***Official*** India in Sri Lanka 2015

[Teja.]

I get that Rahul is a talent but can people stop mythologizing his dodgy chancey hundred?

EDIT: Commentators mostly.

Ashwin won't give Yasir Shah an easy time at the top

How does that shunt Thirimanne continually get picked. Averaging 25 in 20 Tests and he is number 3? Jesus.

To give full context, he averages 20 in 19 tests against teams who aren't Bangladesh.

nah apparently there isn't a single batsman in Sri Lanka domestic cricket. like they're genuinely all bowlers so it's not like they can give anyone else a go

that's what I was told a few pages ago anyway (I might be being slightly facetious though)

Just to be very clear, I do concede that the 5 bowler theory may have some merit when we are playing one spinner in conditions which are not really helpful to spin.

Yeah, wasn't the best innings and the pitch was a pncake. People probably have a soft spot for it because of how horrendous his debut was.

 

[indiaholic]

Nah they hyped it up because it was in Australia.

Yeah, I lean towards it in general, but definitely not in these conditions.

Cricbuzz is the title sponsor?! Cricinfo can suck it

Yeah especially not when Bhuvi isn't picked. The batting depth takes a big hit.

Wonder how long it will take the SL selectors to realise that Mubarak is a domestic bully and not up to it at international level.And when they will give Kusal Perea a go,who absolutely banged the door down in that A series against Pakistan and then that century in the ODI series?

 

[NUFAN]

Mubarak's 13 year Test Career is completely gash. So embarrassing for the USA.

Didn't see Jammy's post tbh.

Maybe Thirimanne should roll his arm over, it can't be worse than his batting.

 

[ImpatientLime]

pace bowling, the banter series.

 

[Pratters]

How is the pitch?

 

[Pratters]

Ashwin is rapdily improving. Good to see the progress.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

plumb

 

[OverratedSanity]

Uh oh. Pls not one of those Dhammika spells.

 

[Flametree]

How is the pitch?

Good bounce, reasonable pace, plenty of turn. Could be on for another three day test if the weather plays the game...

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Uh oh. Pls not one of those Dhammika spells.

yeah he can cause some serious damage if he gets going

 

[Kirkut]

The demigod arrives to bat.
