***Official*** Sri Lanka in India

[Jono]

Also both Vaas and Fernando have been warned about following through on the pitch as they bowl, Vaas has been warned twice and it's obviously effecting his bowling.

Dhoni and Sehwag, particularly Dhoni absolutely belting the SL bowlers all around the park. Maharoof is getting smashed, now he knows how it feels considering what he did to Pathan earlier

 

[Jono]

Here's an early prediction though, Sehwag to be dismissed for less than or equal to 40 runs in this innings. I give him 40 runs because i'm an optimist, but I dont see him doing well in the second innings. Most likely, he'll hit a couple of boundaries and then be on his way back.

Sehwag out for 39

 

[GladiatrsInBlue]

Dhoni is just superb , Lankan bowlers are getting Dhonified today.


Indian OD team seems to be on its way up!

 

[Zinzan]

Wow, India need less than 5 an over with just over 25 overs remaining.....Not bad when u start the innings needing 6

 

[Jono]

Awesome hundred by Dhoni, but he's gotta keep going. With Dravid out, he has to ensure India get to the target, he can't throw his wicket away.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Cricinfo says he seems to be suffering from cramp - probably why he's now turning down singles and resorting to carting it over the ropes then!

Stunning innings, let's hope it keeps going for India's sake.

I wonder if Trevor Chesterfield is Tommy Raudonikis' half brother

 

[parttimer]

The 4's and 6's are coming so fast the comms are getting about as excited as a block down the pitch

 

[Jono]

150 for Dhoni!!!

 

[Barney Rubble]

India seem to be coasting it now, 22 needed off 36. That shouldn't be any trouble at all.

Make that 14 needed off 34 - Dhoni paddles it for two and then launches his 8th maximum by blasting Chandana over extra cover. What an extraordinary innings.

EDIT: And another one over long-off - unbelievable.

 

[Jono]

Oh Dhoni, just phenomenal!

 

[Jono]

HE HITS A SIX TO WIN!

Ten sixes in his innings, breaking the record for the most sixes hit by an Indian in ODIs. What an amazing knock, and it just caps off how he played to hit a six to win the game for India.

His 183 is also the highest ever score by a wicket keeper in ODIs, replacing Gilly's 172 against Zimbabwe back in 2003/04.

India 3-0 up and looking pretty damn good!

 

[Jamee999]

He'd've made 200 if they'd batted first.

 

[Adamc]

Just saw the scorecard a few minutes ago, couldn't believe Dhoni made 183*! That's crazy, and I just know we're never going to hear the end of it, either.

 

[luckyeddie]

He'd've made 200 if they'd batted first.

300, surely?

 

[andyc]

Absolutely crazy stuff from Dhoni. Phenomenal

 

[Dizzy #4]

dang, what a great Innings by Dhoni, thought he lloked a chance for the 200, Maybe if they batted first. Bad luck Sri Lanka......................

 

[Majin]

The lack of sky TV in my house saddens me, I'd have dearly loved to see this match. Cricinfo isn't working either so I can't read the bulletin. ;_; It sounds like it was an amazing knock so far.

 

[Dasa]

Wow...what a stunning knock by Dhoni. After SL made almost 300 I didn't think India were going to get close, but Dhoni was just amazing.
