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

[Flame_Blader1]

I don't understand why did they rest Gambhir? He hasn't done much so far on this tour. Sachin I can understand but not Gambhir. I thought they would rest Sehwag since he is now 30+ and has bowled and batted a lot in the 2 test series so far.

Yuvi is rightly back in the ODI line-up. So with him and MSD solid middle order. But still I say SL favourites to take this one. Although a lot depends on the pitch. Dambulla again <_<

I hope the lights problem which occured during the Asia cup has been fixed.

Does this mean Gambhir's injury is serious and that he wont play the 3rd test?

So Dinesh Karthik is certain to get a lot of games since he has to open with Sehwag (Vijay has not been picked). Karthik played a good hand in the Asia Cup final, so not a bad move.

India-New Zealand Final and India to lift the cup.
Mark my words!

Mr. Polonowita's register is very interesting.

The quicker India drop Yuvraj and stick with Raina, the better. He's the future of the Indian middle order, especially with Dravid 37, Tendulkar 37, Laxman 35.

 

[Iridium]

I honestly do hope they keep Raina instead of bringing back Yuvraj. Yes, Raina did score his century on a road but he showed that the has the temprement, and skill and a good attitude for Test cricket. There may be a place for both Yuvraj and Raina (who knows) in the future, but for the here and now, it's got to be Raina.

Why actually Ishant Sharma is there

looks like you forgot the sharma who ripped through the aussies in that CB Series and the border-gavaskar series.

Was there one, I only know one Sharma who is present in Indian test team and ODI team for a year to leak some 20-30 runs extra every match.

 

[ZexyZahid]

So, Gambhir won't play in the 3rd Test, because of his injury. That gives a chance for Vijay to prove himself in the Test scene.

Not sure. The new Cricinfo article says Gambhir has resumed training and is apparently in no discomfort.

I don't know which article you're referring to, but this is the latest article about Gambhir. Harbhajan Singh's appearance is also doubtful.

I don't see any loss since Vijay is going fine and Gambhir is our of form ATM.

Oh, last night Cricinfo said that Gambhir and Sachin have resumed training and are in no apparent discomfort. Now this is news to me. Anyway, not a blow coz Vijay did well in the 2nd test.

Harbhajan not playing might also not hurt us because he hasnt done anything of note this series. Lets see if its Munaf or Mishra to replace Bhajji (if he doesnt play)

Sachin so just ridiculous , Takes some rest from needless cups, then walks into the side for important matches, bang 100, then goes back and relaxes. That has been his style for last year or so. His conversion rate in tests has shot up in last 10 matches or so. If i am not wrong, he has 7 hundreds from last 10 matches.

6 in his last 9 test to be more exact =)

but yea he's been awesome since the NZ tour early 09.

I want to see him play more ODI's though tbh. Not this tri-series. But hopefully his body is fit enough for the ODI's vs Aus and NZ. Tests are priority but if possible I wanna see him in the colored clothing later this year.
