I think we can beat the Lankies with early wickets, but we have to get out batting order right, the pitch at Kandy has been getting slower and lower while we've been here and CK seems to have lost the ability to rotate the strike (and keep wicket), teams haven't been getting bowled out at all so need our best 5 bowlers in and forget whether they can. At or not.

Luck to still be in the thing as we were dire against a very poor Windies side.

Agree with this entirely, as Nasser Hussain said yesterday we need to not worry about bits and pieces cricketers, we need to get proper bowlers and proper batsmen in. Need 5 best bowlers for the day, which for me is Broad, Finn, Briggs, Swann and either Bresnan or Patel depending on the pitch. If we can nick a couple of wickets early on we'll be right in the mix I think as SL middle order is nowhere near as strong as their top 3

Levi is under pressure for a score massively after that duck again today. Seems as tho his record ton was very much a flash in the pan innings.

Who knows??? I had such high hopes for him during this comp. :(

SA's batting is always comical in world cups.

SA spinners employing interesting tactic to Shane Watson, employing the under-used slow long hop in a bid to...well, I don't know what they're expecting with it! Luring him into a false sense of security after hitting the ball to all parts?!

It works on countless occasions in cricket games everywhere. The short, athletically challenged, 60 year old rocks up and bowls moon balls and double bouncers and takes 5fer!!

Great Tactics :D

The tactic worked, Peterson burgling Watson's wicket for a paltry 70 runs! SA comeback undoubtedly forthcoming

So need India to win today. Aussie to beat Pak in the next game and we need to smash India in the last game to stand a chance of getting into the semi.. Think I will buy a lottery ticket instead.

So, must win for england.  They've replaced one man, woefully out of nick, in Kieswetter, and replaced him with another who is also out of nick in Bopara...  Dernbach and patel come in for briggs and bresnan
