*Official* India in Sri Lanka 2010 - Tests

Mahela Jayawardene has taken 75 catches off Muralidharan! What a combo...

Previously it was hold by Taylor & Warne.

Any other such pair???
Lillee and Marsh must have accounted for quite a few - and they didn't play as many Tests of course. Likewise Marshall/Dujon.

Whatever it takes!!!
Well, it is unfortunate we didn't have Zak here and we got a half fit Harbhajan running around... But even with all that, this is a ridiculous performance...

this is not a comprehensive list since we don't have the records for all time, but from what we have, dravid has faced more balls than anyone in test cricket. Staggering.

Over 50 overs bowled, and the in-form Malinga only got 5. Good to bring him back! And he gets Dravid immediately!

What was Sanka thinking not using him more?

Sanga a tad bit too late as usual in making the right call. Malinga could have stopped that partnership a long time back. Oh well, better late than never.

I was just talking about fielders and not the wickies...

If we take Wickies in count then,

Lillee / Marsh - 95
McGrath / Gilly - 90
Ntini / Boucher - 84
Lee / Gilly - 81
Pollock / Boucher - 79
Marshall / Dujon - 71

Test cricket is a joke. Fair play Murali but that was so much darker than other teams have gone off for.

Hate inconsistency.

And **** off Yuvraj

Can understand you feeling that way, Jono but they have gone ahead with the change of leaving the light decision to the umps now and with the new rules as it is, I guess you gotta stay out there till it reaches the reading they had marked out as being too low for play... Not great but I feel this is better than the old rule of going off every time there was a cloud about and your team was not in a great position...


Good knock from Sachin and nice support from Dravid but get the feeling we were asking too much from this rusty line up on a decent wicket for bowling. The bowling is where we lost this match and that is that... Gotta think if it was a good option to play a half fit Bhajji.. I know Mishra was bad but at least he would have been 100%...

What a fairytale this is turning into for SL and Murali.

When Lanka got that total I thought it had to be a draw. But what a performance.

Yeah it's India's bowling that got them in this mess, the Sri Lankans just showing you what good bowlers look like.
