Australia start favorites against Sri Lanka at Perth today

Michael Clarke is on a high – team performing well and he can afford to experiment with his batting or bowling order.   Sri Lanka on the other hand are riddled with on the field and off-field occurrences.  Mahela Jayawardene is back as captain in trying circumstances as the mantle has passed on from person and Dilshan having relinquished it.  Knowing Lankans they might even try to take the battle to the opponents at Perth enraging bull and trying to capture it by its horns.  Dilshan is a keeper batsman, there is already the wily Sangakkara now a fortune of sorts problem is Dinesh Chandimal, a fine wicket keeper batsman.  If they can see the back of the dangerous Warner and play a good match, perhaps they could see their first win in the tournament.
