My tip: 2-2

The clashes of the subcontinent countries are always good to watch so looking forward to it.
Given India's home advantage, SL will be lucky if we get 2-2 . I would be happy with 3-1 to India as long as SL batsmen show some form, and the squad is right with all selected for the World Cup getting into some form, and the Team shows spirit and fight and gives a good account in all the ODIs .
Despite your wishes, I will be surprised if Murali has a bad series, given he always enjoys bowling in India in ODIs.

Slightly amused at the SL selectors picking Arnold again.
But still no room for the 2 Nuwan's . Nuwan Zoysa and Nuwan Kulasekera .
Sri Lanka: Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Kumar Sangakkara (vice-capt, wk), Sanath Jayasuriya, Upul Tharanga, Marvan Atapattu, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Kapugedera, Chamara Silva, Chaminda Vaas, Lasith Malinga, Ruchira Perera, Malinga Bandara, Dilhara Fernando, Muttiah Muralitharan, Farveez Maharoof, Gayan Wijekoon, Russell Arnold, Malinda Warnapura, Upul Chandana, Avishka Gunawardene.

Avishka Gunawardene and Russel Arnold are both very strange selections, two experienced players who have never really done thast well for Sri Lanka but keep re-appearing. I have no idea why the Sri Lankan selectors would choose a 20 man squad for just the 4 ODI's, hopefully they cut it down to 16 or something.
I am hopeful that SL selectors will play Warnapura in one of the ODIs in India. But am not sure how he will fit into the SL world cup 15 . May be a little too late to trial someone before the World Cup.
Upul Chandana may be a reasonable consideration but am not sure if the SL World Cup 15 can accomodate both Chandana and Bandara.

Agree, he's a chucker and an awful bowler, can't get much worse than that.
Irfan Pathan maybe.

No, I'd go with Bandara as well. Where is Warnapura going to bat though? Jayasuriya and Tharanga are dead set for the World Cup, so presumably he can only play as a reserve top-order bat.

Jayasuriya and Tharanga are a really good opening partnership. Both play their shots, and can destroy bowling attacks.
bth can get out really quickly, too!
