**Official** India in Sri Lanka 2012

[nsniks]

Seems MSD will get a ban once again because we will be unable to complete over in allotted time.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This should be interesting chase

 

[ankitj]

Good to see Gambhir making a confident start. The pull shot for 4 to Udana was quite brilliant.

 

[ankitj]

Sri Lanka has never failed to defend a score in excess of 250 in Sri Lanka (in 28 such occasions)! Quite a record that.

Hopefully these two can keep going Don't throw this away boys.

Suspiciously spambot-esque post, this

 

[Jono]

Saw the missed full stop and figured cbf

 

[ankitj]

Bad shot to get out on

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Timely wicket for SL

 

[ankitj]

Dhoni promotes himself to #4. I like that.

 

[Jono]

So soft from Kohli. Annoying.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

At one stage it looked like SL would win but Raina really took the match away

 

[nsniks]

Brilliant partnership by Raina and Pathan. India go 2-1 in series

 

[Dissector]

Yeah that was a great partnershp which made a difficult equation look easy in the end. A few streaky boundaries but some great shots particularly that magnificent six by Raina off Malinga. Pathan at 7 could be really useful for India in the next few years; that vital all-rounder who can score quick runs in a tight game. This chase was good practice for the TT World Cup too.

 

[nsniks]

I hope in next match they play Tiwary instead of Rohit. Rohit looks completely out of form, didnt have a good A tour also to WI

 

[Jono]

**** can't believe we won that. Once Gambhir was run out figured we had thrown it away.

 

[chicane]

Raina was lucky but made it count.

 

[Cevno]

Rohit is so irritating. You think he has finally stepped up to the plate and he flatters to deceive.

Hoping to see Rahane in for him.

Geez, quite an amazing stat. Ever, or in the last 28 occasions?

Not that it matters anymore!

Seems to be a curious pattern lately with Gambhir in chases. Does all the hard work, sets it up beautifully... then gets out. Quality chaser, but I'd say Indian fans will want him to be seeing it through a bit more often than he does.
