India should bat them out. Make sure there is zero chance of SL winning.
Yeah, I get that.. don't want to leave any chances of losing and all that, but there's only 3.5 sessions left. Let's be honest, SL aren't getting 400+.

agree with the commentator and really don't like the idea of night watchmen- especially when our proper batsmen cant bat !

Pujara striking at 87 while Dhawan languishes at 42. What a day.
Pujara is always good in these situations. How often has he guided us home in potentially tricky 4th innings chases. Comes out and plays spinners fluently.
Yes Pukara has a tendency to score quick in tricky situations. Remember him playing a stroke filled knock against AUS in 2010 in 4th innings.

On debut.

He used to do this a lot more often back in the day though. I recall him going at good clips in the 2013 whitewash of Australia and against few other teams at home when he was averaging 60+.

He absolutely dominated Steyn and Philander in his 153 at Joburg. He started off 9 in 60 balls or something and got his next hundred at better than a run a ball.

He played well in Mohali last year also when we were chasing ~100 against England. He's almost always good in these situations, in these conditions at least. He also made some decent declaration runs at a fast clip against NZ and Bangladesh.

Why no Chandimal in One day squad. For gods sake. He just scored a good century against Strong indian team only to be dropped from odi squad. What's the point in taking others when you have in form batsmen. Don't know what's wrong with SL board

Good grief. We're never going to get out of this rut with all these politicians jumping into the scene. What a clown!
Disce Ammata is going on a power trip here. He's a useless ****ing moron.

I thought the regime under Nishantha was bad looks like we've gone from the frying pan into the fire.

Weird post for this thread tbh, but just to clarify I have never seen tape ball cricket in India, it's more of a Pakistani (and maybe Afghani?) thing.

ive seen tape ball being played even in singapore haha

Itstl. Do people still use these in India?





I remember we'd start the day with about 6 and lose them all by the end.
