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

P Sara generally does give the quicks something to work with early on. Dhammika the danger man today.

I'm so good at this but no one takes me seriously

 

[Howe_zat]

Prasad to Rahane, OUT, that's an ordinary shot at No. 3

I hate it when the cricinfo commentary mocks me

 

[hendrix]

Nah look

The pitch was too flat and the situation not dire enough for Rahane to bother scoring.

Downhill skiing is for pussies.

 

[OverratedSanity]

With Rohit, Saha and Binny to come, this is basically the last specialist batting pair.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea this is going well.

> Pujara replaced by Nohit at number 3 because Lolhi and ****stri want an aggressive number 3
> Nohit fails at 3 in first Test. Rahane scores a brave 50 in second innings from number 5.
> Lolhi insists Nohit won't be dropped
> Nohit not dropped
> Rahane sent in at 3
> Nohit hidden at 5
> Pujara nowhere to be seen

Kohli and Shastri can GAGF.

 

[cnerd123]

Rahane is the perfect number 5/6. He is so VVS-esque. Bats well with the tail, can take on the second new ball, scores runs when we need then. Why would you **** up a good thing just to keep a **** like Rohit in the side.

Urgh.

And you guys wonder why I support BD.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah, Rahane at 3 wasn't the worst decision... lots of people wanted that to happen anyway (not me though). But it's like the order is being shuffled around to accomodate Rohit somehow... that shouldn't happen. Rohit hasn't earned the right to have the lineup being chopped and changed to find him a place somewhere. BS is what it is. Don't know whether I want him to score runs.

 

[cnerd123]

Lets just hope Charmander lands a few blows on him before Herath makes him look like a n00b.

 

[viriya]

Can't believe Prasad still has a 40+ average.. much better bowler than that. I can see him settling at 33-35.

Nah not going to happen. He needs to be Steyn-like to get it that low. Just unfortunate he was **** for so long. He;s damn good right now and his career stats will never reflect that.

Yeah right. Don't be zohaib.

Mubarak.. the joke of a cricketer..

**** you.

I think he will go <40 at least. 33 might be pushing it, but 35 a possibility if he keeps improving.

 

[hendrix]

I hate that awkward catching height.

 

[OverratedSanity]

fmd, now dropped. Just put those expansive drives away until the new ball is done. These idiots have done no homework whatsoever. P Sara becomes a batting paradise after the new ball is seen off. All you have to do is get through it. Have no doubt whatsoever that it's the result of Shastri and Kohli's #intent.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hot damn Virat

 

[cnerd123]

I thought part of the reason behind Mubarak's selection was that Jonty thought he was an epic fielder?

 

[Howe_zat]

I remember seeing a quite convincing statistical analysis (might've been PEWS actually) that shows Jehan Mubarak is the least valuable Test cricketer of all time

He does have a lower batting average than Bhajji as a specialist bat.

So there's that.

 

[viriya]

And as usual, Arnold sucks off his mate Jehan.. "best fielder in the side" stfu please.
