bowler when he gets it right so we'll always give him the first few."
"It would be great to see one of the guys, or six of our guys, score a hundred. They're all working hard towards that."
