Sri lankan game was well Planned! I stress on WAS (to be explained later;o).
1. First challange was to beat India... They Kept Murli and Malinga out of the team that played in India and Intentionally lost the series. It Worked and they surprised India in WC.
2. They played well in all other games, lost to SA which is a better team on flat pitches. Won against all other teams simply because others were not as good.
3. Intentioanlly lost agaist AUS by keeping Vaas, Murli, and Malinga out. Not a Bad ploy!
4. Now, I am pretty sure Aus will beat SA (remember no luck in this world cup - only performance)
5. So the Final will be SL vs AUS. There is No doubt Lankan Bowling.. It is Strongest today and Similary Australian Batting is strongest.
6. So this Game will be a Test of Bolwers against Batsmen... Interesting!!!!
7. Now, what can happen...
a) According to experts... Barbados is a Batting Pitch (India could have been dangerous).
b) Moody will become Vibhishan and give Lankan Secrets to Aussies.
c) Lanka will loose and Gavaskar Will write another article on Coaches :D

team india defeated same SL team 6-1 some times ago team ind WC debacle b'cuz some senior players betrayed captain, team and millions of fans by playing back stage politicsVery easy to blame captain, What about other 10 players players%u2019s the lack of commtiment , lack of passion to win/perform, , poor body languge or groupism or petty politics played against captain and coach spending time in crease for sponsers cause, playing for self records, many players think they are leaders and not to led by skipper, superstar attitude .. lankans are playing as one unit and no players are backfiring captain... Matching orders for team india http://worldcup.indiatimes.com/quickiearticleshow/msid-1807338.cms
