as some of you know, this is virtual semi final for India and Sri Lanka to get into Finals against Australia
teams have gone with 5 bowler policy
SL started with a bang courtesy Jayasuria, but currently sitting at 91/5 and in some trouble especially since they know they have to win this match
Indian batting is pretty fragile, so if SL manages to get around 200-230, they can make a game out of this

Re: India v Sri Lanka, 11th ODI, CB Series, Hobart
Why is India in a rush? Is there rain expected so they have to play 'safe' for D/L method?

No, there is no rain expected...
Didnt think they were in a rush, infact they played pretty patiently, the pitch was just good, and sri lankans gave up after the start by Tendulkar and Gambhir
Re: India v Sri Lanka, 11th ODI, CB Series, Hobart
It is interesting to see Dhoni translating for Praveen Kumar. A little of Hindi was sandwiched in between.
Re: India v Sri Lanka, 11th ODI, CB Series, Hobart
what was so interesting?^
hehe, praveen just gave one word answers in his interviews :D
dhoni, more used to what media want, gave longer answers on his behalf
How does it feel?
-feels good
Must be nice to get your 1st couple of ODI wickets...
-yes it felt good
but was definitely good to see him do well, another player (like dhoni, munaf...) from the outskirts of India
Re: India v Sri Lanka, 11th ODI, CB Series, Hobart
Poor performance by Sri Lanka. India deserved the win :k:
