Question

Full sri lankan side?

Answer 1

it was wrong move

Answer 2

I guess they had to grab at everything they could to win, but I always knew S.Lanka could win & they did.

Edit, looking back through your Qs here today, I see i'm the only one who's answered them! lol

Answer 3

they wanted to give themselves biggest chance of winning

Answer 4

they put extra batsman in the final coz they knew that mendis is gonna be new and from past matched against other teams they knew that mendis has done very well so they made sure that they have no weakness but since they ve neva bat for mendis's balls they were not ready

Answer 5

I don't dislike the idea of playing 7 batsmen plus all rounder in Irfan Pathan, because the bowlers did the job and restricted SL to under 300 ...

Having said that, if 6 batsmen are not going to win you matches, one extra batsmen will not make a major difference either !

Answer 6

they knew the Mendis storm was coming, which swept them away.
