I was expecting a 150-200 run win.

I wouldn't be surprised if they bat out the 50 overs. Treat this farce like a test match.
Cricinfo win prediction went from 11% to 0.83%
Looks like SL might not win this.

Beautiful shot off the legs.
And the sequence of runs=wickets is doomed.

putting the England abysmal effort into perspective, lanka really not good at all. chalk up another "won toss lost game", instead of trying to work out where an advantage is teams should just assess their best chance of winning and letting India bat first wasn't likely to be their's - not that batting first they probably wouldn't have lost, just maybe not quite so badly!
on a plus note, for England, enhances their chances of climbing up and finishing in a CT spot, assuming they can beat Holland and maybe someone else!

if they copied their opponents' approach of 1996 and fans rioted how would the ICC deal with the NRR? Not so much in terms of qualifying as 1-4 are well out of lanka's reach, but for CT.........?

I don't think SL made a blunder by bowling first.
India had been winning chasing and had been bowled out for 229 the only time India batted first. And SL won bowling first vs Eng and lost batting 1st vs Afg. And in the Asia cup were bowled out for 50 batting 1st. Both of their wins this world cup had come bowling first. They even lost when they batted 1st and set Pak 340+ so they had strong reasons to test India out by making India bat. And if they had held a couple of catches, India would have been 40/3!
Margins are so small that if you don't take your chances, it turns into a one-sided affair. If SL had batted first, they'd been bowled out for like 160 and lost convincingly anyway.

They were going to lose either way because they suck.
They can go unbeaten only against the associate nations.

It was a very different pitch that India only made 230 on, plus England bowled and fielded really well in that game. That they still won by a hundred highlights the pitch (and the fact it was still daft for England to bowl first).
