Australia are not yet a great team but completing a series sweep in Sri Lanka would push them closer, according to spin bowler Nathan Lyon. Australia won the first test by an innings and 242 runs in Galle and will look to wrap up the series 2-0 with another win at the same venue when the second test starts on Thursday.

Australia are coming off a really strong Test match series victory over India, so they'll be confident of keeping the good times going in Sri Lanka. Of course, playing away from home is always a challenge.

Nathan Lyon says Australia is using their 2022 Test loss to Sri Lanka as motivation this time around.
