*Official* India in Sri Lanka 2010 - Tests

[Migara]

I hope this series doesnt turn in to a run feast, a close contest between bat and bowl would be highly appreciated

SL pitches aren't flat by any stretch of imagination, except if it is SSC

They didn't manage that in SL since 1982. The last series win in SL came in 1994

You're welcome

We are talking about completely different things here.

 

[Cruxdude]

Disappointed with the absence of UDRS. I don't understand what the Indian team has against it. Last time they made some really ridiculous and downright stupid appeals, this can't be held against the system. Really wish the ICC makes it compulsory for all matches to have it.

Can't we make this thread "sticky"?

Surprising that UDRS isn't liked much by the BCCI. If they just used it better the first time.....

Fairly decent squad on the whole for Sri Lanka but I'm not overly confident either way. The batting is unlikely to be consistent enough to win the series. We can hope though.

 

[Shri]

Hope there are loads of umpiring errors in favor of Sri lanka. Just fer the lulz.

Is it BCCI or the Indian team though? I just don't get it.. Is it like BCCI don't want the team to get used to UDRS coz they won't spend enough to have it in their home games or is it juz that the players are so God damn stupid in the way they use it that they just don't want it at all.. Either way, stupid is the least one can say about this...

Done.

Didn't realise it was due to start so soon, would have done it earlier otherwise.

 

[Lostman]

Bring back Bucknor and then lets play against India with no UDRS.

Last time in SL with UDRS placed.....Sachin scored 95 runs in 6 innings....

Stop attempting to troll our Indian posters please.
