Did anyone notice the average for Dhoni? It is 50. That is one hell of an average for ODIs.

:))) :))) :))) :))) :)))
 
Sehvag is the best in indian line up, no one come close to him even Tendu. Could someone tell me what is his average in last 20 or 30 ODI compare to Tendu bhai? I bet Sehvag is way ahead of him. Hats off to you Mr. Sehvag:)
 
The secret behind Sehwag's and Dhoni's form: Hindi commentators saying that Dhoni and Sehwag drink 'asli' doodh (real milk) and hence play so well!

looks like they will cross 400, well that just may be out of reach for Sri Lanka

Why ? its a flat pitch. So everyone should be able to make 400.

Nope, 434 is the record. 400 is on though and Sri Lanka should spare themselves and forfeit.

Once again the batting average inflation trend continues with these travesty pitches...

The days of an even contest of bat vs ball is long gone...

India needs to stay up in ranking. You can't do much. They have the money they dictate the terms. Even the team from other continents are trying to accommodate indian batsman by making pitches to suit them.:) Jai ho BCCI. lol

India are going in the right direction to complete obliterate the ODI format as well...

We may well be left the T20 circus for the forseeable future if India continue with ruining the game of cricket..

sad but true
 
Now the records state that:

Tendulkar has now 95 ODI 50's
Sehwag has 12 ODI centuries
Dhoni has his 34th ODI 50

Remember if this trend continues these averages will continue to skyrocket and India on the face of it will have team that has players average 50 from position one to seven...

Tendulkar continues his own personal milestone trend and as another thread stated that most of his games are played at home (66%)....no wonder he has over 12000 runs
 
India has an outstanding batting lineup. Get used to it. Whine all you want, but get used to it.

No doubting the batting riches of India, at least 4 players could walk into any international side but, it is more the pitches than India's batting line-up that is a concern...

Pigeon hole? Really? For saying that India has an outstanding batting line up? So you are of the opinion that India's batsmen are ordinary?

Who is whining? Looks like your the poor fellow who cannot read?

The point was that the pitches are ruining the game and India are creating these pitches to help their players further increase their batting averages...

IT IS SIMPLE..

Shall I draw you a diagram to explain it?

I have no time to look for stats but, I do remember once seeing the stat that India is the leading team with most 300+ scores....ahead of South Africa I think..

This series in particular has been a real mind-number, you see the likes of Sehwag, Tendulkar and Dhoni toying with a decent Sri Lankan team and you wonder, if a decent pitch was available with maybe some bounce or even seam movement, the results would have been different...

How about 400+. Pathetic pitches end of.
 
Facts are the Sri Lankan bowling is not good enough to trouble the Indian batsmen without help from the conditions.

In the six match ODI series we played recently, India only crossed 300 twice.

as i said show me some other teams which score 300+ in india not india

a batting line up that consists of

sehwag
tendulkar
yuvi
dhoni
raina
gambhir
i pathan/y pathan

would get 300 or close to 300 if 2-3 of them fire

I am sure such batting paradises are not going to do justice to ODI's.But if you check when India played in Srilanka few months back ,things were not different,Scores of 363 and 332 were there with Yuvraj Gambhir and Sehwag scoring hundreds.

If you remember the ODI series played between India and Pakistan in Pakistan,all were highscoring ones. Nowadays I see that ODI's in South Africa and West Indies are also highscoring ones. India score 392 in NZ and 339 in WI.In short except matches held in England and Australia,all have been highscoring ones

That's the problem. Gone are the days when 250 used to be a very good score. Gone are the days when you couldn't just plant your foot down the pitch and swing through the line without any worry of swing or seam.

Bowlers have become machines and the game is terribly favoured for batsman (free hits, power plays, and what not). It's killing the game.

Now the Sri Lankan openers have raced to 80 off the first 10. Have they been troubled once? Have the Indian bowlers got any help from the surface? It shouldn't be this way. There needs to be some equality between bat and ball.

My point exactly, but, with the added ingredient of India especially using these pitches to ensure their averages never drop below 49.999999
 
Total crap pitch only providing cheap thrills.

Dilshan/Tharanga going afte rthe total and are looking good: 121/0 in 14 overs

Get us a real turner next game otherwise I will only check the scores and not watch it....

after long time sehwag played inning like that in one day. he's not that great of batsman in one day. specially u can't compare him with sachin in one day.
 
powerplay over,

130/0 (15 overs) with Dilshan on 87(56) matching Sehwag genius.
 
Come on Dilshan, you beauty.... your innings is better than Sehwags!!

Embaress the indian team by winning this match! :14:
 
When Sri Lanka have chased India's total of 414....will we see Samit Bal label this match a 'travesty'

ODI cricket is being killed right now....
 
Meanwhile why has bhajji become so hard to play in recent times????

Maybe we need :afridi to give a bit of a treatment?
 
Holy matrimony. What kind of cricket is being played here? Did they replace their bowlers with some sleepwalkers?
 
Hate to say this, but Bhaji looks like a decent bowler to me.

These Lankans are not batting well at all. Missing out on some boundaries here. :jm
 
Imagine the humilation if India lose this match?

What will Dhoni say? 'We batted well but, the bowlers disappointed, if we cannot defend 414 runs that we need to look at this' but, 'I do not mind at least I have kept my average up!'
 
This is boring you seen one six you seen them all prefer a low scoring match with more intensity and skill from both batsmen and bowlers
