***Official*** India in Sri Lanka

[Jono]

Personally would have taken it, and encouraged Yuvraj to try and go over the top against Mendis.

India haven't had to score quickly against him so far this series.

Haha Yuvi goes over the top anyway!

 

[Athlai]

Haha love the ****wit.

 

[Evermind]

SL bowling train in danger of derailment.

I have no idea why they persist with Fernando. He's a match-winner...for the other team.

 

[honestbharani]

What does Yuvrj have that Yuvraj doesn't?

obviously... an a...

 

[Arjun]

Gosh these IDBI Fortis Wealthsurance ads are annoying. This tournament has become a brand placement exercise.

 

[TT Boy]

Just ****tard bowling. The fine leg is up, so they just bowl into UV’s pads or two yards outside leg-stump.

India take the batting PowerPlay. Good move. UV could have a ton by the end of it.

 

[honestbharani]

****ing knew it. Bad decision too, going down leg.

Sachin having a **** series. LBW 3 times, poor decision on all of them.

It is like that series Lara had in 2005-2006 against Australia in Australia...




It seems they juz don want him for too long..

 

[Jono]

This is a brutal belting of SL atm.

Mendis struggling.

 

[duffer]

Mendis struggling.

Just quietly, I'm starting to believe we've figured him out a bit.

 

[Arjun]

Sanath is on. Sunny and Ranil say it's a good idea.

 

[Jono]

Apparently Kirsten has not allowed any video footage study, and just wants the players to play their natural game.

Seems to have worked.

 

[Athlai]

A bit of the play the ball not the hype is it?

 

[honestbharani]

Just quietly, I'm starting to believe we've figured him out a bit.

Just quietly, I believe it is coz he is not the same on flat ODI wickets... I will believe it when I see us handle him this well in tests... He was not all that great even in the last ODI series we played here a few months ago..



But the guy is extremely difficult to get away even on the flattest decks and his variations only make him that much more dangerous...


Just needs to work out a good decent stock ball, AFAIC... Right now it is like all he has are his variations...

 

[Evermind]

Any bets on India's final score? Dhoni and Pathan yet to come. I'm thinking at least 350.

 

[Arjun]

Yuvraj gets 100! That's #11 for him.

 

[Jono]

360 for me. SL must be demoralised. Best two bowlers taken to the cleaners. 2-0 down in the series as well.

 

[duffer]

Nice one Yuvi, now let Viru go big as well.

 

[Athlai]

400 is my massive call.

 

[Arjun]

Now it's a double century for Sehwag and Yuvraj in 150 deliveries.

 

[IndGunner]

Wow just read on cricinfo that this is the first century by an indian in Srilanka for 10 years :O Nice one
