    3rd ODI v Sri Lanka at RPS - Feb 03, 2009
    Match scheduled to begin at 14:30 local time (09:00 GMT)
    [hr]


    Sri Lankan Squad:
    [hr]
    Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Sanath Jayasuriya, Upul Tharanga, Chamara Kapugedera, Jehan Mubarak, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Thilina Kandamby, Muthiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis, Farveez Maharoof, Dilhara Fernando, Nuwan Kulasekara, Thilan Thushara, Angelo Mathews.

    [hr]

    Series decider:

    Sri Lanka have lost 2 games in a raw and this 3rd ODI will be the decider for us to see if we could hang in there. If we were to lose this game, India takes the series 3 - 0 and the rest of the games would be pretty lame.

    Mahela's captaincy is questioned in the last game specially using Expensive Mirando at the death overs. He would have used either Sanath or Dilshan.. As a result India were able to to score over 250. Also he should reconsider his current field setting for Mendis and Murali. I would always go with a silly mid-on, close slip and a gully for both these bowlers. He would have easily remove Yuvraj who went on to score 66 runs. Both these bowlers are not just ordinary spin bowlers. Mahela should play with that mentality and always put pressure on the new batsman at the crease..

    Dhoni was quite annoyed for letting the last match get so close. Hope they dont make mistakes this time.

    Agreed with this. He gave 11 runs in his final death over. If sana or dilshan bowled at that stage we could restrict them around 245-250 mark.

    no offence to all u Dilshan supporters, but now we know how useless he is against quality opposition. He's been having fun hit&giggle times against minnows, but against quality teams we really need quality openers.

    So we can, i dunno, bring in Tharanga perhaps?
    I AM THE UPUL THARANGA!!!

    Upul Tharanga ~ BaK StroNgeR anD BaddEr ThAn EvEr!!! (and by BaddEr, i mean more aggressiver!!!)
