We've got a world class left-armer (Chaminda Vaas) to open the bowling who hits the right areas more often than anybody. You back that up with Murali (Muttiah Muralitharan) and we have a lot of attacking options. It has actually improved our game a lot overall,"

not impressed at all. are SL tough? of course, in fact, they are the team to beat in group B. but lets see how SL's bowlers do against indian batsman.

they have 3 guys that bowl 140 k, but maharoof is hot-cold, and fernando hasn't done anything lately. of course you can never count them out, but we aren't facing lee, mcgrath, pollock, or asif.

malinga is the only guy that scares me, but he could go for 60 runs in any given spell. vaas has lost much of his luster, and the last few times we've faced murali, he's been quite ordinary (2-40 is not exactly terrorism).

with all that being said, even if we beat india, i expect us to be soundly beaten by SL. but we are also capable of beating SL though they are a much better outfit than we are.
