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

[indiaholic]

Good man. Bit late now though.

Number times India have lost a Test when chasing a target of 200 runs or less - against West Indies (1997): 1

Pretty sure I will get a chance to prove my loyalty soon..

Maybe he was asked to ease it up with the chucking.

Then why is he still wearing long sleeves?

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Well done SL, it was a close match really and as was said on CricInfo after the toss, batting last would prove difficult. I'm not sure they meant like this. #bigherathfan

wow just watching that Herath delivery to Rahane...

Gun analysis from Sanjay and Arnold on Herath's action.

 

[Black_Warrior]

This is the 69th year of existence for India and Pakistan...no wonder everything is up side down

Pakistan chases 377 against Sri Lanka in fourth innings

India collapses chasing 176 against Sri Lanka in fourth innings

Painful. I assume Vijay, Pujara and Aaron will throw Rahul, Rohit and Aaron out of the side. The Q is - do we bring in Bhuvi for Harbhajan ?

Also, Indian batsmen - please learn how to play spin. Moeen Ali, Nathan Lyon and now Rangana Herath.

Aaron throwing out Aaron?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Wow India

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Why is Kohli smiling?

There was a time when he used to cry when India lost.

 

[G.I.Joe]

So I can't be cool anymore?

 

[viriya]

Kohli's press conference seemed much more mature than he usually is, good sign.

 

[91Jmay]

India away from home.

 

[NUFAN]

Aaron throwing out Aaron?

like for like replacement.

 

[smash84]

Wow. Wtf happened ?

Today I solemnly vow my allegiance to the OS Pessimism Brigade. No match shall ever be assumed won, no position shall be considered safe until the very last ball is bowled.

I am enrolling to OSPB too, for the next few months at least.

Didn't watch too much...What was the change in Herath's bowling action in the 2nd innings that people are talking about?

pivoting more to put more revs on the ball. Using his hips more, which twisted his torso more so his pointing arm ended up further behind him than it was previously.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Herath and SL. Great recovery to win that.

Bad for India to dominate a game for 3 days and lose so easily in the end. Wasn't even close.

Shame I was too hungover to watch it this morning.

Read up on some match reports. So 5 decisions went against India when Chandimal was batting. Not great umpiring apparently. Now that srt is gone can somebody knock some sense into bcci to atart backing drs?
