AUS vs SL - Rehearsal for WC Final?One-day internationals Australia by SpeakingCivilised (U4846795) 15 April 2007 Monday's AUS vs SL match might be a rehearsal for WC final. Of the teams already qualified or still in contention for the semifinal spots, these are the only two that had won the Cup before. AUS has thus far played like a world champion and has not been seriously challenged yet. SL has grown in strength as the tournament progressed.

SpeakingCivilised (U4846795) posted Apr 16, 2007 Dazarama, I felt a bit cheated too. Yesterday evening, I spent a few minutes writing this article as a prelude to the match, and wrote about Vaas and Murali as strengths of SL, only to find out in the morning that SL decided to hide them away. Maybe it was tactically right, we will have to agree if SL goes to final and pulls a surprise on AUS; otherwise, it will go down as a mistake.

SpeakingCivilised (U4846795) posted Apr 18, 2007 Now that SL has moved to #3 on the table with their easy win over Ireland, 1-4 order of teams is likely to remain the same. Unless NZ inflicts a massive, unprecedented, damage on Australia (highly unlikely), Australia will remain at #1 and face #4 SA in the semifinal. Comment on this article
