***Official*** India's Tour of Sri Lanka 2017

[OverratedSanity]

This is incredibly dull

 

[vcs]

The youtube session-by-session highlights of this match are so poorly edited. Contain lots of pointless ****, like batsmen and fielders walking on and off the ground, replays on reviewed decisions, etc. and not much actual highlights. I guess we should be thankful that they're at least uploading something.

The highlights of Dhawan / Pujara's knocks had such cheesy thumbnails I was shocked they came from the official broadcasters.

I lilke the fact that they upload all of the analysis stuff though. You usually see the highlights missed in the session highlights during those. And its good to see Harsha hosting a cricket broadcast again.

Holy **** this day has been tedious to watch. One team just building a lead and the other just going through the motions. It doesn't happen that often but when it does, it's putrid to watch.

Nice to see Kohli downhill ski to some sort of form

India just 2 runs away from kissing the 500 lead mark. With Galle's weather as unpredicatble as my ex-girlfriend, Virat Kohli will surely have some target in his mind come first session on Day 4

4 day test matches are the future.

 

[mr_mister]

Perfectly acceptable strategy and I'm sure they'll accelerate and provide entertainment this morning


What y'all worried about

 

[mr_mister]

also, possibly a very important confidence rebuilding innings for Virat

 

[NUFAN]

What y'all worried about

Not worried but 55% chance of rain today and 100% chance on day 5 makes the decision to bat third questionable at the very least.

 

[honestbharani]

Think they have scored at a good enough clip already. And its the first test of a 3 test series. And we lost in the 4th inning from a position of strength last time we played here. Not exactly a stupid decision to not enforce the follow on in these conditions. Guess some posters are worried about the rain factor but we will take it as it comes. I have come around to the dont enforce the follow on rationale over a period of time now.

 

[Contra]

Can't see India batting for more than half an hour, or Kohli's century, whichever comes first.

 

[Burgey]

Virat really at his best under pressure here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Amazing hundred in the most trying of circumstances. What a batsman.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Btw, does Kohli have the best conversion rate ever for any batsman with a reasonable number of hundreds (say 10+)? 17 hundreds to 14 "50s".

 

[srbhkshk]

Virat should have made a duck here to please CW people, shame on him for making a hundred.

 

[Contra]

Yeah needed this knock just to get out of a string of low scores, but why are they still batting now? Need to get off and bowl
