Of course there is the Murali factor, but the English bats are pretty good players of spin these days. They would want to win the toss and bat first though, that's for sure. |
That's going to be the key. If we can get on top of Vaas and Fernando (or if he plays Bandara) early on in the piece it will take a hell of a lot of the pressure off the batsmen when they come to face Murali and both Jayasuria and the new look opening pair look fallible if the quicks are actually capable of landing it on the cut strip. Though I just fear we're so underdone that it'll take us a couple of days to get into the match by which time the games gone and the series with it.
(And just in case he attempts it before I next post if KP tries a reverse hit off Murali at any stage in the match he should be flogged, stripped of his MBE and not allowed back in the country)
