Have the minnow basher beat any major team in this tourney?

[Andy]

But they'll beat the crap out of us tomorrow. Add to that we'll have to tolerate some Fake accent.

Allan Border - "Sri Lanka looks the stronger team on paper". Must be some paper :cheer: Also, Arjuna, doesn't the ICC do whatever BCCI says. How dare they allow a weak team to sneak in. :hitler:

[FairCricket]

:hysterical:

[Dhruv200]

Lets keep quiet our Result will speak .

:hysterical: 1. India can't beat Netherlands and Ireland and Bang comprehensively, and had to struggle. In other words, they cant even bash minnows. 2. The OZ victory is nothing. Therez nothing to celebrate about beating a team that came to subcontinent without a spin attack (I wouldnt consider krezja a spinner, just a slow bowler), and has out of form batsmen. 3. SL lost to a performing Pak team, where younis and misbah milked runs with a partnership.(except Akmal who dropped many). India beat a Pak team that didnt turn up, more or less gifted the match. Nevertheless, good victory against Pak. 4. The record over the past two years Ind Vs SL is 8:8. That shows how even things are. 5. SL was def. beating AUS with three spinners.

I guess that^ post is suppose to present a counter PoV but all I see is agreeing with the OP, i.e. SL has bashed minnows, depleted sides and did well mostly in friendly conditions :giggle: And then OZ victory is suppose to mean little but then you have it in you to present the stats from past two years. What's OZ's record against SL then? And some of those SL victories would have come when Ind would have rested its key players You post does little to drive away the claim that SL has done nothing in this WC except bash minnows and do well in fridnly conditions (including doctored pitches), i.e. so far it has played like a circus lion I am not claiming that SL cannot beat Ind at all. Every dog has its day but I don't agree with SL being rated as good as Ind or higher. And I am not really impressued by its performances so far. Even though, I love Murali, I feel that SL has used up all its luck :winky:

i agree every dog has its day , but tomorrow certainly aint its day

1. Its called fine tuning the team. 2. The OZ victory is nothing...lol. Yeah keep saying that to urself. & out of form batsman...lol excuse at its best. 3. SL lost to Pak...who was sent home by India. If Pak didnt turn up...who was playing...SLan players dressed in green? 4. The only sensible & corrent point from u. Tomorrow is another game..& the team that keep their cool will win. Best of luck to both teams. 5. So u accept that SL with its doctored wicket for 3 spinners can only win at home then :winky:

What funny is that when you say minnow basher, almost everyone knows which team is being talked abt .... and that says a lot :hysterical:

[21cent]

Of course minnow bashing is our favorite activity. Getting bashed by minnows in india's favorite activity in 07 WC. SL will continue this tradition of minnow bashing by beating the indian minnows in the final. Make sure to add that to your list bro.

[zubinpepsi]

there is ab****ely no doubt that srilankans are the best minnow bashers and home track bullies.. the stats will show ... and btw look at the statement of the worlds best minnow basher:

"That hundred (against canada :giggle:) gave me confidence that I can do it at this big stage," Jayawardene said. "Ever since that moment I have probably lifted my game quite a bit and turned into a big-match player."

I mean has this guy ever played a noticeable innings against a top rated country.. and he goes on to say he has become a big match player.. all lady jaya can do is.. beat the crap out of those poor minnow teams..

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: The difference is between 07 & 11.....India moved ahead & are in the final of 11...SL still the same as 07. Which means...SL will loss again tomorrow.

"The Sri Lanka Lion (Panthera leo sinhaleyus), also known as the Ceylon Lion, was a prehistoric subspecies of lion, endemic to Sri Lanka. It appears to have become extinct prior to the arrival of culturally modern humans, c. 37,000 years BC." :P

Bro u shud have waited till the final is finished get ready to eat humble pie if u lose just like Paki fans did.

[SriLankanLion]

I wonder why ICC is going to hold the final tomorrow? We have the all time unbelievably f u c k i n g best ODI team India in the finals... Sri Lanka will have no chance at all... ICC should hand over the cup to India by default... Sri Lanka doesn't even deserve to be in the quarter finals at least... ICC officials must be banned. The thread starter must be immediately appointed as the ICC president. :hysterical: By the way, are all Indians stupid like some of these here....?

[zubinpepsi]

^another fake lion shows up and farts all over the place...

Also all you retards need to stop believing that only the Aussie and SA bouncy pitches are sporting wickets. All subcontinet fans have this complex of beleiving fast trakcs are the only good tracks.. Dusty slow turning wickets are just as sportful. Not really the fault of SL to make optches that they can have an advantage on. It really doenst matter what the hell india prepares for a pitch. a dusty raging turner will suit SL's spin and a fast track will suit us more than it will your trundlers.
