don`t worry !
I think it is just a brief period where SRL will dominate . It happens in test cricket.
With the lead we already have, it is just a matter of 2 partnerships to get us a good lead .
I too hope that we get some 2-3 good partnerships!
I dont think this match might last well into the fifth day! The wicket is not too good for batting!
Terrible decision! Tendulkar GONE for 19!
38-3!!
Serious signs of this game turning! I have no faith in Yuvraj even against Dilshan! Time for Kaif, Dhoni and Pathan along with Gambhir to do something!
It was there to see that the ball would have easily gone over the stumps! What was Nadeem Ghauri thinking? It was too high and should have gone in favor of Sachin!
Gambhir GONE after a good fruitful partnership of 47 runs with Yuvraj!
India still need at least 67+ runs to be in a more secure position! If Dhoni and Pathan can repeat their feats of the first innings, well India can be in a near winning position!
Yuvraj 53* off 63 balls! India lead by 326 with Dhoni and Yuvraj building another solid partnership!
Man, this Yuvraj!!!! He is starting to be another Laxman! Just when he is under pressure, he comes up with a superlative innings! So far, it has been superb and stunning with his shots all over the field! Sri Lanka are fighting really hard but India's new found resilence and depth is battering them!
Still I wont be too happy! India need to get a target of 450 and that too in quick time to checkmate Sri Lanka (no win, no draw) from this game! Its possible if they keep scoring at this rate (3.7 per over!). With Dhoni and Yuvraj to come out after tea, a very exciting session on our hands!
Read this! A perfect case of looking too early into the future thereby ignoring potential potholes!
Dravid 'n boys to rule hood; England to fall?
I think its too early to say if India will challenge Australia for the crown in 2006! For that to be realised, first they have to beat Pakistan in Pakistan and England in our own backyard! If we come out these two series with our heads held high, then YES! We have the right to say that we are ready to challenge Australia! But its too early yet to start saying that we are ready for the race of No.1!
England will be waiting to prove that the Ashes was no fluke and Pakistan are highly rejuvenated and are having an even more flow of form than our own rejuvenated India!
