Jayawardene chickened out of the contest today IMO, sending himself down to no.4 was a negative move. There was on way Sri lankans should have had three left-handed batsmen in row in their batting order.


Having a right-handed and left-handed combination going always is better thing to do, atleast thats what i feel.

First things first Bradshaw needs to get his name and number at the back of his uniform fixed as soon a possible.

If Smith is playing today then who have the Windies dropped to make room for Bradshaw.

Taylor obviously comes in for Simmons.

Chickened out by batting at 4? Whatever.

And there's no steadfast rule on having lefties and righties in together.

Jeez... big mix-up there between Jayasuriya and Jayawardene, somebody tell Jayawardene that Sanath is no spring chicken he is 38 so he can't run like mad anymore now.

Vic all i am saying mate is that Jayawardene being the captain of the side and their normal no.3, he should gone out their at his normal position and should have taken the bull by its horns.


Its no rule to have lefties or righties together, but when there is a leftie and rightie together at the crease it certainly makes it difficult for the bowler to get into a consistent line and length for both batsmen.

That throw struck Jayawardene's bat and went to the boundary for
4 overthrows, now how have umpires ruled that overthrow in favour of the batting team.

WI needs to get one more wicket now...they need to keep sri lanka around 150 but then still you never know what malinga's going to do....better crowd today huh? may be they gave a sale or something...they should have when they saw the dire crowds in the group stage...

Jayasuriya at his brutal best and if the Windies don't get his wicket soon 300 would be on the cards.

300+ total really is very much on the cards now for Sri lanka, anything less than that lankans should feel disappointed.
