Good thing Sangakkara wasn't standing up to the stumps then or that would've been four!

Yeah you don't get near that standing up.

Uh what signs? He's always driven the ball straight regardless of its length.
He did get a good ball though.

He wasn't scratching around with poor weight transitions. He doesn't have the most sound technique in the world but when he's relaxed in his mind he's not so tense and strikes the ball a lot cleaner, and even finds his single zones.

There's no point standing up for Guptill. Lots of point standing up for McCullum or Sanga/Dilshan/Jayawardene.

Wouldn't go that far; they've got two of them and one of them bats five.

why the **** would you duck a kula bouncer. Hit it into the ****ing stands.

He's definitely bowled quicker than he used to in limited overs cricket in general over the last year or so. He was about this pace when he first debuted but then cut his pace back into a genuine medium pace territory for ages.
Still cbf in Tests though.

He did look much better. Even almost got a cover drive away but predictably hit it straight to the fielder.
Still a sitting duck against anything resembling good/short of a length bowling.

Malinga and Kula in form are going to be such an awkward opening attack. The more I watch this team the more I think they're being underrated coming into the tournament. Malinga, Kula, Mathews/Perera, Senananananaa and fatty is a quality attack.
Keep Karu in tests only though pls.

Malinga has been feasting on the rice & curry and been below his best for a while now.. I agree though if he was at his best SL will be a good sleeper pick.
Karu being dropped seems unlikely to happen now.. especially since Mahela has made 2 tons (almost) in the middle order.. SL selectors would consider his scratchy starts as "seeing off the new ball".. Looks like Chandimal is **** out of luck for the WC.. Thiri showed signs of figuring out ODI finishing in the Eng series but looks to have reverted to his ****-all ways.
