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.

SEATTLE -- One after another, key players for Philadelphia and Seattle hobbled to the sideline on Sunday with injuries that could impact the teams beyond the Seahawks 26-15 victory over the Eagles.Earl Thomas, C.J. Prosise, Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles all could be out for multiple weeks after getting hurt in a punishing contest.Seattle got its third straight win to move three games ahead in the NFC West race, but it came at a cost.Prosise will miss significant time with a scapula issue, according to Seattle coach Pete Carroll.There is a chance he comes back this year, yes, Carroll said. Well have to figure that out. Its going to be a while, though.The injury came just as Prosise was establishing himself as a threat in Seattles backfield. After fueling a surprising win over New England last week, Prosise ripped off a 72-yard touchdown run in the first quarter on Sunday.Then he got hurt just before halftime.And Prosise might not even be Seattles biggest injury.Thomas grabbed at his left hamstring while running downfield in coverage in the third quarter on a deep throw that Richard Sherman intercepted. Thomas was examined on the sideline for a short time and eventually went to the locker room. Carroll did not have an idea yet on how long the free safety may be out, but once Thomas left, Philadelphia was able to find gaps in the secondary that werent available earlier in the game.I was very confused man, just looking out there and used to seeing your normal guys out there and just having different faces out there, linebacker K.J. Wright said. Hopefully, we get those guys back, but it just shows those guys got to be ready each and every week because you never know when your name is going to be called, and so well be fine.Seattles two big losses were countered by a pair of siignificant blows to Philadelphias backfield.dddddddddddd Mathews injured his knee and Sproles hurt his ribs, both in the second quarter. Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson said he would not have an update on their conditions until the team returned home, but the injuries left the Eagles relying on Kenjon Barner and, specifically, rookie Wendell Smallwood in the backfield. Smallwood had 13 carries for 48 yards and caught another four passes for 31 yards.It was tough. I think Sproles creates mismatches in the passing game. Ryan Mathews, obviously hes been running great the past few weeks and today he started off really strong, Philadelphia rookie quarterback Carson Wentz said. Wendell and Kenjon, we have a lot of confidence in; I think thats a position we have a lot of depth at. I think those guys stepped up big.In total, 17 players left the game for at least one play due to injury. For Seattle, that included strong safety Kam Chancellor, left tackle George Fant and linebacker Brock Coyle, all of whom returned. Starting cornerback DeShawn Shead felt something in his hamstring during Saturdays walkthrough and could not get loose on Sunday, playing just sparingly in the first half. His replacement, Neiko Thorpe, had to leave in the fourth quarter due to cramps.In addition to Mathews and Sproles, Philadelphia lost right tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai to a leg injury in the fourth quarter. Defensive linemen Fletcher Cox and Connor Barwin, left tackle Jason Peters and cornerback Leonis McKelvin also all left for a time with injuries. Cox, Barwin and Peters all returned.---NFL:For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL . ' ' '
