Sri Lanka is going to choke .

Australia will win the final.

Nah they dont play that choker style mind games, when they asked Jayawardene who they prefer for the final, he said they wanna play the best!!!
They can topple Oz and they will!!

Unlike SA who didn't want to play Australia in the Semi Finals.
 
I urge people not to support these bunch of losers again. First of all, they didn't even have a bowling coach. Second, graeme smith proved again, what his non-captaincy amounts to, and third, australia proved that south africa can't play cricket.

We are even now far below average. It's disgusting.
 
we're ranked number 2 in the world, and we reached the semi's of the world cup, so we finished 3/4... that's above average... but anyway :rolleyes:
 
Whoa, whoa there internet junkie.

We lost (sure, embarrassingly) in the WC semi finals to probably the best team in the world.

We should have played a lot better, and we're all upset about that, but we are far from below average.

I don't know if Smith is the right man to captain the team, and I don't know who to suggest to replace him. A number of weaknesses have been exposed. But we got to the World Cup semi-final, and while we look at what went wrong we should still be proud of that achievement.

And, even though they didn't win the world cup, I'll still support this team (though I hope that they learn from what this experience).


PS: the bowling coach's name is Vincent Barnes.
 
"I don't think we played reckless shots and threw the wickets away," said Arthur. "We had a plan, we wanted to destroy Australia's momentum somehow and we needed to get on top quickly. It was part of the plan, but it never came off."

More brainless tactics. It didn't work for Smith. It didn't work for Kallis. So does EVERY other batsman have to continue this "brave" tactic?

It is so stupid. They choose a "tactic" and continue with it right 'til the end, even after it's clear that it isn't working after the first two wickets.

Agreed!! With those tactics and game plan 27/5 actually makes sense!!
 
The problem is Australia are just too good. No matter what tatics are in place. Even if the Aussies loose early wickets there middle order can bat as good as the top order. The S L have good bowlers but their batsman aint good enough. For sure Australia will lift this world cup.

They good enough to make 250!! Jayasuriah can fire, and Jayawardene and Sangakara has had a pathetic Wc so far for batting, their lower order can hit a few Vaas and Arnold... They can defend 250+ against Oz!!
