Batting is solid, with Jayasuriya suddenly back in the summer of '96 and Jayawardene finding form. Bowling is possibly the best in the tournament with Murali and Malinga leading the way.Weaknesses: Not many. One grudgingly conceded would be the lack of lower middle strength that could prop up the side should the first 5 batters fail, as happened against South Africa.Opportunities: England's last couple of games has been cautiously played; they're ripe to be jumped on.Threats: Two men: Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen.SWOT – EnglandStrengths: Paul Collingwood and Kevin Pietersen in batting, Andrew Flintoff in potential, and James Anderson in bowling. Monty Panesar is a good card to play in the middle of an innings.Weaknesses: Michael Vaughan and Ian Bell are not firing, bowling is a bit thin after Anderson, Flintoff and Panesar.Opportunities: If England win here, it would be a huge boost to their semi-final chances.Threats: If England don't bring their A game, they will lose easily. Lanka are in that sort of mood.</blockquote>
