michael holding said srilanka lost 2 aus intensionally.they hd rested murali,vaas,malinga in tht crucial game.bt the fact is tht they jus wanted 2 loose frm aus easily.if they hd rested thm vs aus..thn why played vs ireland????thts a main reason 2 consider.sl thought ..if bychance they would win vs aus..n NZ beats aus..thn they hv 2 play against aus in semi.so thts a big gamble by SL.if yesterday nz would hv won..still sl would nt play vs aus..bcoz accordin 2 net runrate..the aus would b no.1. wat say guys

Hey baby.....SL did a smart thing by resing them the reason being that they know that they are gonna face Aus at some point in the semis..so let think of it in this way.....Sl did not want to "unleash" their bowling strength and AUS wouldn't have practice facing them..well done SL and Moody
