India v S Lanka | 3rd Test | Mumbai | 2-6 Dec 09

[siimo]

You have done so by bullying ICC therefore controlling umpires and not having referral system for this series.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, sir.

 

[insaaniyat]

Whatever helps you sleep at night, sir.

but it's true isn't it? would Dravid have survived if the referral system was in place? lol

 

[RexRex]

Ok , now Tendulkar's turn to go for 300.

 

[Howzat]

I wouldn't call him choked .Choker is playing right now. guess who

Don't know about a choker, but I know about a few losers.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

How much Viru scored?

 

[Asok Chaktra]

Just saw the score, Holy moly.

Can we hire him for a few tests when India isn't playing?

Gr8 compliment he can get. If you add one or two shewags to Pak's batting line up, wow..

 

[Cheguvera]

Sachin's prennial weakness/susceptibility against the incoming ball comes through for the lankans....

 

[adit_sh]

Match has become boring now !!!

 

[Cheguvera]

Prasanna has definitely taken the title away from our own Khatmal as the worst wkt keeper in the world cricket, nay first class cricket...just missed a regulation stumping of Yubraj...

 

[AZ]

How much Viru scored?

Do Saw Choranwey

 

[moumotta]

Sehwag being out hurts me too. One batsman from India, beside Dravid I want to shine

Thank you Sunshine.

 

[OZGOD]

Oh no, the YUVI is out! 479 short of his quintuple century!

127.2
Herath to Yuvraj Singh, OUT
Yuvraj Singh c Mathews b Herath 23 (42b 2x4 0x6) SR: 54.76

 

[OZGOD]

Harbhadulkar out for 1!

128.2
Muralitharan to Harbhajan Singh, OUT
Harbhajan Singh b Muralitharan 1 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

India 7/615 now

 

[Romali_rotti]

Seriously what the hell is Dhoni doing ? He is now toiling with the bowlers lol...

 

[Da Best]

I'm not following this match but India only have a lead of 256 at the moment? With 2 days to go? On this pitch? Can SL win it?

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Seriously what the hell is Dhoni doing ? He is now toiling with the bowlers lol...

It is the indian art of inflating averages syndrome, have you not heard of it?

 

[Da Best]

It is the indian art of inflating averages syndrome, have you not heard of it?

Can't stop laughing! ) ) ) Dhoni goes big SIX! Second ball of the over. 667/8 India.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Lead of almost 300, two entire days of cricket remaining...

Yet, Dhoni has made a battling 50 of 110 deliveries..

Why not give his bowlers the chance to bowl at the tired Sri Lankan before the lead got to 250...

 

[Lethal]

Strange tactics from Dhoni.

4 more to him.

 

[Lethal]

Dhoni picking upping the run rate now.

76no

Its still a very flat pitch. he only wants to bat once

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Its still a very flat pitch. he only wants to bat once

If India draw this game, the blame will fall squarely on Dhoni, he put himself before the team....

 

[tdigi]

I just woke up and saw the scores.
Sehwag out at 293...
NZ all out at 99...lol

 

[Zahid87]

If India draw this game, the blame will fall squarely on Dhoni, he put himself before the team....

300+ lead, 2 days to bowl the Sri Lankans out. If they can't do it in 2 whole days, then its only the bowlers to blame.

 

[RexRex]

3 overs to go today.

 

[Random Aussie]

All the fizz went out of this game the moment Sehwag got out. India handing out a nice beating to the Sri Lankans and should go on to win the series.

How is my man the YUVI going? He would have cashed in eh?

 

[RexRex]

Yuvraj decided to step back for Dhoni.

 

[tdigi]

Yuvraj decided to step back for Dhoni.

 

[Slickman]

Most exciting test series ever..well over 500000000 runs in just 3 tests............zzzzzzzz who would want to be a bolwer.

 

[USaqaf]

How can SL win this now?

 

[USaqaf]

Oh no, the YUVI is out! 479 short of his quintuple century!

Bro , they do teach math in Australia don't they? Or did that pass you by.

he must be smoking some stuff they grow in their backyard

 

[pun500]

as i said before

this pitch will demolish by 4th day evening ... morning their will be moisture due to winter and hence might seam and spin a little more than today evening

 

[moumotta]

Bro , they do teach math in Australia don't they? Or did that pass you by.

Yes but they give half mark for being nearly correct.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

1 down, 9 to go ............ #1 rating, here we come !!!!!!!!!

 

[tdigi]

India is going to play only 3 more tests in the next 10 months. The test series against SA has been scrapped due to IPL. Anyone pissed about this?

[tdigi]

What ? Link please.

No link to confirm. Got this from another forum...so just spreading rumors.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Thank goodness. For a moment I was no annoyed reading that .......

