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

[SaiSrini]

You don't get that run rate in ODIs at Sei Lanka.

Must been pancake of wicket

Maybe at Dambulla, YES. But isnt Premadasa and SSC better ODI batting wickets?

 

[shravi]

Ok, maybe it's a flat pitch but seriously, some damage control is needed here. Runs are being leaked far too easily here.

 

[SaiSrini]

BP XI of Sri Lanka are currently scoring at 5.26 runs per over. Insanely high run rates these are for a 3-4 day game. If wickets are like this for the test series, apart from a few hundreds by the Indian batsmen (that too in highlights), I wont watch this series at all. Ridiculous! It might be a mega yawn.

 

[ZexyZahid]

If Sri Lanka Board tried their best, they could have won this match. They've got now a lead of 437 runs with 44 overs remaining. No use of keep batting, unlike they want to tire the Indian bowlers.

Maybe they are waiting for Thirimanne getting his century and then will declare.

Indian's were really outplayed!!

Ojha,Yuvraj & Gambhir real positives for India rest all flop flop flop!!

Ishant if you do not deliver then I will kill you for sure

 

[SciD]

I expect 1000 runs being scored by SL in first innings in one of test matches. Jayawardena will break score for highest test score.

 

[SaiSrini]

Ojha has been very impressive. Must clear all doubts for Dhoni and he should include Ojha along with Harbhajan instead of Mishra. Hope Yuvi continues with the form from here.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

I hope our batting clicks. Mendis will not be a worry factor from the proper test series onwards.

Dhoni buck up mate, and retain the test no 1 status as well as break the history of defeating Srilanka in Srilanka!!

India won already a Test series in Sri Lanka against Sri Lanka in 1993 by 1-0.

Yes I got to know that an hour ago

Is Badrianth injured?. If not why isn't in the Indian squad here?

Because he didnt create a big impact in the tests vs SA. Also age is not on his side, so he will continue to be less favored over others. If he has to stay in the team for long, he has to click really big, which is unfair on him but thats how Indian cricket works.

Thats terrible thinking if that really how Indian cricket works. Age really should be issue when it comes to picking your best players. AUS with the likes of Hussey, North, Clark, Katich doing well after debuting in the their late 20s/early 30s proves this.

There cant be any other reason for Badri not picked. He is not injured for sure. In Indian cricket, the older you get, the tougher it is for you to play unless you are a Tendulkar or a Dravid or a Ganguly.

Finally the has come hope Indians are ready
