Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test at Galle

I agree with Rahane and love of captain for some players but most of the captains do the same thing. Ashwin did sooper bowling and it seems Harbajan period is over. May be Rohit will score double in next match

Pujara is a sound batsman and need to be in the team. rohit to be kept for ODI and T20.

I hope not. That would mean Nohit would be retained for another 15 Tests.

Sooper is Chennai expression for super. How u know dat

Herath ney again sub ko herat mein daal diya!

This was totally unexpected. It wasn’t day 5 and the pitch wasn’t misbehaving. Indian batsmen surely lost the plot as 176 was not a huge total to chase on this wicket. Herath (7/48) was the star of today but Chandimal was deservingly adjudged the man of the match. His 162* gave Lanka outside hope. Herath (4/15) also had a hand in the unlikely win against us at Galle in 2009 when Pakistan needing 168 for victory were all out for 117. When Herath gets it (spin) going, he is tough to negotiate in Lankan conditions for sure.

They showed a graphic yesterday. Herath has 22 5 wicket hauls in an inning from 61 tests. Like scoring 22 centuries in 61 tests.

Muthiah Muralitharan has 67 5 wicket hauls in his career. Must have been some bowler

Herath bowling was a shocker. I beleive Pk batters negotiated him very well by keep attacking. WHile indians bogged dwon.

Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test at Galle

Very true.

Misha at number 10 actually played him positively. Ashwin also was playing him well. These were the only two who used their feet.

Ashwin got out playing what looked like a good shot -using his feet he hit Herath (granted against the turn) to midwicket. It looked like the ball was going through. But Chandimal took a stunner moving wide to his right.

There were about 5 or 6 great catches in that Indian 2nd inning. Catchis do win matchis
