amazing yes i think sri lanka are a team to watch out for in coming days. Mainly, as i said before, because of their bowling. I think they still still one or two batsmen (consistent) short. But with mendes, murali (i know he has not done well in Aus., nevertheless), malinga, vass, and maharoof, they will i think make up for the batting, which by the way is not weak, but with just two very good players in Mahela and Kumara and a warhorse in in Jayasuriya, I don't think they have a 'dream' batting line-up. But they can be strong, if others, Dilshan and others, can gain confidence from and bat around the two top batters. I think that's what happended against India. The top players clicked. They supporting players played well around the top ones and scored runs and ofcourse, the bowlers did their job.

one mistake from my previous post. Eng beat Ind in Eng 4-3 and not the other way round as I had wrote. sorry about that. Nevertheless it was a tight contest.
