Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
**Great performance by legend in his last test
Its 4th day of the match so Srilanka must enforce follow-on ..
They have just bowled 65 overs, so bowlers shouldn't be tired

Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Murli's 67th time 5 wickets in a test match, what an achievement, what a player, Murali, you are a true champion.

Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Dravid and Sachine playing very sensibly and clearly showing their class and making difference between Indian T20 players Youraj /Dhooni and company ......
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
What a player Murli is. Just 3 more wickets. I hope he gets those 3 even if game ends in a Draw.
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Malinga got both Dravid and Tendulkar. India 172 for 4 still 72 runs behind. Couple of more wickets and SL will be in the tail of India. With one whole day left (weather permitting), Its will be tough work for India to save this ...
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali’s last test
Youvraj gone too perhaps in the last over of the day’s play. Murli got him. Murli now has 798 wickets :k:
just 2 more wickets …cmon murli …
I hope it does not rain tomorrow…
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
I think this is the best batting line up by India and they can't induct more batsmen in their team :D .... Its reminding me the series against Pakistan in which Immi got played off the Indian even at that time on paper Indian's team was very strong .... I can't look the cricinfo else share the series stats :(
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Bakvaas performance by the Indians. They need to rely on rain to save this now - that's not how the #1 team should be saving games.
Heres hoping for the rain !! Also Murali to get to 800 wks!
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Ind 201/7 still needs to trail 42 runs to avoid follow on .....
** Murali looking for his 800th victim** only 1 wkt required ....what a performance by this legend in his last test
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Looks like it will be the perfect end to Murali's career.
SL to win this soon.
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Mithu & Luxman saved India from Inning defeat ...... 43 runs partnership from 84 balls but mostly contribution from Mithu (30)
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Ind 257/8 Murli still needs one wicket and back into the attack after dismissal of Mithu by Malina .....
Malinga's performance in this test is the** best all-round performance** from a Sri Lankan cricketer till date beating Vaas who had taken 6 wickets and scored 51 runs against New Zealand. . Malinga has now taken 7 wickets and scored 64 runs.
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
292/8
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Rahul Dravid** 44**** (152)
Sachin Tendulkar 85** (142)
VVS Laxman** 58 * **** (**117)
these 3 Really showed their class as a test cricketer and proven that Indian's still need them even they are losing the match but still trying their best ....
Pakistan should learn from India and try to include seniors in their team
Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
**1 wicket left for India ...
Murli need 1 wicket to get to the magic figure of 800 ...
tailenders are on crease ... and Malinga is bowling

Re: 1st Test: IND v SLA @ Galle, July 18-22 - Murali's last test
Drinks are on the field now. If VVS had stayed out there, who knows what would have happened as the clouds look threatening. Rain is forecast for later in the afternoon.
