Yeah. you've risen aquestion of autmost importance,
Regarding 2007 cricket world cup.
They are in a good shape.They have flair & talent.
Now most immportantly they hanve rekindled their ability to win in alien ,overseas conditions.
They proved that in Guyana's newest stadium..
They defeated star studded Indian team with clinical aproach.
South Africans escaaped unscathed by desimal points.
As Mahela puts..........."It's time to be ruthless".
Can you remember,..It was supposed to ...be Indian's, world cup this time.
Sachin being senior most he should have waited until right moment comes.
But these blokes from Sri Lanka had other ideas.
Furthermore it was 250 runs to get....
Lankans got it by running between wickets.
They have come of age now.
Australian dominance may decline in near fure in front of these fighting Sri Lankans....Nobody knows..
We have solid facts for that....
SL has upper hand...for future games..
Its all the way for Asian Teams
No more 'Old-English-gentelmen' ruling the Cricket World.
But see how they became top of the world right now...
Though they beat india They still had to give their best ever performance..
They almost won with South Africa.,by Malinga heroics.
Now It's Sri Lanka's time to be Called As,...
"Star- studded Cricket team of World cup -2007"
Their.. ballers and fielders taught how to win when you ,balling second time.
When Robin Uthappa and Sourav Ganguly walked in, India had a target of just 255 runs, on a wicket which had dried and gone flatter. But nobody showed the charactor to stay on, except Dravid. It was his flurry of fours off Malinga in one over that had raised the hopes of Indian fans just for a while.
Anybody can be so sure that ,the turning point was Sachin’s getting out to Big-Fernando, through the gate for a duck.
That was a vital blow. India could not recover.Like wise when Vass on full flaw any thing can happen.
History may repeat this time like 1996.
Whatever little chances India had went up in flames
when Yuvraj was run out by Lankans.
They made presure on much favoured Indians.
Next time, Australia,New Zealand & England have feel the presure.
It is really worth analysing the difference between the two teams from the sub-continent. India’s strength was batting and given the proper conditions, their medium pacers and the spinners could be devastating.
If not, Indian's shoulders start drooping and the bowling goes haywire with all kind of experimentations. It could happen to the batting too.
Exactly opposite are Sri Lanka, except that their batting is as good if not better. We were the big brothers when they started. Now they are the elders. What an irony. They are better fielders for sure, and the bowlers bowl to the field under any circumstances unless it’s a completely off day for them.
Muralitharan,Vass,Malinga is just outstanding. And most importantly, they play as a team and not as individuals. And that’s the thin line that differentiated the two teams. We saw absolutely no regional biases, despite all kinds of problems in their small country.They had civil war,& Tsunami.
But still they rise like legendery phinix bird.
So wait,fans more fire works yet to come...
They now have to beat only 3 teams to advance easyly to much awaited semi finals.
Long live cricket !!!!!!!

Sri Lankan team is among the top four teams in this world cup. So they will be in the semis without worries.
But if they are to win the world cup, they need to be great in every department. At the moment, they are lacking in batting. The batsmen should be in par with their bowlers.
Also, the Sri Lankan batting is overly dependant on the master blaster Sanath Jayasuriya as well as the opening partnership. This shouldn't be so. Other batsmen should take the responsibilty in batting explosively, because Sanath cannot always score for Sri Lanka. No batsman can. And also we cant have good starts in every match.
So, if Sri Lanka can pull up their socks in batting, specially, in the top order, Sri Lanka will be in the Final.
If Sri Lanka comes to that form, the whole world would be yearning for a SL vs AUS final as explosive as it was in 1996.

Sri Lankan Cricket Team is a very strong well balanced team They have been performing well in the world cup and if they continue their performance consistently, they have a chance to win the World Cup.

I beilieve srilanka is the only team along with newzealand who can stop australia taking the world cup.
I still rate srilanka very high despite their defeat against south africa. They were just 1 wicket away from victory + their decision to bat first wast right at all, the ball was doing a lot earlier on which made the things worse.
They have a very good batting lineup with guys like attapattu unable to make into the playing 11. Jayasurya is their key player. He takes the game away so quickly from the opposition.
Their bowling attack is too good, they have got variety, with malinga's pace, vaas's discplined line and length bowling and murli's spin. + they are a very good feilding side.

A good team
If Jayawardhane and Sangakkara click they can challenge Australia.
I could not understand why a senior like Vaas staring and swearing at a new comer Uthappa in the match against India.

I think they are a great unit
the sense belief in themselves and their teammates is commendable
they feel the game within themselves
but still I would say they have to improve their batting
they have a strong top order but they need to have stronger middle order
and they also don't have any hitters to have go at they end,someone like Symmonds
but surely they are in the Semis
GOOD LUCK to them
