HEY EVERY1

2 DAY V HAVE A VERY CRUCIAL MATCH, A MATCH WHICH WE THOUGHT B4 THE WORLD CUP STARTED ws goin to be a walk in the park! so we all wish the best of luck for the boys and i think this is the best XI which will be able to beat the bangla tigers

(i have arranged the batting order in the way that would be the best)

1. Upul Tharanga
2. Sanath Jayasuriya
3. Marvan Atapattu
4. Mahela Jayawardene
5. Kumar Sangakkara
6. Russell Arnold
7. Chamara Silva
8. Farveez Maharoof
9. Chaminda Vaas
10. Lasith Malinga
11. Muthiah Muralidaran

Some of u might wonder y i promoted Marvan up to no.3. It's because we all know that he is most comfortable playing as an opener and he is used to batting at no.3 more than no.5 so by putting him at no.3 we can fully use his capabilities.

Since Kumar can adjust to any position, i have pushed him down to 5.

Another surprise mite be the inclusion of Russell Arnold ahead of TM Dilshan. The basic reason is that most of our top order doesnt have much xperience of facing these bangla bowlers and there is a slight chance that they might fail to make big scores. This is where the value of Arnold can be seen, as he thrives in the situation when the chips are down. Since Chamara can adjust according to the situation of the match, i have taken him.

Sanath can bowl as the 5th bowler, and perhaps if some of the specialist bowlers dont bowl too well, Arnold can be called upon to send down some overs.

I just hope that our top order will click and that Farveez will show the batting talent that he is capable of by slogging so that we can get a massive total and hope our opening bowlers can capture some quick wickets, especially 'hard - hitter' Tamim Iqbal, so that they can put some pressure on the Banglas. These Banglas do crumble under pressure!!!:yes: :yes:

anywayz, GOOD LUCK TO OUR BOYS AND HOPE THAT WE CAN THRASH THOSE TIGERS WITH OUR LION POWERS!! GO MAHELA!!:D :D

6. Farveez Maharoof
7. Russell Arnold
