Planning how to whitewash Australia with Vinay Kumar, Mohit Sharma, and RP Singh, probably.

The ODI ranking's table was really close. Ind were 3rd just three points behind #1 side. Any idea on how things moved after this One Day.

As excited as I was about both Yadav and Aaron playing together, Aaron really needs to handle himself well. He cannot become another Nehra. Injured every 3rd match. On the bright side, despite so many injuries he has not dropped his pace, and if anything has returned even quicker after every injury.

Having said that I look forward to seeing more of them bowling in tandem. SL are a great opposition and have in Sanga and Mahela two of the most experienced and best batsmen playing today. If Yadav and Vaarun Aaron can do well here, it will go a long way towards showing they are ready for the WC.

^^On that note, Aaron is out of the next two games. Replaced by Binny (

 

[Aalay]

I don't think they will risk Aaron now and we might see him straight in Australia series. Binny's inclusion clearly states that he is still part of our test plan and selectors want to test all the possible options before they select the squad for that Australia series.

Looking forward to Mesut Ozil bowl today. Against Sangakarra and Jayawardene Ozil will have a real test today.

Wow first over Ozil gets rid of Dilshan after he had carted Ashwin for nearly 20 runs in the previous over.

 

[Yuvi.]

Great Work , Ozil!
Maiden Wicket after a 20-run Over of Jaad.

Lankans have put a decent total , Hoping Indians don't finish it too early!

 

[Aalay]

This is a big opportunity for Raydu to book his name in the World cup squad. A big hundred here and he will be all set. It's also good to see Dhawan not throwing away his wicket and grinding it out to score big.


Oh god he has thrown it away.

 

[greymatter776]

Rayudu looks promising.He has taken his time to settle and he is one player who could clear the boundaries at will.Hope he could went on to make a ton !

 

[Yuvi.]

Speaking of the WC , if Malinga doesn't get fit & this is the Lankan Pace Attack then they can assure the same results in Aus too.[DOUBLEPOST=1415284856][/DOUBLEPOST]And talking of Rayudu if Rohit & other batsmen remain fit , he can relax on the benches whole WC.

 

[Aalay]

It is good to see Raydu taking the opportunity and making it count. Now there will be even more competition between Rohit and Raydu.
