Australians 474 (OKeefe 78, Burns 72, Smith 57, Jayasuriya 5-110) beat Sri Lankan XI 229 (Gunaratne 58, Siriwardana 53, OKeefe 5-43) and 83 (OKeefe 5-21) by an innings and 162 runs Scorecard Australias spinners will move into the Test series well-heeled and confident, after setting in motion a dramatic collapse that yielded seven wickets for 33 runs on the third and final day of their tour fixture, at the P Sara Oval. On a surface that had begun to take fast turn, Steve OKeefe collected his second five-wicket haul of the match, in only 6.5 overs. At the other end, Nathan Lyon tuned up with 2 for 14 from five overs; Sri Lankan XI were dismissed for 83 as Australians completed an innings-and-162-run victory.Well definitely take a lot of confidence out of the victory, Lyon said after the match. Steve Smith came in today and said: Lets really make a statement. Taking nine wickets in a session to close out a first-class win is a pretty big statement.Having become Australias highest scorer as well, in a morning session in which he shared a 58-run stand for the tenth wicket with Jackson Bird, OKeefe was especially effective against the right-handers in the Sri Lankan side. He pitched on middle and leg, then spun the ball past the defence of Asela Gunaratne to rattle off stump and claim his first wicket. Later in that over, Shehan Jayasuriya was out sweeping to Bird at deep square leg.Dasun Shanaka was caught behind off OKeefe and the tailenders fell lbw or bowled to his straighter, quicker deliveries. In addition to the 78 not out with the bat, OKeefe collected match figures of 10 for 64, raising Australias likelihood of fielding a dual-spin attack for the first Test.Lyon was more subdued in the match, and had actually been expensive on the first day, when he was reported to have fallen ill. Despite his figures, he said he was bowling well, and felt well-prepared for his second Test tour of Sri Lanka, which he begins now as a senior player.Im the only one to have played Test-match cricket over here out of the bowlers, Lyon said. It was good for all our bowlers to get out here and adapt to conditions. A lot of us are coming off white-ball cricket. Its good to spend some time out there and get some long overs under our belt. Ive felt Ive grown a lot on and off the field since that 2011 tour to Sri Lanka. Im looking forward to the challenge.The Sri Lankan XI will be disappointed at the abject collapse, and Milinda Siriwardana will perhaps reflect most on the missed opportunity. He was caught for 2 off Lyon, but will have wanted at least a half-century to firm up a place in the Sri Lanka Test squad. Shanaka has not made a strong case for inclusion either, collecting middling returns with both bat and ball.Before the slow bowlers closed out the match, Mitchell Starc had taken two early wickets with full deliveries. He bowled wicketkeeper-batsman Manoj Sarathchandra, and had Oshada Fernando caught at slip.Madawa Warnapura did not bat for the Sri Lankan XI, having sustained an injury to his hand while fielding on the previous day.

Standing, kneeling or gesturing in support of Colin Kaepernicks national anthem protests has come at a cost for the dozen NFL players who have joined the cause against social injustices. Theyve faced vitriolic, sometimes racist reactions, forfeited some of their fan base, and at least one has lost endorsements.None is deterred by the backlash.No, its worth it, said Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, insisting that while hes disheartened by evaporating endorsements , Twitter trolls and the burning of a T-shirt in front of team headquarters this week, hes also undaunted.Its an evil world. Its a hateful world. Im not here to spread hate. Im not here to respond to the hate. Im here to spread love and positivity, Marshall said. Im a likable guy. I was once a fan favorite for a reason. Its cool, because people can call me n-word or cuss at me or say they wish I would break my neck all they want. Theres no backlash from me. Hate cant drive out hate. Only love can drive out hate.Detractors accuse protesting players of being unpatriotic or disrespecting the American flag. Marshall said hes also gotten lots of love from military veterans saying they fought for his right to peacefully protest as much as they did for those who stand and salute the Stars and Stripes.Marshall played at Nevada with Kaepernick , who began this movement last month by refusing to stand for the anthem during San Franciscos preseason games as a protest to racial oppression and police brutality in the United States.While Kaepernick saw sales of his jersey skyrocket, Marshall has faced financial repercussions for taking a knee during the national anthem on opening night.Marshall lost endorsements from the Air Academy Federal Credit Union and CenturyLink before music mogul Russell Simmons offered him a deal with Rushcard this week.So, I lost two endorsements and gained one, said Marshall, insisting it was better to have a single company standing behind him than two so quick to bail.When you really think about it, I didnt breach my contract. I didnt get arrested. I didnt do anything to defame the team or CenturyLink or Air Academy. I just exercised my first amendment rights, Marshall said. And they dropped me for that. Im proud of what I did because I didnt do anything wrong or hurtful by any stretch.Thats not what many critics are telling him and others who have joined Kaepernick.Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane and 49ers safety Eric Reid took a knee in support of Kaepernick in the preseason.

Defensive end Robert Quinn and receiver Kenny Britt of the Rams also stood with their fists in the air Monday night.We waited until after the national anthem, explained Bennett, who was born on a Navy base in San Diego. I support the flag. I love America. I dont want to live anywhere else. But theres still some (messed up things) going on around the world.He said he wasnt worried about any consequences, financial or otherwise.What you can do for humanity and society is a lot bigger than a dollar you can get, Bennett said. It shows you how big it is that guys are willing to lose their endorsement to bring attention.Foster said the NFL players are the latest conduit for a message thats been out there for decades.Its more important to create a healthy dialogue, Foster said. Its easy for you to sit here and say `Shut up you stupid n------ instead of saying `Why do you feel like that? Its just so easy to hate. If you really proclaim to be a true American, freedom runs in our bloodline, right? Its supposed to. If somebodys telling you they dont feel like theyre free, why dont you listen to them?President Barack Obama has who said its a constitutional right to protest peacefully. But the players have been targeted on Twitter, insulted on Instagram, and ridiculed in public.Marshalls lost deals are the only known endorsements pulled over the protests.I dont have a lot of endorsements ... so Im not really worried about losing endorsements, said Tennessees McCourty, who has a deal along with his twin brother to promote Palmers Cocoa Butter.Marshall, who has pledged to donate to military charities, met with Denver police chief Robert White this week. Marshall accepted his invitation to participate in a shoot-or-dont-shoot training simulator and to go on a ride-along with police officers.Kneeling really was just to bring attention to the issues, an awareness factor -- a symbol -- so to speak, said Marshall. Just like the flag is a symbol.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Pro Football Writer Teresa Walker and AP Sports Writers Josh Dubow, Greg Beacham, Tim Booth, Kyle Hightower, Dave Skretta and Tim Reynolds contributed.
