Who are these players playing for SL? Never heard of them before. Are they in the WC squad?

 

[IcedCoffee]

Drop?

Poor ball Nehra

Bumrah making the batsman look gumrah

 

[IcedCoffee]

Bumrah bowling really well.

Bumrah on FIAHHHHHHHH :AAG

Waiting for Dhonut to blame the pitch and Shastri to fight with the curator soon.

This is just what the doctor did not order

How do rank turners give the side batting first an advantage? The ones in the recent SA series spun throughout the test. Worsening each day. Nothing in it for the batsmen nor seamers.

Least with green tracks, once you play out the new ball it gets easier and you can pile on the runs as Root did in England against Aus. There's also some turn towards the end. With flat tracks (ie UAE), the pitch is horrid for seamers, but at least it provides assistance for spinners and also batsmen.

They don't have to bat in the 4th innings, that is a great advantage on a rank turner.

As I said, the side batting first can be easily cleaned up within 200 and the opposition can always make use of the pitch once the grass flattens out. Even if they post a score of 350, that is the match decided then and there.

Question isn't about how it pans out, question is about how much of an advantage it confers to either of the sides.

Gunathilaka is clueless 0(8) And he hits a

Guna bhai is like Shehzad, 11 balls played and 1 scoring shot

Btw the UAE tracks aren't flat, they are slow spinning. The Abu Dhabi one was ultra flat though.

Flat tracks are what you see in Australia nowadays.

 

[JaDed]

Guna frustrated ,four coming up

 

[Syed1]

Next level tuk tuk bat this Guna guy

 

[JaDed]

Sharma having a terrific match today

 

[Syed1]

First time second over of both innings maiden

 

[JaDed]

[MENTION=134981]Bhaag Viru Bhaag[/MENTION] i hope you are watching

Just started watching. Absolutely C grade performance by our IPL rockstars. Imagine if ashwin hasn't scored those 31 runs. Hope bowlers and fielders atleast give a fight here. Stadium is nice though.

 

[JaDed]

Lucky inside edge

 

[street cricketer]

SL batsmen are ridiculous. We have only 2 pacers and rest are spinners. Why take risks against them when you can score easily from the rest.

Pandya is also there..

 

[Abdul]

Screw the low scoring PSL cricket. T20 cricket is all about exciting high scoring thrillers, just like the one India's dishing out tonight.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya is also there..

Wide-ya is playing?

 

[JaDed]

smacked,Majrekar just called Hardik Pandya Hardik Patel lol

 

[street cricketer]

Pandya is also there..

Not fast enough.

 

[carrom_ball]

Run rate creeping up, slowly but surely

 

[Ankit007]

Not fast enough.

135+ he bowls

 

[street cricketer]

135+ he bowls

He is more of a skiddy bowler. You need hit the deck bowlers at 140ks to extract dangerous bounce on this wicket.

 

[JaDed]

Dhoni dropped one?
Edit: nope. and now

 

[street cricketer]

If Pandya can reproduce his batting too in the international stage, he can be a handy cricketer for India.

 

[JaDed]

So lucky ,Lankans' night this one is.

 

[JaDed]

Good shot

Today, we have Hardik, Dickwella, de Kock, and Willey; all playing international cricket, all at the same time. What a time to be alive.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

India got owned today.

Net T20 please. Hopefully batting does not flop like today.

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan misses it as expected.

 

[JaDed]

Maybe Ash bowled too late by Dhoni?

 

[carrom_ball]

Why can't chandimal get out on green tracks? What a green track bully

 

[taqi]

Was missing leg in my opinion

Manjrekar saying team selection should be questioned [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]

 

[JaDed]

Jadeja over did us in if we are to forget the batsmen

 

[Jabo]

Not sure how you can play rahane in a t20 game

It's like playing asad shafiq

 

[JaDed]

Manjrekar saying team selection should be questioned [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]

yeah we should call him out of retirement the greatest player of swing since Sunny Gavaskar himself,annoying dude.

 

[JaDed]

Bad Ashwin!!! Come on!!!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

lol got screwed

Sorry [MENTION=139847]Ankit007[/MENTION]

He is like why is India playing only 2 seamers?
As if dhoni dreamt of playing on such a green pitch lol

 

[battler]

Why give Raina a second over? Now that's a crap decision

 

[JaDed]

Why not Yuvi but Raina?Doesn't make sense not like Dhoni ever does.

 

[Ankit007]

lol got screwed

Sorry [MENTION=139847]Ankit007[/MENTION]

Its OK.. I knew the outcome. But we went down after a fight

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dhoni's captaincy made no sense.

Bumrah bowled well and got no wickets.

Nehra bowled bad and got wickets.

Comedy night today.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

101 was a nothing score.

No pressure on Lankan batsmen. They could take their own sweet time knowing that the total to chase is a joke.

 

[Adijazz1706]

SL and SA both on 84

 

[JaDed]

Hopefully Dhoni brings in the seamers now.

India getting all the wrong decisions going their way

Agreed

Is C your lowest grade? These guys should be flunking their exams.

Yaaay

And now Dhoni will be called a genius. )

 

[JaDed]

Lol@ Pandya classic Dhoni

 

[Adijazz1706]

The comeback is possible still. Don't lose hope! Actually

 

[JaDed]

why Pandya why why!!!

 

[JaDed]

Next in Ranchi good to know.

 

[JaDed]

Brings in Ashwin

 

[Sandeep]

Should've ideally finished Ashwin, Bumrah by now.. Alas

 

[JaDed]

Raina catches a blinder.

 

[Sandeep]

Looked a normal catch in replay..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We can say we fought well.

Blinder by Raina ji.

 

[JaDed]

Wow so many mistakes in the commentary today, Hayden 95-1 :s

 

[Sandeep]

Ashwin to lefties always a treat, no matter which format

 

[Syed1]

TBH this Lanka side is kafi lulloo

 

[Syed1]

India can still beat these lulloos here.. you never know
