Australians have a bit of a condition where "if you don't do it here then we don't rate it" which is a very narrow view of cricket, or sport broadly and beyond.

I think the win in Sydney for us was actually huge in respect to the WTC as needing to go to Sri Lanka and ensure a result would not have been an easy task. In the last 5 tests Australia have played in Sri Lanka it's a comfortable 5-1 to Sri Lanka, including a 3-0 whitewash series.

The problem Sri Lanka have is they aren't great tourists. I think given their conditions are just so different from everywhere it's hard for them to adapt, but at home they're every chance of knocking us off 2-0. I think this is a hot series so I really hope Fox pick it up.
