**Official** Sri Lanka in India 2014

[Jono]

Horrible batting. Clearly cbf

 

[Daemon]

Mathews can't do anything wrong today

 

[Jono]

Good job jinxing him Demon. Misfielded and then got spanked for 3 boundaries in his over.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Angelo is so damn good. Have a feeling he wouldn't have scored a ton today if he wasn't pissed about the way Sri Lanka have played this series. Just the fact that you can see he cares deeply about how the team does even if it's about as meaningless as a series cangget is just a fabulous attitude to have. Been my favourite cricketer of the year.

 

[Pratters]

Rayudu has a nervous energy in these games. Running for every thing as well. Not liking this aspect right now but I can see him playing the XI ahead of Rahane.

 

[Daemon]

Looks all too easy for India atm. Mathews needs to try something different, maybe a fielder behind the bowlers arm.

 

[Daemon]

ffs, thought we were going to see Jadhav in next

 

[Daemon]

Had no idea Robin was a Kardashian

 

[Arjun]

What do you think of Jadhav's innings? In a way, it's good that he didn't get even a fifty, because we've seen several players getting carried away with a debut 50+ and doing little else. He's got it in him to play at five or six for the entire World Cup, and has the strike rate to make it count.

Not really the best day for this Indian top five, though.

 

[Pratters]

Loving the dogged spirit of the Lankans. Hell bent on winning this.

 

[Daemon]

Good stuff from the Lankans, can't believe they've made a game out of this. 50-50 from here on I reckon.

 

[ankitj]

Those were the days when chase like this uses to be full of nerves. Irrespective of whether India win it or not, there are absolutely no nerves to be seen.

 

[viriya]

Mathews really doesnt deserve to lose this one... But his team is just ****.

21 hundreds in 146 matches from Kohli. WAG!

 

[Pratters]

Wow. Virat Kohli. :o

 

[weldone]

When you compare with other 9 players in the highest number of centuries list, Kohli's matches/centuries ratio is almost Bradman-esque. His ratio is 7, the next one is Tendulkar at 9.4. All others have 1 century per 11.8 matches or more.

Player Matches Centuries Matches/Century
Tendulkar 463 49 9.4
Ponting 375 30 12.5
Jayasuriya 445 28 15.9
Ganguly 311 22 14.1
Gayle 258 21 12.3
Gibbs 248 21 11.8
Kohli 146 21 7.0
Anwar 247 20 12.4
Lara 299 19 15.7
Sangakkara 383 19 20.2
