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

Hm, I think the sarcasm was lost across the internets.

Don't worry, this was the wrong thread to even think about posting sarcasm in.

We`ve scored just 26 runs in the last 6 overs and that too using up a powerplay. I feel Sachin should`ve gone in retired hurt as he seems to have been drained out in this humid weather. It would`ve helped to have two fresh legs on the crease to capitalize on the great platform.

here we go, people to start telling us Sachin is batting too slowly even though he just scored you a hundred at a run a ball!

Yeah right ollie.
I just can't understand what else people wish Sachin or India to do even after they are doing so well?

When did I ever say that? I just said that he seems to be cramping up badly and we could do with a fresh batsman at the crease.

Australia vs. England? It's like a one sided game, england can't win a game. Atleast this will be fair contest among the two teams.

Until the lights come on right.

Tendulkar gone after blasting Mendis. Yusuf should be sent now for some fire works.

I was using you as an example.

Now this is what I call an innings!

45.6
Mendis to Tendulkar, OUT, goes for another reverse sweep, misses and this time it's the off break that traps him right in front. What an innings though. Absolute masterclass on risk-free cricket.
SR Tendulkar lbw b Mendis 138 (82m 133b 10x4 1x6) SR: 103.75
45.5
Mendis to Tendulkar, FOUR, Oh boy he is enjoying himself with his innovations now. Another reverse sweep. He goes down on his back knee and brings his highest score against Sri Lanka with a reverse sweep past backward point
45.4
Mendis to Tendulkar, FOUR, aha! the reverse sweep now. He picked the carrom ball from the off stump and swung it over backward point
45.3
Mendis to Tendulkar, SIX, Bang! And he does. He charges out, making room by going outside the leg stump, and crashes it over extra-cover. That was a flat hit. The ball lands on the ropes.

Yuvraj has been a bit disappointing. We could`ve targetted 320-330 had he been in better touch.

 

[Brook]

Cricinfo seems to have stopped for me on this

EDIT: Oh it's because Yussuf is out for 0

 

[Amiya]

Yusuf gone now. 30 - 40 more runs would be perfect.

 

[nikhil_99]

Good 100 by Sachin,he got good starts in all the matches...India should be able to get 300+ score...

 

[Brook]

If this match is a close contest I'd be very surprised.

 

[Raj_Aryan]

If this match is a close contest I'd be very surprised.

Do you think SL will get close to that total around 300?

 

[Howsie]

Do you think SL will get close to that total around 300?

I can answer that for him


NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

[jkartik]

If this match is a close contest I'd be very surprised.

[Brook]

I think India will win by 100+ runs.
