What is the prognosis for hte final?

[dan warna]

now that we have seen once again, when the chips are down, RSA fold like a deck of cards, and the only thing faster than the boks to collapse is the pommes, how will AUstralia Go against the lankans?

 

[Gopies 2002]

IMO the final should be a ripper. These are the two best balanced one day teams. Both have a good mix of bowlers, reasonable depth in batting and batsman at the top of the order who can score quick runs.

The Aussies probably start favs. However the Lankans have the players capable of taking the game away from the aussies.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

If Australia bat first we'll make over 300 and the Sri Lankans will crawl to 8/210 from 50 overs. Russell Arnold 35* from 108 balls.

If Sri Lanka bat first they'll get skittled Pak99-style for about 120.

 

[SriLankanCat]

If SL bat first, i think the y will make 275 and bowl aus out for about 50 runs short.

If Aus bat first, SL will be happy to keep them to a score of around 240 id say and win by about 5 wickets.

Should be a great final.

My final MOTM: Jayasuriya in his farewell game

Well Sri Lanka do have a 100% record in finals against Australia but they dont stand a chance
