150 up for SL .... Munaf is in, may be its time for him to be amongst the wkt-takers, whike Kumar has two more overs to get a 5-er

Murali is doing alright so far. Sticking around with Kapu for 25 odd balls so far.

Jason will be pleased. Sure hope they can bat out 50 overs.

Should be an easy win for India though.

The Wheel is Forever
I really can't remember another bowler improving so quickly. When he went wicketless in the first Test match, I thought 'Well, give him 3-4 years domestically and he might be able to put it together by the time he is 23.'

At the end of the tour, his action looks better, he bowls tighter, has developed a bunch of deliveries and just looks like a very good player. I'm amazed someone could improve that much so fast. And he's just 19.

The two main things that I'll take out of this tour are Sharma's bowling, which has been very good, and Dhoni's keeping, which has been excellent.

I've said this before this tour, but I was wrong about him. I hated his keeping and wanted better gloves behind the stumps but he has turned into a very solid keeper to both the quicks and the slow bowlers. Well done to him for that.

And boy, do India have selection nightmares with their fast bowling or what?

SL bundled out for 179 .... at one pt, i thought that may be Ind could restrict it to around 150

it's needless to say that, overall, it's a gr8 bowling effort by Ind

i would say Ind would win this one but as they say 'never count ur chickens b4 they hatch' Or in cricketing terms 'nothing is sure till the last ball is bowled' so would hold my horse till the game ends

cheers

Especially with this Indian batting line up, which in this series messed up another low scoring chase (203) from a similar situation and has had some sort of collapse or mini-collapse in every single innings so far, even ones that ended well.

Dhoni's keeping, captaincy and responsible batting have been the standout for mine. Looks a very accomplished international player now.

And I don't know about selection nightmare. Maybe a bit of a headache but India having a battery of International standard quicks is something out of our wildest dreams. Competition for places will increase the level of our bowling even more. Very exciting.

Can you stop with the "cheers"? It's annoying as **** for just about everyone on here and I'd rather not put you on ignore. I can't see how cutting that out of your posts would suddenly make life intolerable or inhibit your posting ability. Thank you.
