Tri Series (India, Sri Lanka and New Zealand) - Compaq Cup in Sri Lanka 2009

[SciD]

Whats happening?

Kiwis won the toss and batted first. They were supposed to win the match.

Awful umpiring again by Gamini Silva.Raina's bat was clearly in the air.Pathetic umpire he is.

If Australia beat England 7-0 are they gonna regain their no.1 spot?.

I don't care if we lose. I just want to see Shane Bond. This series is a waste of time and the pitches have been dreadful. It's poor preparation for the Champion's trophy.

Plus the compaq cup is the most hideous trophy i've ever seen.

EVERY TIME everyy time NZ loses, thats your thing to say. you said the same thing when they visited BD. and also you said, who ever bats 1st is gona win or something like that, India batted 2nd today, they won...


any who, so this is it for Kiwi?

looks like at 1 point India were 4 down for 84! Dravid did what he does, SR of 30. did that piss you guys off? :laugh you shouldnt be mad at him, he is playing ODI after a longg time.

 

[SaiSrini]

Yeah same, I reckon we might get skittled for about 150 and India will chase it down quite easily. I just reckon we have no hope if India bat first, but a slim chance if we bat first, so I was stoked to win the toss.

Nostradamus! Well done.... Though we didnt chase it down that easily.

 

[SciD]

Dravid is legend. He was in T20 mode today.

 

[Leggie]

Convincing win. We can't really base Dravid after one game, give him the series before we can judge him. However I'm liking Nehra's comeback.

 

[deepuparayil]

Dravid did what he does, SR of 30. did that piss you guys off? :laugh.

Actually Dravid played a beautiful supporting role.He along with Tendulkar helped us avoid an early break down.His SR is not a problem considering the match conditions when he batted.

 

[SaiSrini]

Good win for India. People said teams cant win here batting second. We did it! Yes, its a very hard pitch to score runs, but still we won chasing under lights. Very good bowling from Nehra, RP, Ishant and Yuvraj. They set this up. Good innings from Sachin, Raina and Dhoni. We should look to iron out flaws tomorrow when we play SL. We should play the best team and look to get ready for the final.

On Dravid, come on! Give him a break. This pitch is a hard one to score on and he had to encounter Bond for the most part (Heard that Bond was hostile early in the innings). Sensing that this is his first ODI after two years coupled with the pitch and Bond, its a decent effort. TWO MORE FOR THE ODI NO.1 RANKING! COME ON!
