Jayasuriya tries to consign Nairobi humiliation to history
**
Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya hopes his side will consign the bitter memories of their shock defeat to history and approach their important clash against the West Indies positively.
Sri Lanka’s World Cup aspirations were dealt a heavy blow by the Nairobi loss earlier in the week and the former world champions are now fighting for a place in the second round.
A win against Carl Hooper’s side on Friday is not essential but failure against the hosts South Africa in Durban on Monday night will condemn them to an early trip home.
Should they win against West Indies and then lose to South Africa - assuming Kenya beat Bangladesh - their fate will be decided by net run rate.
“We shouldn’t put ourselves under pressure because we lost to Kenya,” said Jayasuriya at the team’s final training session in Cape Town on Thursday. “We have to go with our minds fresh and lift ourselves.”
“We are experienced enough to come out of it. We can play a better game than the other day. It all depends on how we approach the game. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. We never expected to lose to Kenya. But such things happen. It is history now,” said Jayasuriya.
“If we can get our basics right we should be successful against the West Indies. The other day we didn’t do the basics well. We lagged behind in our fielding, bowling and batting,” he said.
Coach Dav Whatmore admitted that complacency had cost Sri Lanka dear against Kenya but hoped the result would provide the side a necessary jolt before their key games.
“Clearly we took them lightly,” admitted Whatmore. "Immediately afterwards we had a good meeting. The boys were very disappointed and have taken responsibility.
"I am sure there isn’t going to be any complacency on Friday night as the West Indies are a good side. They will be fighting like cats to survive. We are really going to focus on what we can do.
"We are really keen to turn it around and put our best foot forward again. With hindsight, perhaps it was a good thing to have happened.
" We can rise to the occasion. If we don’t, there’s no point playing the game. I know we are good enough…we have just got to be able to put it together on the night," he said.
Sri Lanka will be at full strength after injured fast bowler Pulasthi Gunaratne passed a fitness test, bowling at full pace in the nets without pain from his fractured finger.
The 28-year-old, who will wear a protective plaster over the injury when fielding, is expected to come back into the side in place of Prabath Nissanka.
West Indies started the tournament brilliantly, winning against the hosts under the Newlands lights after a masterful century from Brian Lara.
However, since then, they have struggled, losing to New Zealand and then sharing points against Bangladesh in a rain-affected match.
They were then given a fright by the tournament minnows Canada as John Davison smashed the fastest ever World Cup century.
“If we had any thoughts or complacency about how tough it’s going to be for the next couple of weeks, I think the game against Canada was a good wake-up call for us,” said West Indies captain Carl Hooper.
“If we thought for a minute that it was going to be a piece of cake to beat Sri Lanka…then maybe we should sit down and check our attitudes and the way we are approaching the one-day game.”

Sri Lanka virtually assured themselves of qualification for the World Cup’s Super Six after a six-run win over West Indies, who are almost certainly out.
Chasing a victory target of 229, West Indies finished on 222 for nine from their 50 overs.
They refused to give up even at 122 for six - effectively seven with Ramnaresh Sarwan in hospital after being hit in the head - and needed 14 off the last over bowled by Pulasthi Gunaratne.
A 47-run partnership by Vasbert Drakes and Shivnarine Chanderpaul for the seventh wicket kept West Indies in the match.
But the inspiration came when Chanderpaul was dismissed for 65 - a knock which contained six fours and came off 90 balls.
Sarwan, who had just returned to the ground after receiving stitches at a Claremont private hospital after Dilhara Fernando hit him behind the left ear, strode to the crease to a standing ovation from the Newlands crowd.
Amazingly he started hitting the Sri Lankan spinners to all parts of the ground, taking 14 runs off one Sanath Jayasuriya.
But despite a gutsy 47 off 43 balls, including two sixes and four fours, his team were beaten thanks to another starring role from Chaminda Vaas, who took four for 22 from his 10 overs.
His first spell of two for 14 in seven overs contained the crucial wicket of Brian Lara (1) and Wavell Hinds (2).
But he virtually sealed the win - and qualification for the next stage with the second over of his second spell (his ninth) when he took the wickets of Chris Gayle (55) and Ridley Jacobs (0) in four balls.
Earlier, the West Indies had produced a disciplined effort in the field to keep their target under the lights to a manageable one.
It could also have been worse for Sri Lanka were it not for a 50-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Vaas (28 not out) and Russel Arnold (34 not out).
The Sri Lankan middle-order wasted a good platform laid by Sanath Jayasuriya and Hashan Tillekeratne.
After reaching 96 for one, the Sri Lankans lost their next four wickets for the addition of only 43 runs. More importantly, it took them over 12 overs to get those 43 runs.
Jayasuriya’s innings finally came to an end in the 36th over when Shivnarine Chanderpaul caught him on the midwicket boundary for 66 off the bowling of Gayle.

