***Official*** Sri Lanka in India 2017

[srbhkshk]

Russel might disagree, but safe to say this has been India's day.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

How much humiliation can SL take?

Virat on his way to another century.

 

[harsh.ag]

Way too easy a pitch here for Kohli.

Virat using the long handle

ffs Rahane

 

[morgieb]

Talk about a wasted opportunity. Wonder if Nohit will replace him.

 

[mr_mister]

Nohits already in the side though..

Meant when they pick 5 bowlers (or Hardik).

 

[OverratedSanity]

He got a hundred 2 tests ago you know.

 

[srbhkshk]

Rahane's not going anywhere, he has enough in the bank.

 

[srbhkshk]

The only thing that SL seems to gain from series against India is injuries.

 

[vcs]

His spot is safe, but Rahane will never have the ruthlessness of a Kohli or a Pujara in terms of piling up when the going is good.

Pujara is probably the ultimate example of this, Kohli has got in on the act as well over the last couple of years.

Most international 100s in a year by a captain ever. Kohli has 10 now but Ponting hit 9 in a year two times.

What's the record regardless of captaincy?

Tendulkar - 12 tons in the year 1998. That year was something else and no one will come close to that effort for a while.

Tendulkar in 98. (12)

 

[OverratedSanity]

The commentators are ripping into the decision to rest Hardik. Good.

Considering there is another test and a few ODIs Kohli might do it.

 

[harsh.ag]

Hardik is young though. Not the worst idea to rest him every now and then, esp considering he plays all 3 formats.

Probably should play the 3rd test though. If it's a greentop, that is.

 

[mr_mister]

Didnt Pandya want the rest? Saw an article that made it seem like that


Good on Rohit for scoring runs. His last few sporadic tests he's performed well
