We Should not worry about Sri lanka Team, because it got always many strong Team. Last time, it play against Indian team. It made a big record. So, Sri lanka team will be good team for this ICC Cricket World cup 2015.

Anderson's boundaries. The power and timing of some shots is remarkable.

Better than Dravid's son's debut

Gee that was a blinder from Mahela to get rid of KW.
Regarding today I was a little disappointed with the batting but heartened to see the bowling attack minus Malinga was able to make a game of it, if the batting comes good soon as I expect it to (Dilshan, Matthews and Sanga failing at the same time really hurts) then the team looks good, I think both Karunaratne and Jeevan Mendis need to be squeezed out of the final XL personally

Dimuth is the only other opener apart from Dilshan in the WC squad now, if he fails they'll be forced to drop him and replace him from within the squad, and Chandimal is the only batsman not in the XI currently, meaning I'd say Mahela will move up and Chandimal will move to 4 perhaps, bit of a travesty if Chandimal can't find a way into the final XI. I'm also at a bit of a loss to explain why Eranga is getting a game - he's not in the WC squad but Lakmal and Prasad are
One of the best I've ever seen. He had to see the doosra (or whatever you call it) early, predict Kane might nick it fine, then still be alert enough to see it and grasp it at pace. Just breathtaking.
What Howsie did get right is that Anderson has almost no peer when it comes to ball striking. Behind Gayle he's probably the next best running around. Brutal.
And not worried about Grunter because a) he's not in the top XI b) who can blame him for being nervous? He probably reads social media and it's hardly 100% welcoming to him. 14 months or so away from the NZ environment, needs time.

Who is in the top XI? Who's batting 5/6/7?

Good to see Anderson play such an important innings. This is probably the first time that he's stood up and made a telling contribution in tough circumstances. At the moment, we're really one class batsman short of a top side, and I have the bad feeling that that'll hurt us in the knock-out matches, so we really need Anderson to kick on from this and have a dominant season with the bat.
I imagine that after a good performance like that, Milne will probably be rested for the 2nd ODI. Picking Henry to grab at least 4 wickets in his return to trigger another round of hand-wringing.

To me, it's Anderson/Ronchi/NcCullum. The latter is going to make himself indispensable.

The rest of the lower order is probably strong enough to replace Jeevan with Herath.