 

[Random Aussie]

Would be the most pathetic effort ever to scrap that series, that series is for the title of best Test team in the world, home and away, between the top nation and the 2nd best.

Just baseless silly rumor, nothing else.

 

[siddharth]

Just baseless silly rumor, nothing else.

Better be like that else I will be in a mental asylum issed:

 

[Ryankhan]

hate this umpring in this match. few players were clearly out but the stupid umpire didnt gave it a out. i wish refral system was here aswell. anyone remembers india tour to srikanka last year where there was refral system and india were out for 100- 150 few times becoz umpire decisions were over ruled by refral system. hope sri draws this cuz winning is impossible

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Better be like that else I will be in a mental asylum issed:

Treu. I'm expecting that series like a mad man, just like I was expecting India's tour to Pakistan earlier this year.

 

[siddharth]

Wow another shocking umpiring error,Dilshan again.Thats very bad.

 

[tdigi]

That's why we need reviews. I still don't understand why the Indian players don't want it. Shame really.

 

[Random Aussie]

Wow another shocking umpiring error,Dilshan again.Thats very bad.

What a surprise.

 

[OZGOD]

Dilshan's been thiefed out!

 

[tdigi]

Dilshan's been thiefed out!

 

[RexRex]

Finally , we have our own Bucknor

 

[OZGOD]

Cheating Indians thiefed out Dilshan! Why would they appeal if they knew it wasn't out!

 

[RexRex]

we'll take it any way it comes

 

[RexRex]

Kaching !
Two wickets down in no time.SL in dire straits here.

144/4 with 33 overs to go.

 

[RexRex]

Another one !

Angelo is out.Just 5 more now.

 

[pun500]

no 1 here we come

 

[Savak]

I feel really sorry for the Sri Lankans but they like Pakistan have a seriously talentless batting department. Not a single match winner in the batting line up and by that i mean a batsman whom the opposition fears.

 

[pun500]

they have decent bats ...not as bad as pak

sanga .. world class
mahela ... above avg
sameeraweera ... decent
dilshan ... decent

thats a pretty good line up

 

[RexRex]

I don't think that lineup can make an impact outside the subcontinent.
But you never know.They rarely get to play outside.

no they are ok not world beater but ok in windies nz england

 

[OZGOD]

Great ton by Sangakkara. Defy them Sanga!! SL 6/268, still 65 runs behind. Sanga will need to score a triple today!

 

[Romali_rotti]

Not long to go now, headed towards that NO.1 test ranking SOON ...

 

[adit_sh]

umpiring has been pretty avg in this series. specailly with the lbw decesions

 

[MIG]

Not long to go now, headed towards that NO.1 test ranking SOON ...

Its really lonely up there - why not hang around at 5/6/7/8/9/10 with us lot?

 

[adit_sh]

excellant innings by sanga. if he saves the match or not but it wil go down as his best innings .....under pressure, pitch taking turn , seamers producing good deliveries.....great knock........

 

[Romali_rotti]

Its really lonely up there - why not hang around at 5/6/7/8/9/10 with us lot?

I got a better idea why dont you guys move up and join us there ..

Nah much more fun in the back rows...front rows are for geeks.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India should win this series 2-0 tomorrow.

Might be the last time the likes of Dravid, VVS or even sachin play a test in front of their home fans.

[deep82]

On a side note Zaheer, Sree & Ishant would be quite handful in South Africa...so can't wait for that tour to start...

 

[Ayyub]

they have decent bats ...not as bad as pak

sanga .. world class
mahela ... above avg
sameeraweera ... decent
dilshan ... decent

Sameeraweera --world class
Mahela --awesome to watch
dilshan --decent

sanga ---currently out of form

 

[Ayyub]

India should go with their best bowling line up in South Africa my list :-

1.Zaheer
2.Sreesanth
3.Ishant
4.Balaji
5.Sudeep Tyagi

 

[Romali_rotti]

wrong in test

Sameeraweera --FTB nothing more, probably the greatest FTB of all time.
Mahela --awesome to watch
dilshan --decent

sanga ---currently out of form (but still world class, the most elegant of the Sri Lankans and the 2nd most elegant bat after SRT

Edited...

 

[Ayyub]

FTB nothing more, probably the greatest FTB of all time can u tell me its meaning if u dont mind ?

Scored heavily on the sub continent you name it 200's, 275's 100 not out etc on wickets which has no less bounce than below knee level. Take him outside the subcontinent and he wont score a run to save his life.

 

[AZ]

FTB stands for Flat Track Bully, Ayyub

 

[Ayyub]

^ but Srilanka havent toured outside the subcontinent ...last time when srilanka toured south africa or australia or england ?
