What is the difference between Man of the series and player of the series when only men played the total series?
India's Tour Of Sri Lanka Jul-Aug 2012

Excellent series for India. We showed we were the better team by far. We won chasing, and we won defending.
One major positive for India from this series is the spirited comeback of Irfan Pathan. Today, he picked up 5 wickets and he has also batted really well through this series. He is now a sure shot selection for the T20 World Cup. It was bad on Dhoni's part to prolong Rohit's misery further and play with 7 batsman just to give Rohit undeserving chances. Another spinner could have played. Tiwary and the likes are not going to click always.
Great job by Tiwary too to get a good score. Hope he has hastened the exit of Rohit Sharma for quite sometime now. With this poor run, Rohit's test chances should also hopefully take a beating. Hope India take the T20 game seriously and use it as preparation for the T20 WC tournament.

First of all, when will this Olympics end... Nowadays in the sports pages of newspapers, I have to search for Cricket news and scores 
....all over its Olympic news....
they will put Cricket news in some corner.....
The ICC should have had the T20 WC at this time itself and showed that Cricket is the BOSS....

I am actually very thankful that this useless series finally came to end. I am happy that newspaper actually gives priority to Olympics than Cricket.
Reason why Indians don't take interest in other sports than cricket resulting in no medals in Olympics. I hope for India sports sake, not everyone thinks like you.

Thats Cricket craze in this nation for you....
You ask any kid to name 11 hockey players...they will go blank right after a couple of names...but you ask the same kid to name 11 Indian cricket players...he will name 100's of them...thats Cricket for you....No Kapil...No Gavaskar...No Sachin...No Dhoni asked the Indians to follow the game...its by their gameplay they attracted people to this game...
Thats CRICKET for you....

no, that's stupidity.
If India wants to progress in other sports as well, we people have act and starts caring about other games too. Months before the Olympics gets started, we starts to predict India medal table and after it ends, everyone just says another disappointing Olympic year, better watch cricket instead. We blame our athletes when we should actually blame ourselves for always preferring cricket over all other sports. India is no backward country and can easily grab medals if taken care for other sports as shown by the Indian athletes in this and previous Olympics. No kid even knows a bit about other sports. It's time that we actually shifts our priority and respect the athletes who made India proud even though knowing they will earn **** comparing to cricket. Ever thought that India wouldn't even have qualified for Olympics if everyone starts thinking like you?

So go to your Olympic forum then...why are you posting here?
Exactly, here in Australia we are suffering too. Fans turn over to the Olympics every 4 years and expect to see X amount of gold medals - like they just happen automatically. Trouble is that no one is really interested in these sports outside Olympic time, it makes it hard to recruit the best athletes.

155....
Somewhat I am not happy with this score..... that Rahane and Dhoni should have scored 10-15 runs more than what they did....so totally 25 runs short....

very bad finish in the end from india with that flying start which they got from kohli. Lankan bowler to bowled really well in the end also spinners slowed down the runs. I hope indian bowlers get the dilshan's wicket quickly and put some early pressure on them
Dhoni played with that injury he got from the last game. Don't we have a backup keeper in the squad? Dhoni probably was the reason why we didn't end up with a 160+ score here. As much as I love Kohli these days, he should get out in a T20 match when there are 5 more overs to go in the innings. He gets runs at a very good pace, but still in the final overs when the thundering and big hits are needed, he doesn't seem to get them out in place.
