Will Sri Lanka play or lie down? They're through to the final, which in an unpredictable tournament like this is a bit of a surprise. If India win today, it takes the pressure of them for tomorrow's grudge match against the might of Bangladesh.

How many f*king ODIs will they have in this 'competition'?

I better get out of this thread before I fall into my anti-cricket funk of last year.

Even the thought of so many ODIs - we just played SL FFS - makes my head hurt. Literally.

But this one must mean something surely? Please, won't somebody think of the children.

I am sure there must be some logic and a good for the game gesture somewhere in there for playing the Lankans in 20 ODIs in 1 and a half years. Rahul Dravid's side playing 11 ODIs with them in 2005-2006 season alone was probably a dress rehearsal to some great main event unfolding now...
