Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
India heading towards a sure defeat (Test and Series).
And this is exactly how it should be.
You can't expect to win a series with your middle order firing not even once.

He looks very innocent behind the stumps too. Probably feels like he is in a police station.

Looks like MTV played a practical joke on Parthiv...or as they say, made him an MTV bakra

Thank you for that Captain Obvious.
Good call on the score though, you were pretty close, sadly :(
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
^Was it that obvious....I haven't watched MTV in ages...and I just watched half the clip above and guessed from the MTV logo on the screen.
Anyways, as far as cricket goes...I fear the current pattern will continue in the ODI series...since M&M remain unplayable for the most part (even though the middle order will be different).
I strongly advise you to join the pessimist club (of which I am the President). You will never be disappointed by Indian performances such as this. And Indian victories will come as unexpected pleasant surprise.

I am waiting for Typical VVS style back to the wall, classy attacking inning, that would make my day!

Dravid and Laxman push lead past 50 - Cricinfo headline currently
I think the editor of cricinfo is part of that pessimist club Mr. President, he or she seems surprised that India has gone past the psychologically high landmark of 50 runs. And accoring to cricinfo, 2 dropped catches in the last 3 overs + Laxman is limping out there but he has managed to brave it out so far. Gambhir is the byerunner for him. Things dont look too good for India. Hopefully dravid and laxman will step up.
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
Must be intimidating to face M&M for these guys. I am sitting here at home and every ball makes me nervous that a wicket will fall.
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
Sri Lankans have already exhausted all their reviews ??

Yeah I am enjoying the match currently (till these 2 are there). Dravid is looking in control for the first time in a long time, thats who he is. Laxman having some trouble reading Mendis, but you can see the determination as always.
A lead of around 175 would be good in the current circumstance. 250 would make it interesting. A lot depends on Dravid and Laxman
From an Indian perspective Tendu and Ganguly have been huge disappointments in this series, both averaging around just 16!!
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
Watching dravid bat against Spin is nothing but pure education, it saddens me how boring test batting will be after he ends career.
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
^a lead of 250? That would be around 400 runs, impossible in my opinion. India would be extremely lucky to get a lead of 175. Agree with you on tendu and ganguly.
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
Muralitharan to Kumble, 1 run, dropped by short leg. It was the flighted off break on the middle, jabbed off the inside edge and off the pad to the left of the fielder who reached out with both hands but couldn’t hold on.
Mendis to Laxman, no run, dropped by Warnapura at short leg. It was a loopy delivery full and on the middle and leg, flicked away - bat and pad - to left of Warnapura who lunged but clanged the head-high catch
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
kumble calls for review AGAIN, he is plumb AGAIN.
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
its lunch break right now and cricinfo commentary says
"Join us in a short while for the run chase." Now that's harsh to Indian fans (India is not out yet).
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
Lankans are 23/2
require another 99 runs with 8 wickets remaining
Re: India Vs Srilanka 3 rd Test (Operation Poomalai Vs.Operation Vijayasikuru)
India with a dismal performance!!!
