Colombo: Sri Lanka selectors are considering using three slow bowlers against England in the World Cup quarterfinals — a tactic initially devised for the group game against defending champion Australia.
Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis and left-arm spinner Rangana Herath could all pose a tough challenge for the English batsmen on Saturday on a R. Premadasa Stadium wicket which tends to keep low and slow.

Is there a rule in place that threads can be opened only three days prior to the game? :thinking loudly:

Its possible, Eng have beaten SA, tied with India, so they do have potential but they have become erratic like Pakistan so it depends on their mindset when they enter the ground that day.

SL spinners will be just too much to handle for England
Re: 4th Quarter-Final: Sri Lanka v England at Colombo, Sat March 26
Although anything is possible in ODI, I can’t see England winning against Sri Lanka either

I don’t know what it is, but I am smelling a big upset by England.

Based on 20/20 hindsight, relieved Sri Lanka was not our opponent in quarters (backpedaling all the way).
Good luck Sri Lanka.
Wonder if Sri Lanka could win it all amid the India-Pak hyperbola
