IMO Sri Lanka doesnt have a chance at all in this match but they might do against South Africa. I think Sri Lankas last two series beatings have shown this.

Or even, open the bowling with another spinner? You guys copied Greatbatch & Latham's approach from the 1992 WC so you could copy our tactic of opening with Dipak Patel too :p ;)

Sl has already opened the bowling with spinners. In tests and in ODI's :D
You should remeber the test James it was against NZ in SL after all. 1998 galle i think :D :D

The MCG, because of the Commonwealth Games, is not available. Not too many other options, besides the Dome.

why, because the english can't play on spinning tracks?

Spin in general actually :p

But I do think that many spinners in a test match was borderline insanity. Pace bowling has its place in cricket too ;)

Oh my, Mark Nicholas is doing the background voice for the intro videos now. He may as well change his name to "Eddie Maguire of Cricket" :-O

Anyway Sri Lanka win the toss and choose to bowl first to try and take advantage of supersub rule.

Terrible. Teams not choosing the best option just to use one more player. Sri Lanka on the back foot already.

Whilst its not ideal, when you have an extra batsman in the team you may as well make use of it. I don't think SL are to blame, its an idiotic rule that wasn't thought through properly when it was brought into cricket at the highest level.

Sri Lanka have bowled beautifully.

What was with Katich taking suicidal singles almost every over, hence always having to dive.
