Ground Stats

Manuka, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

Manuka Oval was the venue of the World Cup match between South Africa and Zimbabwe in 1992, and became a regular venue for major limited-over cricket with the birth of the Canberra Comets in 1997/98. The venue is set to host a CB Series match between India and Sri Lanka in 2008, marking a return to international cricket after 16 years.

Pitch

The wicket is nothing different from the tracks in the subcontinent, except for the bounce. Considering the track is set to aid strokeplay, both teams are expected to opt for batting depth.

Teams(likely)

India (likely) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Rohit Sharma, 6 Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 7 Robin Uthappa, 8 Irfan Pathan, 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Sreesanth, 11 Ishant Sharma

Sri Lanka may bring in Farveez Maharoof, the allrounder, for Tillakaratne Dilshan, who is recovering from a bout of infection.

Sri Lanka (likely) 1 Upul Tharanga, 2 Sanath Jayasuriya, 3 Kumar Sangakkara, 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Chamara Kapugedera, 6 Chamara Silva, 7 Farveez Maharoof, 8 Chaminda Vaas, 9 Lasith Malinga 10 Ishara Amerasinghe 11 Muttiah Muralitharan

    yeah i think dilruwan perera can do a better job than what he did in sydney.

    hahaha, u play wt ur nxt dor nangi! Gss she z d only match 4 u!!:rofl: :rofl: :P :P
    anyway bro, Dilruwan z a niz inclusion, yet whn T.M. z fit wt Maha n all, I dn't thnk he'll stand a chance.
    Infact wt Dilhara fit, I really doubt who will find d leaving ticket!
    To me Maha shud b a permenant member in our team.
    May b Ishara wud find his way out!
    N the other thng z Malinga shud nt have long runs, he shud get rests here n there!!!

    They won't risk dilshan if he's nt 100% fit thats y..When tharanga fails at the top of the order (which is wats been happenin for the last six or so months) then the whole SL inns start to collapse.. Pshycological advantage quickly turns back to the fielding team very early in the game..He's having a really bad patch.. We should open with Sanga and Sanath if we are to give a good foundation for our inns.. Tharanga should be given a break..But this is highly unlikely :(

    I dn't thnk openiong wt Sanga z such a wise idea!
    He z d backbone so v shud kinda save him! But may b Kapu wud fit in to the place!!!
    N the other thng z man nt only Tharanga z been failing but also Sana which z been d dissapointing factor!!!
    Sanga shud remain as the no.3.
    I firmly belive tht the bst bastman must play @ no.3, since he might have 2 face d 2nd ball of the match as well as frm 5th over, 15th over so!!!

    oh gimme a break..didn't u c maththew hayden walking down the pitch even before the ball was bowled to smash him?

    vaas is ineffective with his mild pace and where the f*ck is his so-called swing?

    andrew symonds swings it more than him..we need an attacking bowler like dilhara..

    and believe me i can play better you:P :P
