Speaking of struggling...spare a thought for the poor commentators who have to wrap their tongues around the unpronouncable names that are longer than their runups!

The lack of response is defining

Sri Lanka have lost nine of their last ten one dayers. They used to be a good side in the shortened version of the game a few years back. They'll be fodder this season.

Fodder is the word going around at the moment in regards to there batting. But bowling wise, what do you guys see. Vaas, Murlie and Malinga (well sort of) i think are there best bowlers. On Aussie pitches i would say only Murlie would be a problem. So lambs to the slaughter?

Well batting must be fragile, they elected to field, could be chasing a bit. But thats ok, they like chasing :?
