Sri Lanka in India

[andrew_nixon]

Since it wasn't disclosed why Zaheer was dropped, my friends and I have assumed that he might have pulled out due to the fact that the series was during Ramadan. he probably felt that he wouldn't have been able to play while fasting. Kaif was injured, so we don't know if he would have done the same. He and Zaheer are currently the only Muslims in the squad I think...

Isn't Irfan Pathan a Muslim?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I donnow. I am not sure.

Besides, I just said it was a probability. Maybe he felt he couldn't do it.

 

[Adarsh]

Irfan is a muslim.
P.S: the sachin video is great! How can I download it?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Off course Irfan Pathan is a Muslim.

And Sri Lankans wouldn't like Ranatunga's comments. I don't like it, so guess how the Sri Lankans feel.

I hope Sri Lanka will make a better fightback.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Off course Irfan Pathan is a Muslim.

Thanks for clearing that. So thats not likely to be the reason...

 

[Adarsh]

I am not suprised that u don't like it

 

[ZexyZahid]

I don't like it, because it's the same team which have brought them the number 2 ODI spot. And during that they have used the same tactics all along. That these tactics doesn't give them a win now, doesn't mean these tactics aren't good. Only individual performances are lacking.

Players go out of form. Their bowlers are terribly out of form. Sanath doesn't look like he will even come close to his best.

well the game is just hours away...hope india can seal this series and win a ODI Series after a long time...last time they won was in pakistan in 2004...so if we win we can break the CURSE

 

[SaiSrini]

I too hope we win the series today at Pune!

I am curious to know what the Indian batting combination today would be! I think our bowling might be more better today after the mauling we got in the last 10 overs at Jaipur!

One more thing - do you guys remember a certain period where the Indian run rate was below 5 per over in this series (except for the first 3-4 overs of their innings)? India has always been scoring at 6+ runs per over so far this whole series and that too consistently!

 

[ZexyZahid]

India won the toss and elected to field first

Santh is now in the team. That's why Dravid chose to bowl.

And as expected Tharanga is now in the team.

It's now Sri Lanka 13/0 (2.0 ov)

SL will need a huge total the way these Indians are going.

Agarkar gets the first break through for india....Kumar Sangakara LBW Agarkar 8

Next man in is Tharanga

the danger man gone but Jayasuria is looking good.

 

[aussie1st]

As long as one of the 2 openers fire SL will make a huge total.
