Sri Lanka in India

[SaiSrini]

Only Dhoni is sure of playing every match, be it competitive or non competitive!

We seriously need to have back up for Dhoni in case he picks up an injury (Though it would be devastating if it happens)! Dont want to thrust it back on Dravid to be a back up for Dhoni!

The likes of Parthiv and Dinesh Karthick should be tested soon in ODI's and be made as the back up for Dhoni! Or some one like Maninder Bisla!

Jayasuriya has been dropped for the Test squad for the first time, since 1995. It sounds shocking, but it isn't. Jayasuriya has been struggling with his injury. I hope he comes back well from his injury.

He had to be dropped after his performances this series. You can't keep going like he has and expect to be picked. He came back from injury too early and its showing.

Jayasuriya needs time to recover fully before coming back to the international arena.

Does he really have the time to come back to international arena? He is 36!

lol good point, I haven't seen his matches before his injury but if they too were bad then he should retire. If they weren't well I guess he can play on.
Of course if he comes back from injury and still is in a form slump the selectors will have to finish him off!

But it was to happen and it has happened! Like India, Sri Lanka also need to blood youngsters!

SL can't rely on Jayasuria forever. They really need to find a new opener as Santah will be gone soon. If he comes back he should bat down the order so his fire power can be used late in the inns.

Ganguly gone for a duck in the East Zone vs. West Zone match. The poor man is crumbling under all the pressure. It will be even harder for him to return now.

I cant believe Kaif dropped a catch.

 

[aussie1st]

RP Singh gets 3 more wickets, his future is looking very good.
SL 244 off their 50 overs. Arnold 68 off 69, Pathan got 3 and Agarkar 2 wickets.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Ganguly got a seven ball duck. Bowled by Zaheer Khan.

Great recovery by Atapattu and Arnold.

Poor bowling by Murali Kartik and Virender Sehwag! When I saw, it was 85/5 and I went to sleep.. I woke up and saw its 244/9 ! Man, thats too much. Its time to put Kartik on his toes by bringing in Piyush Chawla against SA!

Poor shots from Pathan and Sehwag. Tendulkar was bowled in by Zoysa. Hope marauder Dhoni and cool Kaif take us through!

Poor Ganguly! I knew this! He is facing the most rejuvenated bowler of Indian cricket - ZAHEER KHAN! This was to happen! The guy who was backed to the hilt by Ganguly, is now acting as a roadblock to Ganguly's return to international cricket! Funny!

 

[ZexyZahid]

I hope Zaheer Khan will play in the Test Series. He was in great form recent series in the Afro-Asian Cup.

Nice hitting of Sehwag and Pathan. India should win this match now.

 

[aussie1st]

Sehwag gets 25 off 24 ball!
Zoysa gets Pathan and Tendulkar
Just recently Dilhara bowls Kaif. Dhoni is still in on 27.

India have this one in the bag. Dhoni 47 and India 189/4 (29.0 ov) only requring 2.67 run an over.
