India's Tour of Sri Lanka

[Cricketman]

We're almost 300 ahead on a fourth day track in Sri Lanka. We have two world class spinners in our armoury.

I think it was a good enough time to go out and have a slog

 

[pal]

I'm pretty sure he was given orders to attack from the beginning. All the batsmen so far have looked to score runs quickly and have fallen quickly.

 

[khalek]

Ganguly gone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Murali strikes again!!!!!! Poor batting!!!

 

[Will_NA]

To be fair, he it was a good ploy to go after the bowling and build a score quickly and he would have had license with Ganguly still there but to go for six after six is just reckless.

Man, so many twists in this game! Cracker of a test match!

Cricketman added 1 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

They were all calculated I think, Will. All were in the strike zone and he just hit that one a tad early tbh. I wouldn't call it reckless, but probably not needed.

 

[Will_NA]

Nostradamus.

Weren't his prochecies really ambiguous? He would probably have forseen a swishing bat and celebrations

Kumble is out for surwe: as usual the Indians give off there innings

Yeha, it's jsut guesswork on my part since I can't see the action.

Kumble gone!!!! asked for review lol

 

[Cricketman]

Lead of 320, cmon Bhaj!

Cricketman added 1 Minutes and 21 Seconds later...

What the hell is going on?

 

[khalek]

Ishant gone!!!! Run out... what is this all batsmen are leaving

khalek added 0 Minutes and 54 Seconds later...

I must say Prasanna is a very active keeper

 

[Cricketman]

Yeah, i'd say in terms of glove work he's up there among the best.

 

[SaiSrini]

What a nonsensical collapse!!!! Idiots!

If we lose the game, this would probably be the reason. I dont see the wicket having too many demons. SL will find this easy meat to chase the target with 1 day and 2 sessions to go. By tomorrow morning, they would have reduced the required runs to 100 odd.

Bye bye india!

 

[Cricketman]

They wouldn't be batting like this unless there was a reason (I hope ) I feel Kumble reckons Day four will be affected by rain somewhat anyways, plus the pitch is wearing down.

I'd say we're still in a fantastic position.

 

[khalek]

I have a feeling this game is pretty much in balance... India have Zaheer and Ishant, who imo will pick up some important wickets, then Bhajji and Kumble are there so its not over yet

but I agree the collapse was aweful, the batsmen should have gone on
