***Official*** Sri Lanka in India 2017

[vcs]

Oh what a shot..

 

[vcs]

Would like to see some application from Ashwin here. Has let himself down with the bat of late.

 

[Spark]

Smog stopped play?

 

[vcs]

Delhi is horribly polluted.

[Spark]

So what provisions are there in the laws for this? What can the umps do, assuming this comes under unsafe playing conditions?

 

[vcs]

Apparently Ranji matches have been abandoned over this in the past. It's been an ongoing issue in the media recently about Delhi's air quality. They shouldn't have scheduled this match here at this time of the year.

 

[vcs]

This reflects horribly on Delhi.

 

[vcs]

Well, they've picked up Ashwin off the first delivery after the restart. Maybe it was all a plan by SL.

 

[Shri]

What part of the body does Delhi not ruin? First belly, now lungs.

Ashwin's planning for the long term. He didn't want to be out there running hard between the wickets and breathing in pollution and risk his future health.

So apparently the Lankan fielders are wearing face masks. What the ****.

 

[BigCaine]

Great job from BCCI scheduling this match. Great for image of India

Worse than chennai ftr.

 

[srbhkshk]

Nah, this is bullshit...

 

[vcs]

**** it, SL just don't want to play apparently. So many stoppages.

 

[Daemon]

Haha I did ask about this before the series. I really hope the game is cancelled tbh.

 

[vcs]

Yeah, if something comes out of this and they actually do something about the air quality in Delhi, it would all have been worth it.

Not holding my breath though (pun intended).

Kohli declares.

 

[Burgey]

lol rahane

 

[Burner]

God damn it Kohli. Would have really loved to see SL fielding with their physios. Damn you

 

[OverratedSanity]

Herath isn't playing. I will admit though, I'm not exactly paying close attention to this series; it doesn't exactly promsie enthralling cricket.

First test was genuinely an amazing contest. Easy to forget since we've bossed it since then.
