*Official* SriLanka in India 2022

Good ball

 

[Xix2565]

Not like this

Murali Karthik looks at the scoreboard and goes "So many starts but no one converting it into a big score". bro a guy got 96, that's not a "start". This really annoys me. Lot of commentators imply there is no difference between a start and an almost ton. So dumb.

tbf I would like to see someone score a 'daddy hundred' in these conditions. 96 or 104 are nice but you'd still want the batter to kick on and make 150, 200 etc.

Pant unlucky tho. SL have bowled well, good balls to get Iyer/Kohli/Pant, but Rohit/Mayank/Vihari have defo thrown away starts.

Let's see what our spin trio can manage with the bat. Would like at least 400.

Yeah but Karthik said that specifically because Pant got out in the 90s. Dumb **** wouldnt have said it if Pant got 4 more runs and then got out.

 

[Xix2565]

It's Murali Karthik, half the time you'd find more cricketing commentary in Phineas and Ferb.

 

[Xix2565]

357-6 (85) is alright, shame about Pant's miss. Aim for 450, 500 tomorrow?

 

[cnerd123]

400 first. could easily be 380 all out if we lose 2 early tomorrow.

This is why when we're talking about conversion rates and such on here I don't really like fixating on the 50s/100s ratio. Like with any other single stat, it's a decent general indicator but it's also a blunt enough tool that a few runs here and there can skew it a lot without having had more than a marginal difference on a match

yeah and its what makes cricket so much more subjective too. I have seen some guys try the match context type formulae for the numbers but even those are not great coz one great knock could still skew the numbers. Its so fascinating to discuss with reasonable people though.

well OS will tell you the 50s/100s ratio is scandalous anyway

Pant already has 5 scores in the 90s in his 28 games. For comparison Tendulkar had 10 after 200 games.

 

[Xix2565]

Nice to see the minute of silence for Warne, SL starting with spin today.

 

[Xix2565]

BCCI not counting ICC wickets for Murali smfh.

 

[Xix2565]

Also Lahiru Kumara isn't back yet from his injury so SL are still down one bowler.

 

[Xix2565]

Let's go Ashwin! Another 50 for the great spinner

 

[honestbharani]

There are not too many test match partnerships of 100 from 136 balls that has seemed so inevitable and so par for course.

Any test partnership of a 100 in 136 balls will usually make you think there has been some breathtaking strokeplay.

That said, Ashwin has to be the batsman with the most breathtaking shot making skills to average 26, lol.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This has been unforgivably easy going for India. SL arent even trying at this point.

 

[Xix2565]

Noooo

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah the fact that they have had a long on, deep midwicket , deep square leg and a deep point for Jadeja who has not hit a single ball in the air except when he pulled half trackers a couple of times, shows how bad they have been.
