Well he has been promoted to number 3 to hit it out, not to show good technique :-)

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

Its a good tactic India is finally laying off the stars and employing newer promising all rounders.

Well Done Tendu....came back after long time and scored a quickfire 50.....still going on......

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

Maharoof's nightmare start continues....conceded 11 in 2nd over......0-28 off 2 overs so far.

He is usually very economical bowler.

Since ganguly has been missing from the action lately, you guys can see this video and remember him.

150 up for india in 23 overs

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

pathan on fire ...one more SIX

pathan 62(47)(4x7, 6x3 )

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

one more six to chandana

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

23.4 Chandana to Pathan, SIX, six more! and that's another might blow -
Chandana tosses it up, Pathan comes down the track and lofts it
away well over the long-on fence, this time into the stands she
goes - crowd goes wild
23.3 Chandana to Pathan, no run, played away to square leg
23.2 Chandana to Pathan, SIX, one again good use of the feet and this
time it's even better, hits straight down the ground and the ball
sails over the ropes - Pathan on a roll here
23.1 Chandana to Pathan, FOUR, tossed up, Pathan comes down the track
and lofts it away to the long-off fence, Chandana under pressure
straight away!

Interesting ==>

Sachin Tendulkar batting 68* (73)
Irfan Pathan batting 69* (49)

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

doesn’t it get slow so in the 2nd innings or even later stages of 1st innings dificult to score ??? (like it was at the Kotla earlier this year)

while i write Tendu hits dilshan (and now dil-stun) for a six over midwicket

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

178-1 after 26 overs ..... looks like SL is in for real spanking today ...... hope Dravid don't coms in once a wicket falls ..... would slow down the scoring rate ...... would like to see yuvi next ...... but pathan has been Afridi-like today (with the exception that pathan had a good shot selection sofar)

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

While all this sixes/fours look exciting , the fact is ...this is not a sporting wicket like most in India. Too lop-sided in favor of the batsmen...and nothing for the bowlers.

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

Irfan Pathan c M Jayawardene b T Dilshan 84 (69B, 4x8, 6x4)

well played ..

scahin batting on 91 * (94)

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

the other important thing is who is scoring them …

Re: India vs Sri Lanka - ODI 1, Nagpur 0330 GMT, 1130 EASTERN

sachin gone on 93
