Tough one, given the evolving fitness situation.  But I'd go for the following:\n\n1. Trescothick\n2. Strauss\n3. Bell\n4. Pietersen\n5. Collingwood\n6. Flintoff (c)\n7. G. Jones (wk)\n8. Plunkett\n9. Hoggard\n10. Mahmood\n11. Panesar\n\nI must admit that I'm uncomfortable with such an inexperienced bowling line-up, but I prefer to give the youngsters the experience and the chance to show what they are made of, rather than either risk Simon Jones too early in his recovery or go back to experienced county players who can fill a hole but don't have an international future.

I would like to drop virender sehwag.He is not in a good form.Ganguly should be in the team and should open the innings with uthhapa.

M.S.Dhoni. I am an Indian. So obviously i would support for him. He is the "Gilchrist" of Indian cricket team. All the best to India in World cup 2007 !!

Difficult host country as the West Indian pitches will not offer much support to Sri Lankan bowlers Murali and Bandari.  Good batting pitches will assist the sometimes brittle Sri Lankan batting.  With Bangladesh beating Australia in a ODI game last year and South Africa beating Australia last week it shows any team can get some form and win games so they are in with a chance.  They are still waiting to discover the next generation of batsmen and rely far too much on oldies like Jayasuriya and Attapattu.

I think it will eventually end up being a battle of endurance.Both teams have proven their mattle.It will be a treat to watch & the outcome will be determined perhaps by the mental toughness.I don,t have a clue who will win,all I know is that I can,t wait for the 2nd test to begin.

Sri Lanka\nAustralia and India wont be playing in Semi-Final. \nEverything is fixed... starting from runs scored and wickets taken as in would be played in INDIA

Well I hope not Australia because it seems to much like Schumacher and F1!!!I think West Indies have a good chance because they have good team, they have the home advantage and they might just pull out a surprise!!!I also think New Zealand is looking very dangerous and if SA can get some consistancy they stand a good chance!!!!

You be a captain of India for one test and then you will understand  my problems. Bhajji is a good bowler but the pitch does not help the off spinner. Kumble is a better choice on a bouncy wicket. The combination of the team is not entirely decided by me , Mr.Greg Chappel also has his say.\nDon't worry this test we will win!!

The is best survived match for Sri Lanka, that they never forgot. Tail enders must feel proud of their heroics. England has to think about second spinner who can get some wickets when the team badly need it.\n\nAnd I don't have no clue why this question has been asked twice by the same person in same minute

It´s Sri Lanka. They beat India in year 1979, whereas: Sri Lanka got the Test status in year 1983. Sri lanka won the match, quite comprehensively, by 47 runs.\n\nNote: It was also Sri Lanka´s 1st ever win in ODIs.\n\nRawal.
