This may very well be a means to that end, throwing untried players at what they perceive as a throwaway tri-series with no real repercussions from doing badly in. That remains to be seen, though. Right now it is just a source of ridicule, or is being ignored completely.

Good stuff on fast bowlers in the session break now on Ten Sports involving Allan Donald. Discussing Bond, Steyn, Lee etc.

Taylor is so good.. Dead rubber/Friendly victories or not, Zimbabwe have had a mightily impressive year.. Even if they go on to lose this game and the final, they have definitely commanded the respect they are starting to deserve..

Don't worry. SL will win the finals with a good margin.

Personally think Ashwin could possibly be a useful player for India in the near future, not sure of the rest. Guys like Yadav it's too early for them really.

Anyway very impressive stuff from Zimbabwe.

Yadav was picked on the fact that he bowls occasionally in the 140kph region, was always a disaster - he's never done it consistently in the domestic circuit and is still quite new anyway.

Plus points for SL up to now is the form showed by Randiv, Fernando and Thushara. Randiv is bowling with guile and latter two producing some pace. The pitch was not assisting fast bowling at all, but these two were able to beat batsmen for pace.

Indian and Pakistani bastmen will find these two interesting to handle on normally juicy Dambulla track in the Asia cup.
