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

[harsh.ag]

Can we give Herath citizenship and money and Mayanti Langer (to restore sanity to the universe) please? Will take Aswhin, Herath, and Mishra in 5 man bowling attack all year

 

[Jono]

I'll take 393 thanks.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Anyone here think Sanga is not going to get a 150?

Nah. Double. Gonna **** us in his last test like Kallis.

 

[Daemon]

I'll take 393 thanks.

Yeah, quite pleased with that. Rahul Saha and Rohit making the bulk of the runs is also encouraging.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hope people leave Saha alone now, atleast in terms of his batting. He's added vital runs in both tests and even though he's weirdly prone to some brainfades, I like that he's willing to trust Mishra and Ishant to hang around and accumulates runs slowly if the bowlers are bowling well. It's easy for a wicketkeeper lower down the order to try and be Gilchrist every time he walks out to bat.

The legend walks in.

Great gesture from Indian team.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Umesh has his tail up

 

[hendrix]

yeah look Umesh just does so much more with the ball than Aaron. Was always the better option, in any conditions frankly.

 

[viriya]

fireworks while he's batting /facepalm

 

[Daemon]

Did that swing in? Don't see Yadav do that too often, usually it just comes in with the angle for him.

Edit: lefty, my bad.

 

[viriya]

How many times has he had to walk in with SL 1 down with <10 on the board..

Hope this brings the best out of him.. Hasn't done much in the last 4-5 tests.

 

[hendrix]

That was a Southee-esque variation from Umesh. Looking real good.

Always feels awkward to me. Say one day a decent but not ATG player decides to retire. Can you imagine the team huddle before he comes out to bat, and they're discussing among themselves "you think he's worthy?" "dunno man he averages 40 in an era of flat tracks and all" "ok **** it no guard of honour"

 

[viriya]

Come on Yadav.. start bowling some trash so Sanga can get himself in.

Imagine a bowler retiring and team huddles before he comes out to bat

What did they do to Rogers? I missed it

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Some quality bowling upfront with new ball

 

[viriya]

Just 190 more.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Isn't ball hitting the back of the bat for full part is out?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dammit luck not going our way and Sanga's looking good. Could be a long day.
