Mahela Jayewardene aims to end winning drought in Australia
Sri Lanka has never beaten Australia in a bilateral series Down Under in both Test matches and One-day internationals.
Mahela Jayewardene believes that this is golden opportunity for Sri Lanka to end the victory drought in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 by winning the upcoming ODI series.
Mahela, the middle order batsman keeps his hope very much alive of winning a series in Australia for the first time. He also suggested that Australia is up for a hectic schedule as they will be preparing for the upcoming Ashes series.
Jayewardene also added "It's going to be a bit tough for Australia, with a bit of a hectic schedule. Some of them will be fresh and some of them won't be fresh but Australia is Australia".
Sri Lanka has improved their ratio of winning away from home in the last couple of years or so. They have beaten the likes of England, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in away Tests and Limited overs game. Adding to this, with Australia slightly on the demise,
this is a great opportunity for the Sri Lankans to make history.
Kumar Sangakkara’s men will be eyeing the opportunity for their first ever series win in Australia that kick starts in next month on November 3.
Furthermore, the Lankans are warming-up for the international games as they take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823, before they
head to Perth for the top level challenge against Australia.
However, Australia has been unbeaten in the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at home, since their inaugural battle in 1984/85.
They might end up planting their flag in the land of Baggy greens.
