Tournament favorites India, after being upset by Australia in the previous match, are all set to take on Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka wins the toss, with Sehwag losing the toss instead of Dhoni. All 3 openers are in the line-up, thus making it a remote possibility that the middle order Indian batsmen may even get a chance to bat.
Aswin, Sehwag and Parthiv Patel replace Kannan, Rohit and Dhoni.
All are invited.

Aaliya, Sri Lanka narrowly escaped another loss at India's hands. Today, please prepare for a pummelling.

Looks like both Tendulkar and BCCI are waiting for 100th 100, as soon as that is achieve both will disown each other i.e. one will retire or other will say 'please have some rest your highness'.
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
I still have doubt as Sachin really wants to play next World Cup and BCCI will surely help him to make this unique record of playing 7 WC :cobra:

Brilliant catch by Sehwag- diving to his left in short midwicket.

Unnecessary unsporting run out attempt by Ashwin
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
Sehwag decided not to take the run out - good
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
Actually I take it back - Thirumanne keeps taking wrong start after repeated warning - commentators are giving Thirumanne a hard time
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
He is taking early start every ball!!!!
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
Hope today Sachin will score a century :cobra: Agar nah hoi to next match main sahi 
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
Mathew 
48.4
Raina to Mathews, SIX, wow! what a hit from Mathews, one of the flattest sixes you will see, powered over a leaping Kohli at long-on, Kohli tried his best but that was too hot for him
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
Another surprise. Kohli to bowl the final over. Sehwag doesn’t have too much faith in India’s specialists at the end …

Tendulkar has decided that he will hit his 100th 100 when he has played 100 matches since his last 100.
Re: Commonwealth Bank Series, 8th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Brisbane, Feb 21, 2012
India 0/1
Sehwag gone.
