What am I thinking now?

It's a big game today. Srilanka Vs Australia and same thoughts are lingering in my mind again. If Srilanka can bat first and post a huge total then ...

Yes! I think that's the only way any team can beat Aussies in their current form. I guess form doesn't really apply to them, they always play well. Form is what is required for Indian cricket players to play well!

This is what Murali had to say about the big match (source BBC)
"This could be the biggest moment in my life. In 1996 I was very young and didn't know much, Now I know about what it takes to win a World Cup. This must be my last World Cup and if we can win it will be the greatest moment in my life - more than my individual records."

And this what McGrath had to say (source BBC)
"I've got a lot of memories here in Barbados. This is where I took my first five-for in international cricket. To me a perfect way to finish would be another five-for, a win, walk off and happy days"
Asked to single out the best batsman he has faced, McGrath gave Brian Lara of West Indies the edge over India's Sachin Tendulkar.
"Obviously the two stand-outs are Brian and Sachin and I feel from bowling to those two guys that probably Brian was slightly in front of Sachin when they were at their peaks," he said.
He nominated West Indies great Curtly Ambrose and former Pakistan left-armer Wasim Akram as the bowlers he most admired.
