Commonwealth Bank Series Feb-Mar 2011/12

Sri Lanka in a better position than the Aussies were coming into the last 5 overs. Thirimanne having the game of his life, Mathews and Perera can both hit a ball, should look to post around 290 from here.
 
Raina gets a wicket first ball.Bowls Perera:eek:

----------

Now Virat Kohli is given to bowl the last over!!:eek:
 
I've no idea what India is planning to do here, particularly the captain, Sehwag. Giving Kohli the last over of the innings is a pathetic decision. If he was thinking of being innovative, which I do appreciate, at least give them a few overs before telling them to bowl such crucial overs.
 
So same story as Sunday game.

None of our batsman are in any sort of form, I don't know how India is going to chase down this target?
 
I don't see India chasing this target. I know Sri Lanka bowling line up is not really strong but is our batting strong enough to chase down this total, without Dhoni? I mean, expecting too much from Sehwag can possibly result in disappointment, it would be great if he makes some runs today but to be honest, he's been below par in this series so far. He has looked nowhere near as the Sehwag, who is known to take any bowling line up in the world apart. Same goes for Sachin, although I'm looking forward to see how he plays today but sadly, I don't see him suddenly getting into form and making a century. Him getting out in the starting overs does nothing but extends the pressure even further. Even if he stays at the pitch for like 15 overs and makes 30 or 40 it should do. Him staying at the crease and playing is itself a motivation to others and they can play their normal game but him getting out early along with Sehwag, is basically game over for India.
 
Sachin will score the 100th ton today! :D

Mate, it's 2:30 A.M. here and just because you are saying that he will score 100th ton, I am about to stay up to watch his innings. Now if he don't than...
 
Don't worry, there is no way that Sachin will score anything less than 100 today!
