Yep. That's why I'm afraid of Lankans. Murali and Mendis are too good, and then they have Jayasuria, if he gets going then there's no stopping Sri Lanka from winning.
Did Pakistan top their group?
Shame that the Dutch upset didn't count for anything... although it makes the next round of the competition a lot more exciting.
I think New Zealand and Sri Lanka will beat Pakistan in the next round. The only reason the Dutch failed today is because they had no idea how to tackle Afridi and Ajmal. As India showed in the warm-up, a proper Test nation won't have too much trouble against the spinners.
Australia is probably one of the weakest players of spin bowling in world cricket right now, or at least their T20 line-up is. However, I think the likes of Haddin, Clarke and the Husseys would have played Afridi and Ajmal with ease. New Zealand may have a bit of trouble but Sri Lanka should be able to handle it. If they get to the next round, I think South Africa and India have all the capabilities to handle them and England is not all that bad either. If Chris Gayle is still around when the spinners come on then they might as well forget about the match.Thats not right at all because Australia couldn't able to pick these two guys.
That is true of almost any bowler.The reason for unpredictability in these two spinners is that if these bowlers gets an early break through then their confidence will boost up and they started to becoming more dangerous.
