Big deal!!!!

We lost the match against Australia, which was not a very big surprise, but the surprise was that the SL team decided to rest two of their best bowlers, and that's excluding Malinga who's got an injury.

Well, I agree that it was a bit of a surprise, bit too sudden and made me go like "huh?...what?!....why?... ehhh ........ hmmm ...... blank!" But once the news had time to digest, I don't think there's anything really wrong with that move, it's not illegal or anything!! After all that's why there are reserve players in a team.

But what I can't understand is why everybody is so wound up about it. It's understandable that it's a bit of a shock (at first), but to go to the extent of suggesting that match fixing can be involved is taking it waaaaay too far!

Ponting has been complaining too, but then again he has been complaining about practically everything since the tournament started.

And guess who had joined the list now, the captain of Ireland, preparing for the next match with SL "Every team we've played against has put their full-strength side against us, which is a credit to the way we've played our cricket in this tournament."

!!!!!!!!
