Suprised they dropped Kapugedra as he is a good young batsman.

If I was Sri Lankan I'd be disappointed to see Russel Arnold back in the team.

Why do you say that? He has given us and the Aussies a few good hidings in the past.

Just never been that impressed by him and hes the sort of player who despite being around for so long hasnt managed to cement himself in the team and performs once or twice in 10 matches

Surprised with Arnold being included. Otherwise, a reasonably strong squad.

[Rob H]

As expected apart from Silva. Kapugedara is a dashing player who can get things running at the bottom of the order. With the short boundaries he might have been very dangerous.

The pitches will suit them and their top 5 are to die for:

Tharanga, Jayasuria, Jayawardene, Sangakarra, Atapattu

That being said - we can knock them over me thinks.

Arnold may not actually get a game in the 11. He will more or less act as the backup batsmen. They have a strong in-form squad.
