So Shane Bond didn’t play against Australia, apparently he developed a ‘stomach flu’ at the last minute. Neither did Jacob Oram who had problems with his ‘heel’ but of course the latter will be ‘fully fit’ for the semi final. And I’m willing to bet my left nut Shane Bond will be too. Where are the agonized screams of match fixing? Just another good ol’ day of double standards in the world of cricket.
P.S. Read this article by Kumar Sangakkara, excellent that we have such and eloquent writer in our team when even people like Ranatunge are letting us down and talking crap.
Oh no New Zealand would never resort to such despicable strategic ploys…after all it’s only the Sri Lankans who are afraid of losing to the mighty Australians! (my eyes are rolling so much they’re about to pop out of their sockets)
I think Sanga hit the nail on the head with this comment:
“Some of the critics appear to think that the Australia game was our most important game in the tournament. Why - just because we were playing Australia?”

conveniently wiered isn’t it ?? it’s our team decision that turned out controversial. Hope our Lion boys will get a chance to teach the kanga-kiri-cutters a another lesson (after a decade) adeyyy…Sanga, right you are boy…. he shud do the talk. also, I have a feeling we’ll never remember this mighty Aussie team as a great one Like we cherish the Legendary West Indian (Clive Lloyd’s) team of the good old days. Something ain’t right!!
