Sri Lanka tour of India

[icyman]

My god! The hype around Shreyas Iyer is ridiculous! He has had one good T20 series against an attack that would probably be at best an average IPL attack and I feel like he's the current Viv Richards

On the contrary, the hate surrounding Shreyas Iyer is difficult to fathom. The guy hasnt done anything wrong and yet ppl clamouring for his exit from the side...

10 bucks says India to fold under 400, which still appears to be a good enough score for SL.

What an incredible story of growth for Jadeja the batsman has been in the last couple of years.

A well deserved hundred this for him.

Jadeja stood out at the right time for the team! Good contribution from Ashwin too.

I am afraid but Sri Lanka's over rate seems way too slow and I just hope it's not the case with us when we come out to bowl since we are already at the middle of the points table. And demerit points would be absolutely criminal at this stage!

5 years*

Either of these two needs to go a little harder now!

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Jadeja should fancy going for a double ton over here by the end of this session. 60 runs to get in an hour's time. Just hit out or get out should be the approach here. Each run is a bonus here!

Pretty lame from SunnyG to wanting to see the bowlers add something to their batting tally for personal stats padding!

Sir Jadeja

Why on Earth we needed to declare with just 25 runs for Jadeja to get his 200? Seriously this is ridiculous!

When Dravid was captain,
Sachin 194*

When Dravid is coach,
Jadeja 175*

He averages neaely 50 across his last 30 Tests

I feel there is a need to cut down on these no-balls. I don't see why the bowlers need to try so hard considering there are 570-odd runs on the board and Sri Lanka haven't scored a 400 since ages. Nothing but just terrible bowling!

On to the Jadeja thing, we all know we are behind in the WTC Points table and we don't need to give the opposition a chance to revive the game costing us valuable points and in turn affect our points%. Again quite ironical to my above point of Sri Lanka not having crossed a 400 but there was a chance that Sri Lanka might've played out the entire Day 3.

PS:- Before someone calls me out as biased..... Even if Kohli as Captain would've declared the innings, I would've supported his decision.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Mathews was a little unfortunate there.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

We just missed out the fact that Jadeja played under Warne..... He probably paid the best tribute today by scoring well to someone who gave him the first opportunity to play Cricket at a competitive level!

Dominant display by India today. Once again Sir has shown his class.
