Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
49.4 Ishant to Warnapura, no run, short on the middle and leg, hurries onto the left hander, Warnapura tries to pull, off the hips to the keeper, stifled appeal for a caught behind goes down, will the Indians ask for a review, no they don't, they have lost one already!
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
Lunch, day 2
Sri Lanka: 205/2 (59.0 Ovs)
There was some excitement all through.
1. Warnapura was caught off a no ball
2. there was a leg before appeal against him which was asked for a review by India. India lost the referral.
3. Jayawardene was dropped by Karthik on 55
4. Warnapura reaching his 2nd test century.
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
On another note, Dave Richardson of the ICC was in the commentary box just before the lunch session and had the same views as the majority; that the ummpire's authority is getting called upon. He also talked about Steve Bucknor's effigies being burnt in India and that, coupled with the authority of on-field umpires being questioned, it is 'not good for the game'.

When I visit Cricinfo, it displays an advt --- "Find the perfect Indian Partner in California".
Now I know that it can tell I am in California from my IP, but how the heck does it know I am an Indian. Is it just taking a good guess ? Or does it feel that all people who visit Cricinfo deserve an "Indian" partner, given their interest in Cricket.
Anywhoooo.......3 Sri Lankan ceturions in a day.....the only thing Test Matches in the subcontinent is good for.
bcuz… you got about 55% of the users on cricinfo being desis… moreover 44% being Indians: cricinfo.com - Traffic Details from Alexa

hmm i never noticed...funny i get the same thing...dont hardly look at the ads..
neways looks like another sad advertisement for cricket SL 422/4 with rain and a placid slow low pitch and no help for the bowlers--all things look to be poiinting to a draw.
Hmmm. Fascinating. 44% of the users are Indians but it’s traffic rank is 14 in Pakistan while 22 across the border.
Just like I used to be 4th-5th on merit in my class while guy/gal from other “SECTION” with same % used to be 1st or 2nd in their class 
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test — Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
Ohh man…
Test matches in Asia are so boring 
Dislhan got his 5th century in the last over before Lunch ..
i think srilanka should declare now
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
Looks like India is going to follow on.
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
inshallah
Is it still boring? 
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
I think we'll see a result on the evening of the fourth day. :)
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test — Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
I thought we’ll see Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid scoring centuries… but

Nah game is going to the last day. Middle order is not going to throw it away in 2nd inning again, Shewag will ...! plus Laxman is still there. Its hard to avoid follow on, but he can waste valuable time
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
So M&M dismantled India's much vaunted batting easily...but I am more concerned of our bowling. India's bowling is practically toothless on an unfriendly track.
We don't have a tearaway fast bowler OR an exceptional spinner in our ranks who can perform regardless of the pitch. Ishant is apparently the best we have got, and that is not good enough.
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
btw, something is really wrong with Dravid's batting these days.
Mr Wall has become more like Mr Tunnel apparently.
He has hardly been scoring of late (including in the IPL)...and got out cheaply even in the side game in SL.