this really strikes as odd. Ah! the wonders of match forfeitures! :)
IT happened again. This time it was Westindies turn to suffer. They bat second in Capetown and struggled big time. The reason WI took the game to the end coz Fernando and Gunaraten the other two seamers are not that good seam bowlers. ITs high time ICC considers it otherwise it will be a fluke for a team batting second to win under lights.
P.S i am really sad to see WI bowing out of the cup this way. Anything over 200 uner lights is very very difficult. Any day time, this would have been a peace of cake for windies. coz Lankans didnt bat well in perfect batting conditions.

So Windies are almost out. Unles Windies beats KENYA and 2 of this happens...
CANADA beats NZL Highly unlikely
BANG beats KEN Highly unlikely
SL beats SA Can happen
I would say ..Chances are really really low.
Windies have been very unlucky in this tournament.
First beating South Africa, they should just get the go to super 6 just for winning that match. But the rain against Bangladesh decreased their chances.
I'm preety sure South Africa will end up beating Sri Lanka.
They will have 16 points.
Kenya will beat Bangladesh but will lose to Windies.
They will have 16 points.
New Zealnd will beat Canada.
They will have 16 points.
And even if Windies win, they will have 14 points, so they are out.
But if it wasn't for the rain, they probably would have qualify given that they would have had 16 points and a victory over South Africa would have given them the nod.
Just wanna pay my respects to Ramnaresh Sarwan, the young WI batsman. He got hit on the head by a freak delivery under lights and was knocked unconscious which probably cost the Windies the match. He went to hospital, came back and nearly won the game in impossible circumstances batting with no support.
Windies are out thanks to their match rained off with Bangladesh which they were on course to win and having to bat under lights today. I feel really bad for them today.
What a stroke of bad luck poor windies got painted with…thanks to bad calling on jacobs by orchard…a true turnpoint of the game. Their fielding on the other hand was very ordinary or they could have easily kept sri lanka under 200 since they were still in shock from their kenya defeat. Anyway sarwan’s valiant and ballsy effort after getting his senses knocked out to keep the boat afloat and almost sailing it to victory was very commendable. :k: Truly a great team to watch, wish them best of luck in the future.
Certainly one of the most exciting last overs of a match, that I have ever seen in my life.
Respect to the WI team. From a hopeless position they managed to bring the match back to an end, with as much suspense as one could imagine. Although Vaas took 4 wickets, I think Sarwan should have been declared Man of the Match!

dude dont forget Vass's rapid fire 28 runs off 25 balls to take SL to a reasonable score.
I watched the replay of the Windies vs Sri Lanka match, and I saw Sarwan's innings. It wasn't as good as everyone said it was, it was very similiar to the way Shoaib batted against England.
Kenya beat BD. :k:
Good job Kenya. Despite of negative run rate, they are in the Super Sixes. 
Kiwis can only blame themselves for not playing against Kenyans.
South Africa vs Srilanka clash will be exciting; and worth to watch!
I’m counting on Zulu’s fire work.
