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

[TheJammyTurtle]

This Lanka batting line up looks good on paper but just hasn't performed in the slightest.Couple of players who are dead certs in the line up (Kusal,Mathews) need to try and take more responsibility and stop leaving it to 6,7 and 8 to score the runs,or face being dropped.

Well, you are in for some painful times ahead.

I know.

Seriously what is the point of this series? Only compounded by cancelling some hard games in the winter to play against SL again. Only one reason they've done that...

 

[Arachnodouche]

For the team, maybe, for cricket, definitely not






Although I feel the same when Ashwin takes wickets...

Has any Test team's star batsman -bowler tandem been more dislikeable?

SL are really dreadful in this series, but it was hard to know that in advance. Rangana has fallen off badly and it's hurting them. Only last year they beat Australia 3-0. Can't read too much into their losses in RSA, since the conditions are so alien. I guess their struggles against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe were warning signs, and things are getting even worse. They've usually always given India a good test in all formats, even beat them in the recent CT.

Guys in India, if you shell out ₹ 50 for a month's premium account on Sony LIV, you can see even the Extra Innings analysis packages from all days of this series so far. As well as getting it live on the app and the website.

I paid the 50 and the video still doesn't work.

I wish extracover and all the dodgy free ********* sites would come back, they used to be far more reliable.

Really? When there is a team called Australia around??

You need to register your ID dude. Did you do that?

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

Think they've not cancelled the South Africa tour but just postponed it till January

 

[vcs]

Yes, I did all that. Got the OTP and all. Clicked on the play button on the video and it doesn't work.

Nothing was set in stone for it to be "cancelled" is my point. Marc just trying the usual smartass response with llittle meat.

That is odd. Are you trying it off your computer? Try with Chrome.

 

[vcs]

Tried firefox and IE

 

[harsh.ag]

Should have another slip here.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah try with Chrome else get the app. Its not very big in terms of size and memory space you will need.

 

[honestbharani]

Karunaratne is very much a second innings batsman, isn't he?

Yeah very strange.Kind of represents the mould of this Sri Lanka in the backs against the wall sense

Any reasonable person would count "was on the FTP and everyone was proceeding on the basis of it happening but it is no longer" as a good working definition of "cancelled".

Looking at the crapinfo for Tharanga's dismissal. When did 'nip-backer' become a type of delivery. What happened to 'off cutter' or 'seam movement'. Not quite as irritating as calling swing 'shape' though.
