This one's going to be tight. But I rekcon India might just edge both Tests and ODI's.

 

[TruSachFan]

india should win this

bt @ leggie, porbandar?? i thought it was korbandar?? the place where ghandhi was born.

 

[Ollie_H]

Sri Lanka in the tests with India in the ODI's for me

No, Its Porbandar. The West Coast of India, Gujarat.

Sri Lanka in the tests with India in the ODI's for me

dude, Indian test team is really strong ATM, I must say.

India test and Sri Lanka ODI.

 

[Leggie]

This is what I think. India should and I expect them to win both ODI's and Tests, But you never know, Murali might just ruin it along with Sangkarra.

 

[usy]

I think Indian ODI team has not yet reached to level of certainty at wining a ODI series yet. Something is missing (tendulkar??) , I'd say Sri Lankans are better at short form of the game.

Plus, No T20 game???

India test and Sri Lanka ODI.

I think Sri Lanka are a much better test team than the Indians where as Indians are a much better ODI team than the Sri Lankans.

Like wise I would say this for England and New Zealand, England are a far better test team but as we saw in the ODI's New Zealand are a lot stronger in the shorter format!

 

[Leggie]

Yeah, But India tested Australia more than Sri Lanka did in the Tests a while back.

 

[SaiSrini]

I would say that India can win both forms though they could be run very tight in the ODI's (SL are playing at home in ODI's and they are super strong).

But I predict India to win the tests 1-0 or 2-0. ODI's could be 3-2 in India's favor (but SL have the stuff to make that result in their favor)

 

[Jit]

well india can win the tests more easily than odi and i want seniors players in the team this is getting out of control we are not respecting our senior players at the end of the day performance matters not age and senior players have shown form but not picked in odi just cuz of age this is bull

 

[Cricketman]

Sri Lanka 3-1 in ODI's for sure. Mendis is just too good, and Team India is tired.

Would like to bring Karthik back in the ODI frame of things, and maybe even one of Dravid or Ganguly as well. Badrinath as well!

 

[mattfb]

India should be way to good for Sri Lanka in this one. India's have quality players allthrough there line-up where-as Sri Lankas is weak in some ares like Middle order batting and Opening bowling.

India 3-2 in the ODI's and 3-0 in the tests imo.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Sri Lanka 3-2.

Mendis player of the tournament.
