***Official*** India's Tour of Sri Lanka 2017

Can't ask for a better No. 3 in Asia than Pujara.

Can. Would be pointless unless Bradman 2.0 was involved. But can.

 

[honestbharani]

A strike rate of 63?

This isn't rugged at all, what is that idiot doing?

He was on 10 off 50 or something ridiculous like that at lunch too. He has always been someone who accelerates once he is in though.

Yeah wtf. Really disappointing. He was going perfectly at 25(80) but ****ed it up after that.

Fun fact: Bradman averaged 10 in Asia.

Clear evidence that Sachin >>> Bradman.

This will be the most lopsided series India has played since the Eng-Zim drubbings of 93-94.

EDIT: Maybe not, I'm sure there have been a few others but **** if this isn't zzz.

 

[DriveClub]

Yeah I see no reason why India shouldn't be able to easily whitewash this sl team, one of the worst sl teams I've seen and will get even worse after herath hangs up

There is a return series later this year. :P

I fondly remember those series, those were the first full Test series involving India I properly followed.

The Sachin farewell WI series was also extremely lopsided.

I wonder when was the last time we saw a pantsing like this anywhere by the away side?

India destroyed West Indies away a few years ago. Tendulkar's last series I believe.

Edit: Literally the post above you ugh.

That was at home.

Australia won pretty convincingly in WI in 2015.

Then that post was dreadful on several different levels.

In my head there was a series where Ishant wrecked shop, and that was it. But really it was two years before that, and whilst Ishant did well, India didn't dominate the result too much.

Yeah India sent a B-side there, when all the big stars were "resting" on their WC laurels in 2011.

Again, Dhoni's defensive captaincy might have cost us a win or two in that series.

I heard Shivfan had some views about this, thoughts?

Such a regular Dennis Lillee of batsmen, that one.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pradeep has done his hamstring it seems. Their lone pacer for the test and their only good bowler this series so far. Turning into a nightmare series for SL, this.

Mathews might need to bowl if Pradeep is done for.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Btw, did anyone see that blow Mendis took to his grill from that Pujara pull shot? Thank god for helmets, but in a post-Hughes world, you can't help but feel a little sick seeing something like that.
