Jayawardene has just about enough time to play himself in. The next batsman probably won't, though.Adarsh said:A wicket would completely destroy the momentum. Besides Jayawardene doesn't score too quickly at first, nd they don't have any real power hitters. Chamara Silva is decent, but I wouldn't bank on him to win Sri Lanka the World Cup.
I feel Hoggy could do more damage than Tait. A quick couple of wickets or couple of overs would change the rhythm of the game.Drewska said:One thing that Sri Lanka can hold onto is that this is a normal Twenty20 situation 151 off 17 overs with 8 wickets left. Not to mention one of the most destructive batsman for years is well set. But I think Tait's next spell is crucial, he destroy or self destroy.
I think Dilshan is the closest Lanka get to a power hitter. One feels that Australia would really have to help Sri Lanka a lot for the latter to win, though.aussie1st said:Unless they have a McMillian waiting in the wings then definitely Jayasuriya would seal the game. Not too confident when the game is this close seeing how our bowling fell apart in NZ. I hope we don't use Watson at the death again.
