***Official*** India in Sri Lanka 2015

[YorksLanka]

****er gets out for 12. Guess what, he will be at #6 against WI as well. Then they'll be sending Milinda Sirwardane as the sacrificial goat next time.

I am a fan of his but even I reckon he needs some time to go back to domestic cricket to get some runs under his belt and get his confidence back..carrying on like this is going to destroy him..

Why does Angelo have to be such a ****ing gun

Can't even hate on him

Looks like a Johannesburg repeat. Ishant doing well when the pitch has something, Pujara gunning it, massive target set and India finding it far tougher to get wickets once the pitch has settled down.

every team finds it tougher once the pitch has settled down. But you get through one of these two with enough time left and you shouldn't have trouble polishing off the rest.

These two have been going at almost four an over for the last 10 overs which is more than what SL needs to win. Still a long way to go but if they can continue at the same rate for another hour it could get worrying for India. OTOH if these two start pushing for runs that increases the likelihood of a wicket falling. I still feel the second new ball will produce the breakthroughs that will win India the game.

Good to see Kusal sticking around thus far, amazing it took the selectors this long to realize how dreadful Mubarak is.

This is lame.

Deafening silence from my fellow Indians in this thread.

Right now all our hopes are pegged on Ishant. That is a very defeaning-silence place to be in, so..

Well I'm busy with work so posting at a minimum.

Ashwin should come back on.

Jizz. All over surely. Could've won this 3-0 with the right selections.

Made an overconfident post like this right before Chandimal destroyed us in the first test.

Sorry guys.

Hand your Indian supporter rights in IMO.

 

[morgieb]

You losing 2-1 would have a case of being the biggest choke of all-time IMO.

stop expecting SL to just roll over

So how different are Karunaratne, Thirimanne? Mubarak played a fighting knock just a few innings ago.

 

[Burner]

Considering that India scored a lot of runs with the tail when the ball got old, it's no surprise that SL batsmen are piling the runs on now... India need another wicket before the new ball is due imo.

would certainly be up there. India have been better with bat, ball and in the field.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah the lower order chipping in has been a trend so far.

 

[Jono]

everyone got Howe's email bagging the declaration peeps bookmarked to bump up if this is a draw (or even if it is close to a draw)?

Edit: Or we lose the match and declaration peeps look silly, but then again #risklosetowin #kohli

Most definitely. We've dominated 90% of the series.
