Beware Sri Lanka

You are taking on the most successful Bdesh team tomorrow, after all. According to this article on Crapinfo, the BD boys won 14 of their 19 ODI's this year. Mostly against crappy Windies and Zimbabwe teams yes, but the Lankans were full strength.

I am not going to be too excited because with my countrymen it doesn't mean much. They are brain explosion specialists and has yet to carry their success on from series to series. But hey, at least we didn't lost 6-1, crash out of a semi final or lose against a depleted bowling attack.

Let's not upset that record tomorrow children.

(Thanks for sending the article in Adi)

Yeah this tournament will be important for bangladesh.actually they have a better bowling attack than sl this time.but they will be have to be careful about dilshan coz he has a very good conversion rate and superb hand eye co ordination.

Akila, you can say that again.

CT, I am never excited.

Adi, hopefully not! I don't think Bangladesh ever wins the toss.
