*Official* India in Sri Lanka 2010 - Tests

Dissector

International Debutant
Can someone please explain to Ishant that you don't bowl bouncers to tailenders every single ball? You mix it up so that the batsman is left guessing about the length and then the bouncer becomes much more effective. It staggers me that someone has reached test level without understanding this.

Mishra can't turn it from around the wicket on THIS pitch, he can never really turn it. Is a hopeless case IMO.

Exactly. Good reply from both the groundstaff and the team. Awesome stuff from Samaraweera, and Mendis too.

Ojha gets it to turn fast again when he pitches it on good length. There is definitely some thing in it for the spinners. Indians just haven't been able to utilise it. Commentators say it is the pitch slowing down but I believe it is a lot to do with the lengths the bowlers have bowled.

Why? They will win the series if it's a draw. They should try and bat India out of the game if possible.

Mishra cant rip it or turn it good enough.

Ojha is not consistent with lines or lengths.

Sehwag is an average test bowler at best.

Ishant is just bowling bouncers.

Mithun is trying to bowl bouncers.

This is destined to end in a draw unless we get them run out.
