Indian Tour of Sri Lanka & Triangular Series, July-August 2010

[Iridium]

Ryder has to wait till he's 100% fit, not 95% cause he's bound to hurt himself again. Big loss but as Howsie said a good chance to test our depth and see Williamson in action.

 

[-D-S-B-]

Ryder should really stop playing cricket, he is just so not fit enough.

Yeah he's hurt his elbow, he obviously isn't fit enough. But that doesn't mean he should quit cricket, that's quite a foolish statement to make as he is our second or third best batsman when he is fit. Too much lifting that beer bottle up to his mouth has injured his elbow

 

[Insomniac]

I'm going to miss Murali's squealing

 

[Chewie]

I suppose it'd be Redmond to take his place? Opener for opener

But he is just injuring himself on every single tour. I would rather give someone else a chance to cement his place in the side than just waiting for Ryder to come in and whack a quickfire 50 and injure himself again.

 

[Mike23]

Yet another 5 fer for Murali, hope he get's the 3 wickets required.

 

[TumTum]

Great bowling by Murali, will miss his unique (all be it controversial) bowling action.

 

[pcfan123]

Sanga will be crucified if he does not enforce the follow on and Murali ends up not getting his 800.

India are a disgrace, we will kick their asses.

Or he's still feeling the effects of smashing that toilet window.

I have to be honest, I thought Murali would get carted to parts of the ground and pick up 1 wicket. Didn't think he would pick up a 5fer and get India under some real pressure.

 

[pcfan123]

I read that when the paramedics came to help him he said "you know who I am? I am NZ cricket!"

:laugh what a legend

 

[Mike23]

Malinga you beauty!!

 

[pcfan123]

Wow that was a beauty, can't really blame Gambhir, his poor form continues

 

[Iridium]

At least Gambhir lasted longer than he did in the 1st innings. :laugh

We who? Australia? You were thrashed 2-0 last time you toured us, and I dont want to rake up the SCG gate that happened when we toured last time (along with that Perth win). Good that these tests are helping India find a good backup option when Zaheer is not around. Good for us! Also had we batted first here, we would have been almost exactly in the opposite position. On batting turners like this, if you bat first and rake up a big score, it becomes next to impossible for the opposition to claw back into the game unless they do something miraculous.
