Sharma has bowled well this game overall.

And I think that mental block is mainly because India Vs Sri Lanka is more than just a cricket match for Lankans but doesnt mean much for us somehow. I always see emotions very charged in their end. Maybe this is why.

LOL says who ?
 
Sri lankan fans and Indian haters calm down, this is a SLC master plan to confuse Indian selectors into picking the wrong men for 2015 WC. :afaq

Yeah but they should pick the right side at least for SL no? This lot will get demolished in AUS irrespective of what happens to India.

Dropped catches, flat bowling, batsmen thrashing at balls and barely connecting: Sri Lanka's cobwebs stymied them on Sunday, but the time to bust open the broom cupboard and clean their cricket up is looming. Fans have largely been content to grant the team a little grace for the first loss, given the side's lack of preparation, but they will soon expect significant improvement, even if a series victory is some distance off. India are, after all, now Sri Lanka's most rivalrous opposition, even if that sentiment is not reciprocated from across the Palk Strait.

How does India dominate Sri Lanka so easily? Sri Lanka are a great side and can defeat the best of the teams any day..
 
Looks to me Sri Lanka are not even interested in this series and why blame them if this series was organised out of nowhere. Their bowling attack in this series though is a dream for the opposition.

They are not. Their best batsman Sanga is a limited ODI bat, and bowling attack too ain't that great.

Sl for long time rode on Vaas, Malinga, Murali, Mendis. Take them away, all the other bowlers have all been this way. Indian pitch + Mediocre bowling = Briyani Fest
 
T.Perera is useless, should be replaced with Chaturgana de Silva or another batsmen.

nope bro they are good and they perform better at non-flat tracks and are more consistent than any other SC team just India somehow manages to beat them because of the confidence.

They have been dominated by India for a while now almost a decade.Its just looks as if they ve given up.
 
How does that make all SL fans take match vs India take more serous than the indians ?

No it means that lankan fans consider India as a big rival whereas for India it is Pak>Aus>Eng>SA>Lanka.

So if we lose a match against you guys we dont think much about it but it hurts when we lose against say Aussies.

Similarly it must hurt you guys more to lose to us if you rate our rivalry higher.

Does losing to India hurt more than losing to Pakistan to you guys?

Yes but the in the sense of what you are talking about nope. Losing in general is annoying, but when you face one team million times and you lose lot of matches vs that team it does get annoying. All the SL fans know that SL were under prepared, some players didn't practice for about 6 weeks while some of the younger guys were playing in domestic and etc. Today was more of a annoying than "hurt". It is not a major tournament and no one really cares about this series. But still no one likes to see their bowlers bowl horribly and get pounded.

Ok mate don't get agitated. It was my hypothesis anyway, not a statement of fact. Many hypothesis turn out to be wrong. Maybe I was wrong. Cheer up :D
