[Titan of Technique]

Pitch looked as dry as a bone earlier today.Outfield is mostly barren.Expecting a 130-140 score here.

 

[Titan of Technique]

Lanka win toss and opt to bowl.India play the same team
This is a slow wicket so I expect Dhawan to fail today.

 

[battler]

India is going to hammer Sl today.

 

[Titan of Technique]

^^^ not too sure about that.Lanka has an army of off-spinners.We will again look for 180+ while 140 would be par and end up with 120.Lanka will chase it easily.

[battler]

This is not a ground I would like to dive on lol

 

[Titan of Technique]

Rohit's last 3 innings in India : 1, 0, 0

Double century time

Another Dhawan on fire

Have disabled them bro to make forum performance more faster. Will switch on after the games.

 

[Ankit007]

Virat gone but Rohit is ON

 

[street cricketer]

Lol looks like Senanayke's favourite current cricketer is Jadeja too.

Sir has a lot of fans all over the world

 

[#GreenRoars]

Aftermath of last match, India removed the grass from whole ground

Okay

 

[Ankit007]

Aftermath of last match, India removed the grass from whole ground

Poor outfield prepared by Ranchi CA

 

[Ankit007]

Indian batters taking there revenge of last game from Rajitha

 

[carrom_ball]

It was bound to happen, balance restored, after the fluke win in the last match lankans will get the usual phainty in this one, no interest in watching this match

 

[street cricketer]

Aftermath of last match, India removed the grass from whole ground

Last match bowlers had it easy

Turn for batsmen to have it easy

 

[Ankit007]

Dhawan 37 off 16

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Shocking outfield.

Looks so ugly and dangerous.

Anyways, isn't this pitch supposed to be a landmine of a turner?

Score doesn't seem to suggest so.

 

[street cricketer]

Poor outfield prepared by Ranchi CA

They were informed of the match only 10 days before. It's a weared out ground after the end of all the domestic matches this season.

Flat.

Easily 180+ wicket.

 

[Ankit007]

A ground should be prepared for International matches whole year. Thats just an excuse. Its so shameful for Indian cricket in front of the world

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dhawan seems to have activated his warrior mode.

He dominates but not like this.

200+ SR

 

[Lords]

Laxman said that Bihar is officially going through drought hence load shedding of water.

Fine, but did they really had to have a match there? I mean go to delhi or punjab or indore

 

[Ankit007]

Maiden fifty for Dhawan

 

[Ankit007]

Wicket #1 Dhawan :

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is exactly how outfield used to look like in india and pakistan in 90's.

Yes lol..Getting nostalgic

 

[battler]

Rohit needs to accelerate now!

 

[Ankit007]

Spin is there. Ash will kill SL batsman today

 

[Lurker_Ind]

This is exactly how outfield used to look like in india and pakistan in 90's.

Total incompetence on the part of BCCI.

Richest board run by clowns.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

As usual Rahane not looking that good.

We have 3 dodgy characters in our XI - Rahane, Yuvi and Dhoni.

Based on current form/ability.

 

[anuk]

what the hell is this outfield? this is worse than my secondary school ground. what a disgrace.

He will be gone once Kohli is back

 

[Sandeep]

Rahane

 

[anuk]

what a ramshackle ground. why cant indians improve the standards at least to first class level?

 

[Ankit007]

Poor bowling there and

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Rahane killing the momentum of this innings.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Welcome to incompetent India. Some one should be fired for this. But as it goes in India, mediocrity is accepted at all levels.

 

[Ankit007]

Rahane killing the momentum of this innings.

Seems to have listened to you and now hitting boundaries

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Why is BCCI bent on making Rahane a T20 player? He is not built to score at good pace. He is a typical Test and ODI player. T20 belongs to big hitters.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Misfield and now Rahane's SR now looks good.

lol

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Seems to have listened to you and now hitting boundaries

I still believe he is not a T20 player. A few boundaries here and there will not change my opinion.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Rohit seems to be playing a ODI inning.

Strike rate of 122 is not good enough when you consume almost 6 overs.

 

[Ankit007]

I still believe he is not a T20 player. A few boundaries here and there will not change my opinion.

Even I know he is not. Your opinion is right

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Stunning catch.

Yuvi vs Chameera now

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Thank God its Raina.

 

[Sidilicious]

Rahane tu rehne de

 

[Ankit007]

Suddenly this SL team is also looking like WC favorites. With Malinga and Chameera opening the bowling, they look great.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Chameera what a quality over.

Made everyone look like a rookie.

Out and out fast bowlers when they get it right are such a threat.

It would be interesting if he can maintain this form.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rahane should stay away from T20's atleast. Let's see how pandu plays.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rahane tu rehne de

Lagta hai rahane se nahi hoga

 

[anuk]

i know rajitha went for a few runs but i quite like the look of him.

 

[Ankit007]

Hardik Pandya....

 

[Sidilicious]

Lagta hai rahane se nahi hoga

If Yuvi is surely part of the 11, why not play him at 3 instead of Rahane

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This is what explosive batsmen can do.

And we were wasting time with Rahane.

 

[Sidilicious]

how big is the ground?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Two back to back sixes by pandu

 

[Ankit007]

Seems like our big hitter the Hitler is here... Hardik Pandya

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Lanka will surprise a few teams in T20 WC. They have the bowling to cause trouble on the subcontinent wickets.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Raina Raina Raina

They are not underdogs

 

[Sidilicious]

Raina Raina Raina

Its unfortunate for him (not for India) that Kohli is in such great form, otherwise he would have had the no.3 spot in the India colours.

Indeed.

 

[Titan of Technique]

No wonder we can't bat in swinging/seaming/turning/bouncing/anything other than flat wickets.Just jump around like a monkey here and there and swing the bat away from the body like a maniac.Raina is such a disgrace

 

[JaDed]

 

[Ankit007]

Dhoni should be in now not Yuvi

 

[Sandeep]

Pandya has done well! Impressed..
