Don't take Sri Lanka lightly

[Lord]

Just heard Wankhede may be a Turner. Thats not good.

yeah,hope it is seamer-friendly.

[saneindian]

Turner, patta, seaming wicket, nothing matters. We have enough variety in the bowling and enough strength in the batting to win against any opposition in any condition.

[Sooda]

Paks are pants so we were right to be super confident

Dont think anyone was super confident and rightly so seeing that they pushed us a bit close...:hmmm: SL's bowling is arguably better than ours and better in the field, top order is strong but not so much the middle...very tight match for sure

[Fontaine]

thats why I want a swinging pitch.thier FTB'S willl surrender to swing.only Sanga n Jaya r class

Well the swing will depend on the weather conditions and whether the pitch is watered well which would evaporate as the game progresses and may cause swing, but then again it would only benefit the team batting second, not first. But I agree with you. Sri Lanka only really have Malinga and our bowlers like Munaf/Nehra/Zaheer can make full use of a seaming track. Either way we've got the bowling attack to make use of the conditions whether it be slow/low, turn or seam. The last thing we should produce though is a completely flat track which completely negates our batting advantage.

Raina should come in ahead of dhoni

did u see NZ-SL match in Mumbai,it was hot it was still swinging n bouncing.NZ could've made another breakthrough if they had a 3rd seamer.n it swung under lights too.even Mathews got swing.there wasnt much turn though I dont want a turner.SL bats would be comfortable playing spin.we need to get the top 4 early one thing I definitely want is bounce.It'll help both spin n seamers n SL bats dont handle it too well

[Hindustani]

SL batting looks to be in Good form, specially the TOP 4 like Indian Top 4. I will still say it is 50-50 for both teams and the team which keep their nerves will win

[Prakat]

SL are good competitors especially in a final situation and that too against India. Will be a good match and most probably better than yesterday's.

[Ramzz]

Hoping for Zak to nail Tharanga and Sanga quickly. He is good against lefties. For Dilshan...middle to leg stump line.

[vvvslaxman]

Sangakkara will come up with lot of unusual field settings. For yuvraj he will have second slip and ask he will ask his bowlers to bowl across the line of batsman. For Gambhir he will stadn upto the stumps. For Viru he will place to point fielders close to each other along with deep third man. .... etc etc.

[rajmarie]

Yes...India should not take the final lightly....SL top 4 are firing...even though their middle order look weak...but their top have not exposed the middle much. SL have very good bowlers...& Mendis specially has bowled very economically. Malinga & Murli are always a threat. We cant even come close to SL fielding. So India needs to keep the confidence high...but dont get over confidence. 1 more game to win...& then we all celebrate
