Lanka is the luckiest team to get England,NZ in knock out stages.today their lower middle order was exposed, and if Australia would have been in place of NZ,SL would have knocked out.
However,SL is the most consistent team with easily the best team in the tournament so far in terms of versatility .But they still are not tested so far in this WC by best teams.
SL have very gud chance to become 2nd time World champions,if Ind or Pak enters finals,and team batting first agnst lankans should put 260 on mumbai pitch to secure win.as lankans are not gud in chasing especially the lower middle order and hope if india reaches finals they will be very very hard to beat in mumbai pitch since their bowling will come gud in those conditions.
...whether India or Pakistan-please thrash this SRI lANKA BY AT LEAST A MARGIN OF 400 runs. Every Time India-Pak clash in knockout, this Sri Lanka is there around to reap the benefits. The loser between India /Pak loses of course. The winner is to exhausted to put up any fight against the wretched Sri Lanka which always comes into the next round fresh after an easy earlier round. This is what happened in 1996 world cup.
Wnakhede is perhaps the only ground left in India that poses any challenge to the batsman. Rest of our venues have dead pitches. SL will be a formidable opponent but our immense batting depth will ensure that Dhoni will lift the cup.
Srilanka is the luckies team to have got to play england in qf and kiwis in semis... India is unluckiest to hv got aus and pak in qf and semis... Waiting for tomm's match
