***Official***Match #33 - India vs Sri Lanka - November 2nd - Wankhede (D/N)

[Daemon]

That should've been taken.

 

[Andyhere]

That should've been taken.

Yes but you don't expect any better from SL

 

[eroticfishcake]

Kohli almost gone. Doesn't look fluent today

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Left arm seam will be our undoing.

Agree. We are doomed.

 

[Andyhere]

Another catch goes down

 

[Daemon]

That should've been taken.

..and again

Ball's holding up quite a bit on this wicket

 

[karan_fromthestands]

There is the intent from Gill.
It's important to respect good phases from the bowlers with the new ball, it's not T20, this is 50 overs, its all about absorbing the pressure sometimes.

But why not play mindless t20 style cricket and crash out like England?

 

[eroticfishcake]

Chameera looks in trouble with his shoulder

 

[Andyhere]

This is why Rohit is so important at the top and India relies so much on him giving start. Kohli can absorb all the pressure but has no plan B to put them under pressure.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Sri Lanka has created quite a few changes and they've barely completed 5 and a half overs. We are lucky we are not at least 2-3 down by now. Some really good bowling.

 

[thierry henry]

Jeez. Top 3 should all be out. Sri Lanka have blown this.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Jeez. Top 3 should all be out. Sri Lanka have blown this.

Totally, with the dew coming in, they would've had a really good chance if they had slowed down India with more wickets up front. Iyer would've been a walking wicket if he would have walked in earlier on this deck.

 

[centurymaker]

This is a completely different pitch to the one SA played on.

And I suspect the Semi Final pitch will be pretty similar.

Mumbai pitch always has some seam movement at the start. Gets easier and easier as the day progresses. Toss is also a massive factor.

 

[Molehill]

This is why Rohit is so important at the top and India relies so much on him giving start. Kohli can absorb all the pressure but has no plan B to put them under pressure.

Or he can just wait for them to bowl **** deliveries and hit them for 4.

There are such chances in all matches cmon

 

[Daemon]

It's his first over and Mathews looks like he's running on fumes already

 

[Andyhere]

Right, but that is called Plan A.
Plan B would be doing something bowler don't expect.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Are you watching it live? This isn't usual. We are lucky to be just 1 down at the moment. First 6 overs had too many wicket-taking deliveries.

 

[Bahseph]

It's his first over and Mathews looks like he's running on fumes already

It's so wild that he is back into the team as a seam bowling allrounder at 7. It's like it's 2009 again.
