Commonwealth Bank Series Feb-Mar 2011/12

Now that is just trolling. Anyone can bring videos out of any match.

Not trolling, just pointing out to anyone that's only followed cricket since the world cup, that India has as many black marks against them as any other team. Can't say they "always" play fair now.

Want me to put out a whole list of Aussies..spirit of Cricket?

You can do that if you like, but I never said we don't have our share of controversies.

Remember when Clarke said he wanted a CLEAN series. He got that in the Tests, but what the hell happened to it in the ODIs?

Great partnership here by the Lankans, good to see Dilshan and Sanga kicking on after all their starts this series. They've hit peak form at just the right time and we're in for some competitive matches finally.

Funny to see India going with the same under performing line-up. Sehwag's golden arm not paying off on this occasion, Yadav going for his typical run-a-ball with 0 wickets. Should be the first 300+ score of the series.

Time to drop Dhoni off the captaincy. His captaincy has totally lost it. His decisions are truly baffling to say the least. If Sri Lanka can be rejuvenated by the captaincy change to Mahela, India might also get something positive out of a captaincy change. Either give it to Kohli or give it to Gambhir.

Sehwag, Sachin, Gambhir, Zaheer and Ashwin are pulling down India's fielding considerably. Dhoni was right in that the top 3 slow India down on the field. This is the second consecutive match where Sachin doesnt go for a catch thats perfectly possible even for a decent fielder.

200 run partnership comes up and finally a wicket falls. Forrest gets some company in the centurions list, well played by Dilshan and Sanga.

320 from 240 balls!? Yea sure, why not.

I think its Zaheer, Ashwin and Yadav who are slow on the field, Sehwag, Sachin and Gambhir are decent enough fielders and I don't see their fielding having any negative impact on the team.

Interesting knock by Dilshan last I saw of him he was striking at 70.

It looks like a Sri Lankan bonus point rather than an Indian one at the moment.

Excellent batting by Sanga and Dilshan. Amazing to see how fit Dilshan is despite staying till end and running very fast, not a hint of cramps.

Indian bowlers has been listless to say the least. Spinners bowled short and wide while fasties were bowling to the pads. Also Indian fielding was generally slow. Especially Sachin and Gambhir. Zaheer was simply unfit.

India going above the required rate so far. Tendulkar and Sehwag both racing to the 20's. Looks like a good night for the 100th tonne.

 

[SaiSrini]

Issue with the floodlight could cause confusions as far as bonus point calculation goes. How much should India score at 20 overs to get the bonus point (if the lights stays off forever)?

Shastri stuck in a lift with 7 people at the ground.

You just get that feeling this is a pressure cooker situation

 

[Sedition]

Well, Sehwag gone, but it's the best he's looked all series with a quickfire 30. Up to Kohli, Gambhir and Tendulkar to make those tonnes.

Jinx progress increased by 20%

Hope the floodlight comes back in. I dont want a curtailed match.
