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

Manjrekar - "look at those balls - pulsating, throbbing"

 

[G.I.Joe]

Highlight Reel: "Apparently , Siddharth Monga - a guy who's never played competitive cricket in his whole life knows more about batting than the guy who's scored 33 international centuries."

Right in the 'nads.

I refuse to believe that the decision to have Rohit in the side irrespective of his performance is a purely cricketing decision.

And the persistent inclusion of Ishant Sharma and sudden recall of Harbhajan Singh? And Jadeja being a regular in ODIs and even as a frontline bowler in Tests? Compared to these, Rohit Sharma deserves his caps, and has got very little.

Happy to see my boy Charmander playing.

Looks like it's one of those days where Prasad is randomly good.

Nah not going to happen. He needs to be Steyn-like to get it that low. Just unfortunate he was **** for so long. He;s damn good right now and his career stats will never reflect that.

He's hot and cold now. Bowled some utter filth on green tops down here. Short, slow, no movement. Was just plain dire before this new up and down Prasad.

 

[Pratters]

Rahul is so good to watch. They showed a pitch map of his balls attempted. Almost all were close to the stumps. Some thing other Indian players can learn from.

What the heck is this logic?

Q) Are apples sweet?
A) But a cookie is sweeter.

For the last time.

Ishant. Sharma. Shouldn't. Be. Dropped.

I myself find it hard to believe but please don't say it again.

He's played some poor shots away from the body as well tbf. For the most part he's been tight though.

 

[morgieb]

Those clamering for Sharma to be dumped haven't watched India play recently.

[weldone]

How's the pitch? ...usual bowler-friendly conditions for P Sara Oval?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Some catch that

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice catch. We could be in trouble here.

 

[Flem274*]

into the tail now

Yea this is a weird thing to say considering that, had Mubarak held onto the chance, he would have been out for 20 odd in the 11th over driving at one away from his body.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rohit looking good now. Wouldn't be surprised if he tonned up.

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

Not watching,but I think it's an absolute disgrace that Rahane has been pushed up the order after doing nothing wrong to accommodate Rohit who seemingly has been rewarded for his failures with a move down to a more comfortable position.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Rohit 200* coming up. Two high percentage shot one over before tea. He's playing with #intent

A move up the order is not punishment - some might see it as reward - and a move down the order is not reward for failure.

Rahane is better suited to 3 than Rohit.

Pujara is the best suited to it but he's not in the team.
