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

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

Haha, I had no idea.

i think with alst 20 20s NZ have a better chance then anyone. SL not in form in limited over games, IND playing after long time ..!!!! Go kiwis the cup is waiting for you not really counting IND out as well..

It's going to be a battle between New Zealand and India I think. As shown in the T20's Sri Lanka's middle order tends to fold in fairly easily. India are also playing after a long time and may be somewhat rusty. Overall I think New Zealand will win it.

Yea I think New Zealand and India will end up playing in the final. As most people have said Sri Lanka's middle-lower order is fairly "tame".

Apparently, Tendulkar is scrapping his MRF bat and switching to Adidas starting from the beginning of the Tri Series.

Any links or anything?

I know that Gambhir will now use MRF though.

EDIT: Here's the Tendulkar proof

There's absolutely nothing wrong with SL's middle order, they just need to win the TOSS!!!!!

 

[Howsie]

Well statistically it's nowhere near as good as New Zealand's and India's.

It actually shocked me seeing Sachin swap manufacturers, I mean, he's been using them since the beginning of time Anyway, it doesn't really come down to the bat, it comes down to the batsman.

Is it going to be a special Adidas model or one of their current models with specific variables. ie. Pellara, Incurza, Libro, etc.

I hope he will hit big sixer with it. Also I hope Gambhir doesn't go crap using an MRF, seeing as they're heavier.

India should take this, even without Sehwag and Zaheer.

India easily has the best batting lineup, and good enough bowling to win this.

I hope he will hit big sixer with it. Also I hope Gambhir doesn't go crap using an MRF, seeing as they're heavier.

I'm pretty sure he'll be given bats that he feels comfortable using. In the end he's only using their stickers and should still be using the same bat.

Bond completes the missing link in Kiwi's line up for short form of the game. One of my favorite teams now.

 

[Cricketman]

WTF? Tendulkar's switching his bat??

It's just not the same. The MRF bat is synonymous to Tendulkar.

Gambhir... wtf?

 

[SciD]

A guy from NZ also uses MRF bat.
