India's Tour Of Sri Lanka Jul-Aug 2012

[SaiSrini]

Hope its Raina's day today. This would be a big boost for him if he plays a match winning knock today.

catches wins the matches there raina's catch was dropped there surely his wicket could have sealed the game for sri lanka there

If only Dilshan was there

 

[Ahmad94]

Game totally in India's hand, with a required run rate of 8, in the last few overs the IPL should have prepared them for this

 

[Fenil]

Who is keeping wickets at the moment, Chandimal? I heard that Sanga is injured.

----------

4 overs, 31 runs. Malinga has got 2 left. I think Srilanka has a very good chance to win this.

i'm also not watching,i think chandimal is keeping,or even tharanga or dilshan
Raina & pathan putted this match back on track,India shold win from here

 

[SaiSrini]

The game is now India's to lose from here.

 

[Epic]

They have gone a lot better with 286, thanks to Matthews and Mendis for a strong finish

Looks like it wasn't enough.

----------

Highest successful chase by any team in SL, nice.

 

[Shreevatsa]

India won by 5 wickets with 2 balls to spare

 

[Ahmad94]

Well played India, I have no shame in saying that Indian are one of the best at chasing a total down, had that been Pakistan they wouldn't have got past 200

 

[Gurjot95]

This series is boring as hell.

 

[Epic]

Think it's time to drop Rohit now, it's obviously not going his way and a bit of time off the field will do him some good I think.

----------

This series is boring as hell.

Well ofc, we seem to be playing them every 3 months.

Close game, good inns from Gautam and a great knock by Raina down the order. Sri Lanka did well and shouldve won the game but some decisions went against the tigers which may have cost them this game, disgusting bowling from India after 20/3 to 286, Bangladesh wouldve bowled better. Anyway India takes the lead in the series 2-1.

 

[Ahmad94]

Have to say, India had a lot of luck with all the edges going for fours, Malinga looked off song early on and near the end at times

Decision went against them? Are you on drugs? This pitch had absoulutely nothing in it. There was some movement early in the game with new ball but otherwise it was road. So India surely would have been disappointed that they had them for 20-3 and let them reach to 286 but you exaggerate way too much.

Well that is an excuse we often here from the losing side. They got edges at the end of Sri Lankan innings as well but that does not mean we will complain about it. It is frustrating to see but at the end, it is part of the game and you can't do anything about it.

Good win for India especially with Irfan getting some runs. I am not sure about Rohit. He got a good ball this game but now it looks hard for him to stay in the team.
