Batting order did us in. Tendulkar at no.4

Choosing to bat first against BD did us in. Dhoni's two zeros - one against BD and one against SL was very helpful as well.

[vvvslaxman]

It is amazing.. you have a team that had Viru and TEndulkar. Neither of them opened :cantstop:. Ganguly and Uthappa !!

Dravid looks about 100 in that picture

That was the right option if you ask me. Unfamiliarity and also when you looked at that side they were more like high school students. Frankly i thought we were going to crush them. But i had no idea about any of their players. Little bit of knowledge about them could have avoided embarrassment.

Nope. Revenge happens when you knock out a team preferabbly in knock out stages. Eden Gardens revenge can only be taken by knocking out Srilanka in a final tommorow.

Yea but revenge for a nation..not necessarily by the same group of people.

We already knocked them out in quarter finals in 2003 world cup. We got over it long back. To be honest we don't really have any score to settle against them.

There was no quarter finals in 2003.

But loss against us eliminated them i reckon.

I still think about Eden Garden. Kambli crying. India should have won.

Edited (after reading LAVAN's post): Srilanka made it to the semifinals of 2003 worldcup.

It was entirely fault of Azhar for misreading the pitch. Even part timers looked deadly in the second half. I was more pissed off at our team. Kambli was useless in that world cup. I was mad at that guy too. Only Tendulkar was playing so well.

Kambli is useless in odis. We had them down 2 wickets for 1 and 3 for 35 if I am not wrong..Their midde order won them the game.

In 2003 world cup sri lanka was knocked out by Australia in da semi final game. Dont make up stuff

Big matches, bat first..2003 final. we learnt our mistake..2007 batted first against BD and still lost. 2007 was a disaster. I think this format helped India quite a lot
