One day combination would have made a difference. Strike bowler like Lasith Malnga and aggressive middle order batsmen like Chamara Kapugethera would have changed the scenario. We were playing 50 over game rather than test cricket. Anyway the run rate is all right. If we were on the top of the group next stage would have been much easier. Wish them all the best in next game.

Although I support Sri Lanka. My bets are with Pakistan.

Reasons For:
Conditions similar to their home conditions.
Not under pressure.
Battered and battled hardened community that truly deserve something to celebrate.
Talented and gutty cricketers under the leadership of Afridi (Not Gaddaphi)

Reasons Against:
Bookies may play a big role!!!

SL has no plan from selectors to the coaches and players

They hadn't done a good analyze about the pitch. It was a good pitch and even wasn't difficult to bat second.
SL played with extra batsmen (problem is we can't say they are batsmen even selectors think they are batmen) on a super bating pitch.
SL middle order never learn to take singles when they new to the wickets.
They has to go with a extra batsmen instead of using Tissara as an all rounder. I prefer to see 3 spinners in upcoming matches in Colombo

This is my team and this is my batting order for the rest of the matches. what do you think

Tharanga
Dilshan
Sangakkara
Mathews ( he is responsible and intelligent to play at this position)
Mahela
Kandamby ( he is not in the 15 due to poor fielding performance. Does team desperately need a good middle order batsmen or a fielder at this position)
Kula
Randeev (He is tall,has a good variation and difficult to hit against him)
Malinga
Murali
Dilhara/Mendis/Herath depending on the pitch

I would leave out Kandamby. He is not a clean hitter. Looks edgy from the time he comes to the wicket. Almost all the matches i've seen him play, he played on because opposition gave him chances. And being a big guy, he couldnt hit a six to save his life.

I would also not pick Mendis. His days are gone. Even Canada played him quite well. He may be effective in 20/20. He is also not a good fielder.

And I will not choose Dilhara as well. Despite his experience, his constant no balls still keep coming. He is all over the pitch. No discipline in line and length.

Instead I would pick Herath and Randiv. Both have performed well in the recent times.

Mathews should come 4 down. Samaraweera still earns the place in my team. He can stabilize a collapse in the top order, though he failed yesterday.

Kapugedara is a hitter, unlike Silva but Silva is more mature. He really needs to get out of his test match game though

Agreed. Nobody ever thought Pakistan to be favorites. But they are silent assasins. Who thought they were going to win the T20 international world cup against SL after having got defeated by SL itself in the 1st round.

Problem I saw with Thilan is he can't score singles even he is good in defense.
Chamara silva, he can't play straight shots for fast bowlers. Very funny a batmen playing for SL who can't play straight shots
Kapu : 3,4 years before I thought he will play a big role. But Selectors #####
Kapu has to be included in Test matches. He will fix his technical weakness if he given a chance in Test matches

optimistic wrote:Hotels, yes. Dialog, not a great possibility. Dialog has been stagnant in this price range for as long as I could remember. I cant understand why this is not moving. Also people would not purchase a dialog tv connection just to watch the world cup matches because it is telecasted on eye channel as well. Installation fee itself is some Rs. 9000.

Yes we need to select a one day team rather than a test squad. He always comes to the crease in last few overs that is the reason why he has so many unbeaten fifties. He never get enough overs to score a century. His role is to increase the run rate never given a chance to build up an innings. Bowlers also, SL one day squad need strike bowlers who take few crucial wickets under difficult conditions.
