If Sanga tons up again, it will be his 4th in a row and a new record:
Records | One-Day Internationals | Batting records | Hundreds in consecutive innings | ESPN Cricinfo

If Sanga tons up

Didn't realise he was having a bowl.

 

[Jono]

Andy Murray should bat 3 for Scotland. He was hitting them well over the weekend.

 

[Maximas]

Reckon we maybe ought to have a look at Charmmera this game

 

[YorksLanka]

deffo, I have crossed over to the dark side and can now moved into the three bowlers isn't enough camp..i want malinga, chameera and lakmal plus satchi if herath is still unfit..

 

[Midwinter]

Th is game is about the batting line ups, The Scots have a chance to make some runs to put pressure on Sri Lanka but have they the bowling to hold Sri Lankas batting which has been impressive so far.

 

[kuttipatty]

Who will score most runs and who will take most wickets ?

Sangakara has a record to set by 4th consecutive century

Can Malinga do well in this match - what you guys think?

 

[silentstriker]

Why is this the only match on today and why is there no match on tomorrow? ARGH.

 

[Burgey]

Arent SA playing tomorrow?

 

[silentstriker]

Oh right. My bad.

 

[Sarun]

Jayawardene seems to tailed off since his century.

 

[Maximas]

Jayawardene seems to tailed off since his century.

He's barely gotten a hit, he's the kind of guy who tends to shine when most needed anyway, I'm not worried

Yea I'm expecting Sanga to fail in the knockouts and Mahela to pick things up.. that's the standard formula for SL over the years.

That being said, we might be seeing Sanga and Mahela for in ODIs for only 2 more games.

 

[Isura]

Don't see the point in playing Tharanga at 7. Tharanga and Prasanna 2 deadweights in our side.

 

[Athlai]

Don't see the point in playing Tharanga at 7. Tharanga and Prasanna 2 deadweights in our side.

Because your other finishers have been so woeful and you have two quality allrounders in the top 5.

Gives you wonky balance issues.

 

[Athlai]

Chandiguns being out and injured is so unfortunate though.

 

[Athlai]

Sri Lanka win the toss and bat.

This could be a big one.

 

[_Ed_]

Sri Lanka win the toss and bat.

This could be a big one.

Yep, quite possibly. But I'm hoping the Scots bring their best bowling performance of the tournament and at least make it vaguely competitive.

 

[Jono]

Why is this the only match on today and why is there no match on tomorrow? ARGH.

One day you'll get a criticism of this World Cup right.
