Jayawardene,  the former captain, is hopeful of success in the three ODIs next month  as the hosts deal with a busy schedule that includes preparing for the  Ashes.    "We've improved quite a bit in the last couple of years and our away  form is pretty good, that's something we've always been trying to  improve," Jayawardene said in Brisbane. "It's a great opportunity for  us.   "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."   While Sri Lanka warm-up for the main games, which start with a Twenty20  international in Perth on October 31, their opponents are still in India  finishing off a 50-over series. Kumar Sangakkara's men play Queensland  at the Gabba today before facing New South Wales on Sunday and  Wednesday.    Australia have never lost a series in their backyard to Sri Lanka in <a href="http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/team/2.html?class=1;filter=advanced;home_or_away=1;opposition=8;orderby=won;template=results;type=team;view=series" target="_blank">Tests</a> or <a href="http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/team/2.html?class=2;filter=advanced;home_or_away=1;opposition=8;orderby=won;template=results;type=team;view=series" target="_blank">ODIs</a> since their opening encounter in 1984-85.</blockquote>
