Fittingly, the step towards solving this mystery will be played in Colombo.
Although there is no questioning of suspects (Don Argus, would be a big Columbo), evidence on the state of the national cricket side will be exposed for all to assess.
How Michael Clarke side handles the pressure of the closing of the series will offer a glimpse of the future.
With a port number is a future good performance, mental strength, victories test, sunshine and lollipops, which ultimately leads to the fans forget the 2010-11 Australian cricket ashes like that once embarrassing drunk at work Christmas party.
Number two doors is the gateway to hell - in all its glory Argus report.
Given your test results over the past two years, at the beginning of Australia, the series would love to take one all the results in the series (which would not admit it, the hope is flame for cowards).
However, after Sri Lanka overcome completely in the first two tests that will surely be offended if it were to go home with something more than a victory in the series.
With the series to date have shown tremendous patience and skill Australian batsmen, players hunted as a pack, captain Michael Clarke was refreshing and offensive, and its operation was first class for the first time in several years.
After winning the first test, in the second test of the performance of incisive bowling team Kandy in the first innings with a superb location between Mike Hussey and Shaun Marsh put Australia in a winning position.
Unfortunately, the combination of tropical climate of Sri Lanka's batsmen finally found that when they are dressed in white who do not play Twenty20 plotted against the Australians. The match ended in most English results - a rain affected draw.
Of course the least desirable outcome, there have been several performances of note in Australia.
Among them, Mike Hussey is in the process of making everyone think it could be a robot how to continue to produce tracks. In addition, tons of excellent debut Shaun Marsh will silence the skeptics (including me) believe that temperament is not the longer form of the game.
Interestingly, the dam of 141 entries which means that after only one test has a test score greater than his father did in 50 tests.Best frame ever was 138 Geoff.
No doubt Shaun will always remember that Geoff. In fact, the epitaph of Geoff probably say, "Here to Geoff Marsh. Not as good as his son. "
With the series moving to Colombo for the third test, we note that Sri Lanka has an impressive history of recent the largest city in the country.
Sri Lanka have not lost a Test match at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) of land, since it was last played there in Australia in March 2004. They have since won six of the 10 played on the floor. Three of their last four victories on the field were in turn (South Africa, Bangladesh and India).
There is a record relating to land as a force to Lanka, especially in its current form, Butiti certainly indicates it will not be easy prey.
Historically, the first in the match field in Colombo is flatter than the Prince Will Smith aircraft carriers of Bel Air. There were several dozen 600 + first innings.
Tillakaratne Dilshan with the side have rediscovered their mojo in the second innings batting in Kandy, Sri Lanka, the captain will have to wait to hit first and let their talented batting line go to work.
Later, the general tone begins to turn around corners and the spinners played their part in the results. And while the man was the main Murali Sri Lanka for many of these victories, he was not just him. Be sure if they can get batters Australia, the fifth day.
Australia has two selection dilemmas.
Michael Clarke has used the power of numbers to realize that four in three steps. The first blood in the hands of Clarke in his life as a selector will be Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Usman Khawaja and Phil Hughes.
Ponting looks set to come straight back after he returned to attend the birth of his son and the marsh certainly can not be removed after a hundred in its infancy.
Hughes is the man may be lost. For your sake, I hope you have the good sense not to announce it on Twitter before the selectors are able, as in the ashes of 2009.
In the bowling department, Ryan Harris looks set to lose thigh with a slightly torn. Quick Queensland must have broken a mirror or two (or three, or four) in the last seven years, given his run with injuries.
That or he could have the body of a 80 year old woman with a degenerative bone disease. In any case, it playing cricket all the time.
Peter Siddle in the box to replace Harris with his experience at test.
The weather could play a new role with the possibility of thunderstorms expected in the first three days. An "English" result is on the cards again.
Although I'm sure Australia will want to win the game, I do not think will be particularly disappointed if a tie is also filtered.
I think Australia deserves to win the series. Over the next five days, we'll see if they think they do too.
