Sanath Jaisurya the blaster, was out on 6 and India could not win the match against Srilanka.India missed the golden opportunity.It is very difficult to defeat Srilanka if Sanath Jaisurya is hitting like rockets.Sanath Jaisurya is a class batsman with brain and when he gets goin, Srilanka can defeat Australia also and he showed it in Sydney when he made century and defeated them.Srilanka was playing with its full strength and our Kumble (Bhishm Pitamah) and Pathan (all rounder) were watching with anxiety.I don;t understand why Pathan was not included in that crucial match.Quality of all rounder is that he will definitely click either with bat or ball.Sometimes with both and he can be a match winner.I can't believe even today what Vengsarkar and others were doing.

You Know,the body language of Jayasurya,Sangakara & Jayawardene against match India was favouarable to India.Otherwise they will not got out for so cheaply after facing so many balls.Again Sangakara dropped one easy catch also.But these buggers failed to utilise that golden opportunity.

you are absolutely right when you said that we missed a golden opportunity even after dismissing jaysuraiya for just 6 ,but this is what indians are known for "missing opportunity at the crucial time". I had been telling my friends that if sanath jayasuriya is back in action in this world cup he can be dangerous to the extent of beating any damn team . He is a match winner , look what difference he makes to his team when he fires rocket . I had predicted that this times its going to be not australia but srilanka to snatch away world cup because they play real professional cricket . cheers srilanka! good luck sanath

I agree with you. Certainly the present captain is headless and still he is given a title of cool headed and what not. I would say he is thickheaded. I too could not understand why Pathan, particularly, was left of three matches that India played, and I always felt that he would stand and face for India in the situation of crisis and also score runs. I think Dravid is has a selfish mind and partiality, only for this reason he included Sehwag in the matches India played, and Uttapa for being from his native state. All this happens in a world cup, the most important event every player looks forward to. I think this was the reason players like TEndulkar were depressed and let to underperformance on their part, becuase people above the order and above him just failed every time.
I think if Tendulkar decides to come out of the present team, he will have a best alternative under Zee's team, to lead, and I know he will reach many more milestones.
We have to accept that at least the present captain of our team has tail, among them who have not possess head and tail both.
We don%u2019t know how and where our hatred leads us. Our home sickness, slenderness to caste, creed, and religion day by day grabbing us and pushing far too where we can%u2019t imagine.

In 1996 world cup semifinal both Jayasurya and Kaluwitharna were out in the first over itself..still we lost the game.
