Murali is one of the most genuinely terrifying players in this tournament for an Australian fan. If we can survive his overs with minimal damage done, and if we can get a couple of early wickets and get into their middle order early I think we should be ok.

Spark · 03-03-2011, 08:11 PM

...which we have done very very often. We've played Murali pretty well most of the time.

Not saying it'll happen again but I'm not "terrified" of him.

I'm terrified of commitment.

What if she's not the right one?

middle and low order is the worry.Smith batting after Mussey would have been ideal but him coming after terribly out of form White and Dussey doesn't boost the confidence of handling sl spinners.like to see Ferg replace smith and batting at 5 but that wont happen.

Sangakkara's due a score, tbh. The Aussie pace attack can bully you when they put on big runs so SL's best chance will be to bat first and let Murali and Mendis put them on the skids.

Watson vs the SL spinners is going to be hilarious to watch, in King Kong vs biplanes sorta way.

And that, ladies and germs, is the post of the sub-forum so far.

Pretty good chance we're seeing one of the finalists in this game, probably two semi-finalists. Will stay up late and watch this one (thanks for nothing Channel 9)

PS: who do people think deserve to start favourites? Why?

salman85 · 03-03-2011, 09:36 PM

Srilanka.
