Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
I feel that pitch is flat. Australian bowlers are mostly fast bowlers. It is easier to hit fast bowlers. Most of SL batsmen have good SR. They would not lose anything getting out fighting but in process, they could win. It is only 38 overs to play and survive the hitting. If they really start applying themselves and ride their luck, anything is possible.
dekhtay raho khawab.... all of these logics will evaporate once mcgrath will start the bowling....

This track is the same where South Africa thrashed England. It is similar to what SA and AUS have at home - fast with good bounce. It is not what Sl have at home and they should battle on this wicket.
