India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Warnapura 51 runs off 54 balls .Excellent batting .He paced the Srilankan innings well.Eight boundaries and a six.

Sangakara 56 off 75 balls,he too done well,as usual :) with eight boundaries.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

warnapura for president!

ur prediction have come true sehwag made 201 but india all out at 329

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Yes... Indeed I had predicted it before the match started.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

India strikes back through Turbanator . SL 196/5 ,54.2 overs :)

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

This die hard takes four wickets.All top order batsmen. Kudos to Bhaaji. :)

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Jayawardne's are at crease.

Rogers 205/5

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

The Islanders 213/5,recovering well.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Just one over remaining for the day.

So today was a day full of events.India resumed the play with Veeru and Lax at the crease and then lost wickets at regular intervels ,with no ample support from anybody for Veeru.But he continued with his rythm and momentum went on scored his double ton and the in the last wicket stance Ishant gave him a good support while Veeru was on the verge of scoring his double ton.Once he scored his double ton,Ishant got out.Srilanka has used up all their third umpire appeals.

Then lankans started but lost one early wicket but came back after that.Then turbanator striked with four wickets.

The final Srilankan score on their first innings on day two is 215/5

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

bhajjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Will there be a result for this test match?

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Finally the Sardar does something of note.

Did not see the match....but it looks like (from reading on Cricinfo) that Karthik missed a regulation stumping chance against Sangakarra.....and Gambhir dropped a sharp catch towards the end.

So the Indian fielding lapses have not stopped.

vs. Australia (2001)
vs. Sri Lanka (2008)
vs. Hong Kong (2015) (Hong Kong will be world power by then :p)

good job, did you make any out of it? :aq:

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Okay....it is established....Kumble has become practically useless with the ball.
He is hardly troubling the batsman.

Come to think of it, except for Laxman....the so-called "Seniors" have made ZERO contribution to India's cause so far in this series.

Irfan Pathan would have done better spin bowling than Kumble and would have batted better than Gangu/Dravid.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Meanwhile....Bhaji takes a fiver.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Apparently the pitch is beginning to turn appreciably.

Doesn't look like India will score much in the 2nd innings.

And India cannot stop SL from achieving the target with just ONE spinner (Bhaji).

That reminds me why has Sehwag not been given a bowl yet.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Meanwhile...back at the ranch....SL 255/7

Kumble (yes...Cap10 Kumble) takes out Vaas.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

Very interesting predictions being made about India's potential 2nd innings score by the public on Cricbuzz....
Sample:
100 ---> Gambhir
30 ----> Sehwag
10 ----> (Dravid+Tendu+Gangu+Laxman+Karthik) :)
20-----> (tailenders)

160 all out.

SL would need around 200 to win the Test.

Re: India Vs Srilanka...Second Test........

India's bowling is WEAK.....very WEAK.

As much as I hate Harbhajan....he looks like the only bowler who can take wickets for India in this Test Match.
