Since July 2009 England and Australia have, off the top of my head, met 35 times in all formats.Factoid: In all formats since July 2008, India have played Pakistan twice (not including today), but they've played Sri Lanka 43 times.

FFS, when you first said it in the Pakistan/India match thread I thought you were taking the piss.Worst final ever. We've seen enough ffs. There is not a single thing any of the players could do that would be surprising in the slightest to any other player, the staff, or the viewing public.
What would exactly be the gameplan?
"So boys...do the things we've been doing for the last forty matches."
Fernando should bowl one over, get Sachin out and never bowl again obv.Massively DWTA - the middle/lower middle order of SL has been pretty inconsistent tstl. Indian bowling has improved a LOT and is pretty effective in home conditions. Besides that SL have a dire record in India IIRC.
Fernando? No Duh.
I fear Mendis. Also not looking forward to seeing Kohli and Yuvraj against your spin triumvirate + Dilshan.I hope so. But they seem so reluctant to go with a 6-5 combination, despite the seventh batsmen being so bad. Would be curious to see if Mendis plays as well. He has been bowling well recently.
oh **** i remember that..... don't think i'll ever forget either.Still remember being oh so shattered when he bowled Sachin out in the 07 WC match.
Haunts me to this day. Dilhara wac
And haven't we all been moaning that they've played about three times as many ODIs as they should have done? Besides, two were rained off.Since July 2009 England and Australia have, off the top of my head, met 35 times in all formats.
getting butterflies just by reading it!!!!!Sachin vs Murali for one last time in the world cup final.
Made this prediction around a year back ,so restating it-
Sachin to get his 100th international century in the world cup final ,playing in the ground he has almost literally grown up in. - The Wankhede.
Don't think Tendulkar will retire from ODI's even if we win, he will continue on a bit more like Punter.What a matchup. Tendulkar Vs. Murali in Murali's and possibly Tendulkar's last ODI international.
He will definetly think of retiring soon as he finally got the missing trophy for his cabinet and that will give him satisfaction enough and will start to make way for younger players .Don't think Tendulkar will retire from ODI's even if we win, he will continue on a bit more like Punter.
Both have previously done well against India.Mathews not likely for Saturday, and with him are only lower order bat.
"Despite the injury Angelo sustained while fielding, he is still with us, though on the face of it he would need a miraculous recovery to be able to play on Saturday in the Final." per Mahela
Silva and Kapu in same playing XI:sick:
The Kargil War has been won ,time for the Ramayana now.
