8th June - Group B - India v Sri Lanka

[Stapel]

Right now, we're close to the point where you'ld rather be a SL fan than a India fan.

 

[91Jmay]

Nah, goes back to my context point yesterday. If it's Eng/Aus/Ind/SA batting now you worry massively but one wicket breaks the game hugely to India with the frailty in Sri Lankan line up.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Awesome batting this by mendis

Not saying SL have the middle order EAIS have, but I think it's a bit stronger than most people think.

Yeah but this looks such a good wicket now. Just needs to bat sensibly

not this batting order's strength

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow they're taking this game away now. Great batting.

 

[91Jmay]

another 50 runs by these two and they will be in a great position. Still not trusting them as things stand but it's creeping towards them being firm favourites.

 

[weldone]

not watching this - but the left-handed Gunathilaka scoring heavily is a perfect example of why Ashwin must play all games

 

[Shri]

This is pretty much done, very good pitch for batting. Well done SL.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Rrr is under 7 with 9 wickets in hand. Needs to collapse in a massive proportion to lose from here

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good partnership this but not over yet.

 

[mackembhoy]

What idiots.

That's out

Apologies to Mendis. What an idiot Gunathilaka is

 

[91Jmay]

There we go. Now the collapse

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Why perera now? Just dont understand this

 

[OverratedSanity]

Definitely needed that. Get Mathews quickly and this could fall apart.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Perera? Huh, this could be interesting.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What's the point of picking 5 bowlers and then bowling Kohli and Jadhav? To the new batsman too. Awful captaincy from Kohli.

not confident about Jadeja and Pandya finishing 20 I supppose

 

[MW1304]

Good idea putting Perera out really. If he comes off, the total could be within 100 in no time, and you'd trust a Chandimal/Mathews to finish the job better than him.
