PALLEKELE: Australia will be looking to local legend and onetime bogeyman Muttiah Muralithar­an to inspire them to success on his home patch as the world’s number one Test team begin a three-match series in Sri Lanka this week. Steve Smith’s side will be desperate to reverse a poor recent away record against teams from the subcontine­nt when play begins in Pallekele on Tuesday, as India breathe down their necks in the race for Test supremacy.
