Tri Series (India, Sri Lanka and New Zealand) - Compaq Cup in Sri Lanka 2009

I haven't seen him play of late, but is Bond as quick as he was before and does he still get them sharp inswingers going?

He'd be just as quick as he was before. Bond was capable of bowling 150+ but usually he was around the 140-145k mark from what I remember anyway.

In a 20/20 game earlier this year when Bond's team (Canterbury) played ND he was easily the quickest of the bowlers on show. I'd wouldn't be surprised to see him bowl around the 140-145K mark anyway.

I'm going to say the Lankans will take this one.

Sri Lanka looks more dangerous in this series. I voted for Sri Lanka.

NZ maybe down but they are not out. i am sure they'l be very competitive. this short tri-series will be very short and very sweet

Whoever wins the toss wins the match at Premadasa so I think it's pretty unpredictable.

If tonights side plays then I will be surprised if SL win even 1 game. :laugh

They have a nice top 4, even though I don't rate Jayasuriya anymore. He's had his day. The batting below it is a huge problem for them. They should use Samaweera. He played well in the tests, and aggressive at times. Don't see why he shouldn't be in there. Bowling-wise, they'll be better with Murili if he gets fit.

Woah, thought you were Abhas .

The Sirils definitely have the best bowling attack. Kulusekara, Malinga, Thushara, with Muralia and Mendis as backups. Batting's not bad too, but I don't think it's as strong as say India's.

It'll be interesting.

Hey Vettori backward, please change your avvy. I also thought you were Abby.

:laugh I've been posting here for over a year and I haven't even noticed that.

Oh, I totally didn't know he used this exact picture. I got it off cricinfo.

Time to change again.

edit: Changed it. It's a bad picture though. Bond looks like Mike Hussey. I'll change it when Bond gets some wickets in the next game.

If India wins all the three matches, then they will reach the No1 spot in ODi rankings, right now they have 126 points, and SA is at No1 at 127 points..Lets see what happens,last time India won against SL in SL..

 

[Mike23]

It will be interesting to see how the indians tackle bond..Though having played less games against them he has a farily good average.Bond vs Tendulkar will be a good little battle.

 

[Dare]

I chose India. It will be a really good series.

 

[SciD]

Kiwis will win without loosing a single game.
