It’s 34 for 3 wickets (at the time of writing) and the Sri Lankans are struggling and struggling badly.
The encounters with the Aussies have always been tough yet no other match against any other opposition is as enthralling as with the Aussies. Tough games should be fought with the optimum power that can be used. In that sense, has
Yes, I’m talking about leaving Vaas and Murali out of today’s game. The experts see it as a meticulously crafted trick by the selectors, but to my little cricketing knowledge it’s a big mistake.
How stupid is to leave Vaas and Murali, Sri Lanka’s two prime time bowlers, in a match against the world champions? Resting: what’s that? If they want to rest them let them do it in the next game with the
Imagine what a win against the Aussies today can do to the spirit of the team? A win against the world champions before going into the semi finals would be a huge boost for the overall team.

Is it arrogance (or stupidity) that put us in a spot of bother today?

I think today was a tactical match. After we won the NZ match we were qualified for the semi's. As we all know injury is possible during these high profiled matches. therefore i think Murali and Vass were called out at the last minute. I'm sure Malinga, Murali and Vass will be there for the semi match. On the other hand SL cricket analysts must have been monitoring the Aussies responses during the match so we can be better prepared for the final if we are through. Overall result for me is that it is a rehearsal
Yes....WISL you're right. The Aussies have the satisfaction of a completely valueless win. They got no batting practice against three of the top bowlers in the world. And they're in an almighty huff that we rested good players against them. Who is laughing in their dressing rooms...certainly not the Aussies. Think out of the box mate...
