aceofbase Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 For SL , there is an obvious incentive to beat AUS: get a relatively easy opponent in QF..If they lose to aussies, they will have to deal with amla abdv and steyn..
NareshK Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Australia is the only team I'm not confident that we can beat. I would much rather meet them in the finals and then potentially lose rather than be knocked out in the quarterfinals. Hopefully we don't see a Gayle storm so we can top our group. If you go in with that mindset, you will definitely lose against any team. :cantstop:
jonas10 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 The best thing is that if Australia meet NZ in the semis its in NZ where the entire country for the Kiwis is a venerable fortress. Basically this is Mohali all over again for semi finals.
veer Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 The best thing is that if Australia meet NZ in the semis its in NZ where the entire country for the Kiwis is a venerable fortress. Basically this is Mohali all over again for semi finals. And it'll be on same Auckland ground where they played each other last week. :cantstop:
Crookbond Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Yes they can. Wait, we are talking about a Sinhalese spelling bee competition - right?
prasadiyer Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Sri Lanka have a problem that Herath may not be able to play because of injury. Otherwise I think they have a good chance to beat Aus.
KFC_Zinger Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 You can have a all time XI from SL and they will still lose to Aus in Aus.... You heard it here, the jokers are losing to Aus
zen Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 SL has done the usual in the WC so far ----> get comprehensively beaten by stronger teams; beat weaker teams comprehensively .... This game will be interesting from the PoV of - can SL change that, and can an inform OZ team be pressurized in home conditions by such teams (not too strong, not too weak)
ViruDilSeKhelo Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Need Australia to finish second to throw out Pakis. Or Pak may beat SL, both poor although Lanka showing some form
HippoSucks Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Sri Lanka have a problem that Herath may not be able to play because of injury. Otherwise I think they have a good chance to beat Aus. Yes because Herath will be the deciding factor in who wins.. :cantstop:
vijay50 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 2011 srl won 2-1 in aus' date='2012 srl won 4 out of 7 matches against aus in the tri series,2013 srl drew 2-2 against aus.they have been more competitive than most but as I said the pitches and the aus team has changed a bit and look more confident[/quote'] Makes me wonder why India did so poorly in ODIs in Australia between 2011-2015 triseries. On current form SL better than India in Australia for last few years.
MCGGG Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 time will tell, if we play at our best we'll beat Sri Lanka fairly comfortably, I wouldn't fancy chasing 300+ the way these pitches are playing though, but if we bowl well we won't be chasing that many.
panesarv Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Can't believe this is the only big game that's left in this WC
cowboysfan Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 SCG might help Herath and co,SL have always played the aussies well.
Laaloo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Can't believe this is the only big game that's left in this WC Ireland vs Pakistan
Mahaa Raavana Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Lol...No way...:hysterical: we are gonna get thrashed by the Aussies.. That's not a bad thing at all..If we end up as 4th & Ind as 1st ,we'll get to face India in QF :yay: Everyone knows what happened when we met India in an ICC event last time.. :elefant:

Mahaa Raavana Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 "Everyone knows what happened when we met India in a 50-over ICC event last time." That was a diplomatic conspiracy.. :orderorder: Media reports came up of a 2 hour conference call between Rahul Gandhi,Manmohan & Rajapaksha on the night before the match day.. :((
