Australia have not been able to cash in on their Cooper Connolly gamble in the 21-year-old's first Test knock against Sri Lanka.
With only four first-class matches to his name, the batting allrounder was handed a whirlwind Test debut this week for the second and final match of the series.
Connolly had been brought in at the expense of frontline spinner Todd Murphy to boost Australia's batting firepower on a pitch predicted to play plenty of tricks.
