Dhondy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 If you look at Sri Lanka players body language, then you can get the whole picture...really lost respect for Sri Lanka....But hey...i don't have right to force him to choose :winky: After reading the comments from several forums including Aussie, England, and Sri Lanka forum, and they all are saying the same thing....They were afraid to face Pakistan even though they had defeated Pakistan.... or perhaps they were afraid because Pakistan can bounce back any time after losing and beside, Pakistan has dominated Sri Lanka in the past as well :--D ...I shouldn't be saying, but the argument about this still going on several forums including this site now :--D With generous fanning of debates by Pakistani fans, no doubt. It's a myth to somehow suppose Pakistan has a better record against SL than India recently. Over the last 20 matches, India have beaten SL 11 times, with six losses and 3 no results, a W:L ratio of 1.83 Over the last 20, Pakistan have also won 11 v SL, but lost 8, with 1 NR, a W:L ratio of 1.375. It suits Pakistani fans to delude thmselves that SL somehow should be more scared of them than India, but sadly recent record doesn't back that up. Link to comment
MundaPakistani Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 PAK lost 2 out of the 3 games against the good Asian teams hence didn't deserve to play the final. SL were obviously not going to play their A game in a meaningless match. Link to comment
diegovegaz Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 this is very unlike the sri lankan side it is unprofessional from them, being scared of d pakistani crowd isn't international sport spirit if mahela's post match reviews are taken into deep consideration, it definately seems a pre-planned loss to avoid pressure of the paki crowd, it signifies the failiure of the spirit of this great game Link to comment

arkay Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 ucilite' date=' I could say that Pak did the exact same thing in the Asian Test Championship in 1999 when they opted for a draw with SL just to make sure India didn't reach the final. But that would make me come across as a bitter and sore loser. Pak are out of the Asia Cup final once again and traditionally, India and SL have been the powerhouse performers in this trophy and NOT Pak. Move on.[/quote'] Exactly. I was just searching for articles to showcase just that. It would be sour grapes. The fact of the matter is: There are a lot of precedent to this. SL did the same against aussies prior to finals to deny a chance for aussies to face Malinga and Murali. They dont opposition to have a surprise factor when they face the more important finals. In fact, India did the same against aussies in CB finals when they brought 2 new comers to play the finals - Praveen kumar and P. Chawla as a surprise package to deny the advantage. Shane warne did the same for RR. He did not want opposition to gain a lot of exposure of S. Tanwir or S. Asnodkar. Time and again, he rested these players so opposition did not get to play him. We will only know whether resting of Mendis / Vaas would provide a physiological boost to them on Sunday. I hope there will be no excuses. The team that plays better on Sunday will win the match.
