England are 4/1 to win on betfair.com atm. Sadly... its all over.
Batting is a little weak.i have to say this Sri lankan team can win the world cup. they are just soo good.
Nah. No way. Haven't got the batting to match Oz.i have to say this Sri lankan team can win the world cup. they are just soo good.
Because they played better cricket?!I don't think anyone will ever understand how Australia and New Zealand capitulated to England in the CB series.
Meh. It's still a NZ v Aus final for me.well Sangakara isn't playing good and he isn't in a good form other than that if they get a good start from upal thranga and jaysurya this team is formidable.
You realise that India and Pak are at home watching this on TV!?!I really hope SL go on to win this WC. Not that it will make tonight feel much better - our batting has been beyond abysmal, and sheer stupidity of some of our guys continues to beggar belief - but it would just bring some much needed interest to a horribly predictable tournament.
As for England, Fletcher's going to have to go some to justify this. Chances are we'll match our 1996 effort and fail to win a single game against non-minnows.

Not really. 3/5ths of it is, but Fernando as the 4th bowler couldn't in good conscience be called "top-class". Today's performance notwithstanding, obv.Sri Lanka's top five batting is very good. What they really really miss is a lower-middle order hitter.
Their bowling is top-class.
