India's Tour of Sri Lanka

[Jit]

Awesome, they're basically rolling out the red carpet for Badrinath.

dude i dotn think so cuz dhoni will give his side chances all the way throught the series and i dont think he will chage it cuz he would say his batting will get use to it cuz we have played one match and batsman have releazied what to do agiasnt mendis so hopefully they will perform man

Well, that is one poor performance by the Indians, and their bowling doesn't look good enough to save them.

Funnily enough, the damage was done by Vaas and Kulasekera, but the finishing touches put on by Mendis and Murali.

My interpretation is India have been focusing too much on Murali (naturally as all teams do) and Mendis, and possibly did not train / have the mindset to face Vaas and Kulasekera.

Ajantha Mendis is a legend, he is just amazing

Lol @ Yuvraj, keeps on getting bowled by Mendis

Awesome, they're basically rolling out the red carpet for Badrinath.

My thoughts exactly, man. But it was hilarious at the end, M&M had more trouble getting rid of the damn tail than our middle order, we were defeated before the ball was even bowled, in the mind. The wickets of Dhoni and Yuvraj, the deliveries were nothing special (except maybe Dhoni's, which hurried him a little) and if someone other than Mendis had bowled it, they would have been timid.

Plus, wtf was Sharma doing? He basically glided it to slip, and Raina too, gifted his wicket away.

But I'm glad that we failed early, still gives us a chance to mount a fightback for the series, plus 146 can be troublesome, we probably won't win, but we can give them a run thanks to our tail, especially Ojha for sticking till the end, and Harbhajan and Zak for doing the hard work prior to it. LOL at Munaf launcing Murali out of the park too, good on him!

As I said, we have something to bowl at, and hopefully we'll go down swinging, and Badri is brought it for somebody next match.

146? Come on! Somebody needs to at least try and whack Mendis out of the park!

This is exactly where Badrinath could have stuck in there and played the anchor. Instead, Dhoni went for Kholi, who failed miserably.

Yuvraj did whack Mednsi out of the park, but next ball, he edged one back on.

 

[khalek]

Man why cheerleaders in ODIs... my mom isn't letting me watch the match because of that!

 

[India2011]

^^ Are you serious or are you just joking?

Man, Munaf is bowling well! 30 - 40 more runs on the board and I reckon we would have had a chance.

 

[khalek]

^^ Are you serious or are you just joking?

Seriously man, she is shouting at me saying "Is it cricket or a dance show?"

 

[India2011]

Lol!

Though the cameraman just put the camera up one of the ceerleader's skirts.

 

[khalek]

Lol!

Though the cameraman just put the camera up one of the ceerleader's skirts.

Not only now, even before the cameraman did that and my mom caught me watching it with delight

 

[angryangy]

I discovered they're showing this match on Fox sometime after Sri Lanka's 35th over... well that was fun.

 

[khalek]

That was a big loss for India, they have to make a strong comeback in the next match to keep series alive

 

[India2011]

Agreed. Why they picked Kholi and Sharma over Badrinath is beyond me.

However, they bowled and fielded very well - it's just their batting.

 

[Cricketman]

Mob, what did I tell you

Badri in next game please.

 

[icyman]

I feel that Kohli should remain in the side,if Sehwag is still injured.If anyone has to go,its Rohit Sharma and Badri can come in.
Also,Virat is a middle-order player,so he ought to remain there and he should not be oushed up and down the order frequently.
