India in Sri Lanka 2012 | 2nd ODI | Hambantota | July 24th

[velu]

Teams:

India (From): Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni(w/c), Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashok Dinda, Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Pragyan Ojha, Irfan Pathan, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Rahul Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Manoj Tiwary

No kula for SL , so SL wont drop Malinga
Dhoni will never ever change his team in the middle of the series , so Rohit sharma will be playing.
Sehwag has promised that he will improve his running between the wickets.

Let the pahainty continue

I am gonna bash if someone says Rohit Sharma is talented, this guy never ever looked solid to me, he just has a number of aggressive shots in his repository that is it.
Ajinkya Rahane should be given a chance imho.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Would be keeping a track of Kohli, Umesh n Rohit's performances.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Come on Kohli , another phainta please.

 

[Yuri]

I see another Kohli ton coming. :AAG:
But most importantly, I want Umesh to do better than the first match. He didn't look good at all.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

He was the one bowling around 140 k mark on those low pitches & got Chandimal n Sanga wickets. Not bothered about economy, he should just bowl fast & get wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

India is likely to win again , unless SL keep them down to 260 - 270.

 

[Justcrazy]

With the Olympics around the corner, this series will be lower on the list of priorities.

[amlafan79]

should ve dropped rohit and played rahane at opening or no 3

 

[velu]

2 s , new bowler is afraid of sehwag

 

[velu]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

15 / 0

 

[velu]

anoither wide , 4th one in this over

 

[velu]

5 wides in this over so far )

 

[Justcrazy]

India looking good.

 

[velu]

ends with a :4

 

[Justcrazy]

India likely to win this one. Poor stuff by SL.

 

[Justcrazy]

23 / 0 after 2 overs

 

[velu]

:4 :4

 

[velu]

31/0 after 3 overs

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

31/0 in 2.4 overs

It's so improtant to have a player like Sanath/ Gilly/ Sehwag/ Gayle @ the top of the innings there will be some interest in the fans even if it's a one sided match / contest to watch the match.

 

[Justcrazy]

India hammering along here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good start here by India.

 

[Justcrazy]

Malinga has been useless against India.

 

[velu]

sehwag

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

JusCrazy bhai's jinx worked

Delhi lad comes into replace Veeru, hoping that he does well

 

[Justcrazy]

Relief for SL will be short lived as Kohli will walk in

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli is a legend ....... what a Talent

3700 runs almost after 87 games. A class act.

 

[velu]

kohli gon..

Nohit in

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

33 / 2

 

[velu]

Rohit sharma gone

 

[RWAC]

I've been watching Rohit since the WC last year. Why do people keep saying he's talented?

When your fav. player fails, the only defense that fanboys present is that, 'He has talunt'.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Raina gone .... what's happening here!!!

[Akmal Dynasty]

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

India still have batting left ........... GG is a good ODI batsman. Pathan can Bat.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Goodness, what's Jayasuriya doing in the commentator's box? What a pain!!

250 is very much possible, but will take quite some effort.

[IAJ]

Last time I watched the action India were some 31/0 and now 60/5.

 

[leatherface58]

india 300 last game not even 100 this time? is the pitch and conditions that tough or is it just poor batting and good bowling?

 

[amateurdentist]

collapse of pakistani proportions

May be 'Talunt' does not hold much importance to you:umarakmal

 

[Amjid Javed]

Didnt expect Indias batting to flop like this!

 

[velu]

he has got good average vs WIndie and decent vs NZ , vs rest aveage to poor

 

[style_guru]

he has got good average vs WIndie and decent vs NZ , vs rest aveage to poor

Ok. But why dont you use arguments like, Rohit is still young, he played a great knock in xyz match, he doesnt have a fixed batting position, he puts on nice lipstick......Oh wait, no lipstick

 

[velu]

^^

you want to ping Bullet Drive right )
He likes both of these youngstas

 

[IAJ]

SL should go fo a kill here. Only four more wickets now.

This match is already dead, my friend. India 85/6 aint gonna make 150 even.

 

[amateurdentist]

i think india can still cross 200. maybe go upto 220. ashwin can bat and ghambir is there

You never know in cricket man. Even 150 can be defendable, even for the worst of attacks.

 

[IAJ]

So far this Udana looks like a seriously poor bowler. No pace at all, hardly 123 kph and bowling too short and wide. Easy pickings for batsmen.

Needs to get more control of his bowling.

 

[IAJ]

Lols what bad cricket! Ashwin :

 

[RWAC]

R. Ashwin. Run Out. Story of his life.

Why are you sad about Rohit playing? Will be India's best batsman of the future for sure. He's only played 80 odd ODI's & has batted 77 times. He's not had a consistent batting position too.

He's opened 3 times. He's batted at 3 8 times. He's batted at 4 24 times and he's batted at 5 23 times. He's also batted at 6 12 times and at 7 7 times. Where's the consistency? He needs to be given a long run somewhere. I'd say at 5. He averages 50 batting at 5.

 

[Bullet Drive]

India are now 8 now. 113-8. What's up with them!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Gambhir should be protecting the tail enders in my view.

Yes. But what do you do when everyone in your team, plays like a tail ender

 

[Asif321]

lankan lions with a win ... they like loosing 1st one of series and then
win the series ...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yes. But what do you do when everyone in your team, plays like a tail ender

lol a bit harsh, India have the best ODI batting line up in the world. They are just having a bad day.

 

[Bullet Drive]

If Gambhir can take India to 200, they will win.

 

[Vegitto1]

Paisa! Paisa! Paisa!

No-balls get investigated and a team scoring 300 in the first match and struggling to get to 100 with top batsmen in the line-up - its poor batting.

Well no grudges. You are only guilty if you get caught in this game. As long as India play it smart and avoid sting operations - they are minting money!

 

[style_guru]

lol a bit harsh, India have the best ODI batting line up in the world. They are just having a bad day which they seem to have very often these days.

Fixed

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sanath is the worst commentator I've heard in my life. A horrible voice, doesn't know how to speak. Why is he there.
