Sri Lanka [175/5] beat India [174/5] by 5 wickets in first match of Nidahas Twenty20 tri-series

[Smbhayi]

He must have consistently failed in IPL (guess)

he has as much success as Dinda, but having test specialist tag is his downfall.

 

[CricCrazyNick]

Hasan Ali has proven before that he is a super bowler.

Unadkat is a nobody.

Its funny if we just look at the stats though.

Ha ths reminds me Pandya vs Faheem Ashraf thread

 

[Oligochaetes]

Pandey played a pathetic knock. 100 S/R is not acceptable for someone who played 36 balls. He struggled just like he did in SA and the many chances he got before that.

I feel Pandey is a mental midget. He freezes at international level. He is talented. But cannot play at the same level against the same bowlers like he does in IPL.

You are right. So india still depends on top 3 batsmen to win games. who are the other batters in the squad for the management to tryout? Can Shankar be tried in middle order?

 

[IndianFan2018]

No chair for him maybe...

Rohit doesn't want to risk his opening slot by giving KL Rahul any kind of chance to perform

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Ok so this series started? SL Bdesh India C team all are of equal strength so should be a good series.
No Kohli , Dhoni, bumrah, bhuvi, kuli or shami, won't be watching the series, may the better team win.

Tbf apart from Kohli and Dhoni all the other players are average bowlers

The new Indian bowlers wont do much worse.

Bhumrah, Bhuvi, Kuldeep and Shami average players..ask SA batsman !

.Slow calp for that statement

 

[subbu]

this is very poor bowling attack

Unadkat -very poor bowler on flat wickets.. his slower balls, cutters will work only on low and slower wickets
Thakur - just avg
sundar - allrounder
Vshanker - batsmen part time medium pace bowler..actually did well today
other bowler in the squad Siraj ..he is just similar to Thakur

i feel Khaleel, Thampi are better bowlers ..

 

[Dingolfy]

the main problem with Karthik is he's 30+.

So? This is cricket not football or Tennis where over 30 is liability.Mitchell Johnson was over 30 when he had that dream run against England.

Thampi conceded way more runs than Unadkat in last IPL.Khaleel is untested yet.Just because you are fast, doesnt mean you are a better bowler in T20.

 

[Proactive_]

For a second I thought this was 1996 with Jayasuriya mercilessly bashing some Indian trundlers. These IPL superstars are just garbage lol including that 11 crore guy.

Unadkat has done well on only slower wickets even in ipl ( i think just has couple of good spells .thats it)

 

[Ab Fan]

bhai
teams have already scored more than 200 many times in T20 international

Are I meant first individual score of 200 in a T20.

Yes an ATG SA team that had Kallis,De Villiers,Plessis,De Kock,Steyn all playing together

Oh no that was against Pakistan in 2013..sorry.

Your bowlers can cherish winning against SA C team

When SA C team loses then it is biggest achievement in the history of mankind, but when Indian C team loses we should disregard the result

There is a difference between eking out a win thanks to epic choking of Amla and epic phainty at the hands of opposition. 3 match series is a way too less of a sample to gloat.

India didn't have Kohli just to remind you. Kohli is half the team

India won 5-1 in ODI bro, this is T20 match..

Even with Kohli in the team no guarantee of win in this unpredictable format.

Anyone can beat any time with one freak innings like Kusal Perera's in this match; still India can win this series with newbies !

Like I said earlier, India is using this series for newcomers, for practice.


All our well-wishers will get lot of entertainment by seeing Ind lose few matches, enjoy and sleep well seeing this rare events.

Also don't forget to tune in own ESL matches 2

What is this bootleg Asia Cup?

I have been enjoying since June 18.... seeing you guys come up with one excuse after another.

 

[giri26]

Good win for SL but India should not worry too much. This series is a good chance for young players to get some international exposure. In few months time no one will remember this tri-series.

I didn't realise series started yesterday, tuned in late after 13 overs

All please stay on topic and don't divert the thread with irrelevant discussions.

On topic, India can still win this series and break many hearts here in PP.

Bhai, we missed you during India tour of SA, especially in ODIs and T20s

No one claimed it was biggest achievement, don't make up unnecessary stories

To suit their narrative few will make stories better than our daily soap serials

Good to see some folks who were hibernating while Pakistan lost 5-0 and India won 5-1. Suddenly T20's are now a very important format.

 

[IndianFan2018]

Manjrekar trolled Russel Arnold in commentary yesterday.

Arnold was getting nervous at final stages of the match, Manjrekar said 'Russel don't invest so much emotionally ..anything can happen in cricket' (not exact words, something like that)
