FOUND: So far so good for kuhnemann s injured thumb - What They Never Told You

In only two-and-a-half weeks, Matthew Kuhnemann has gone from being under an injury cloud to being under the spotlight as the Australian bowling attack's chief destroyer.

Kuhnemann (5-63) took a second Test 'five-fer' in Australia's first innings against Sri Lanka in Galle, showing no signs of the dislocated thumb he suffered playing Big Bash League in mid-January.

He backed the effort up with 4-86 in Sri Lanka's second innings as Australia rolled the hosts twice on Saturday's fourth day - for 165, then 247 - to seal victory by an innings and 242 runs.
