Advance Congratulation to sri lanka

We can win this match easily. I don't think toss will be important factor when we are playing against England.

But don't forget England defeated (or tie) all the matches they played against big strong teams (SA,WI and India). But defeated against weakest team like B'desh and Ireland.

Anyway I thin below teams will select for Semis.

1. Sri Lanka
2. Pakistan
3. Australia
4.S. Africa

Sri Lanka should never be complacent. It should work hard over the next couple of days on England, and semi-finalists.

This is a very rare opportunity to face England rather than India. Our top players must play for the country & not for the people

Afker Hussain Sunday, 20 March 2011 09:05 PM

I hope we can have another crack at the Aussies in the Final ..and hopefully on this occasion we will win Inshaallah without the weather playing spoil sport.

s.m.Hafeel Sunday, 20 March 2011 05:14 PM

All the best to Srilanka

Lal Medawatte Sunday, 20 March 2011 10:21 PM

Incidentally on its victorious route to 1996 World Cup Sri Lanka beaten England at the Quarter-finals convincingly and hopefully history will be repeated here at 2011 World Cup.

SriLankan Monday, 21 March 2011 12:15 AM

"Good Luck" Sanga and the team
Teach Cricket to English team like Irish people did it in priliminary round.

Suranga Monday, 21 March 2011 12:23 AM

Three matches away from the Cup that Cheers! Sri Lanka must do a micro-analysis on Australia, South Africa and England, not to mention India. Special request: Tharanga, please be more active on the field!

noxurs Monday, 21 March 2011 02:06 AM

This should be a cakewalk for SL.

suren Monday, 21 March 2011 02:06 AM
