Sri Lanka v India | 3rd Test | Colombo | 3-7 August 2010

[Romali_rotti]

I dont think India will get the last 2 wickets, only hope is a declaration.........

 

[IAJ]

Lets hope Mendis can fight it out and help Sam. get to his hundred.

 

[Khabri420]

Current partnership 110 runs, 35.2 overs, RR: 3.11 (Samaraweera 54, Mendis 53)

Maybe not then

 

[shan]

This reminds me of what the Aussie tail did to us at Lord's

In that game they already had lead over 300, here India was supposed to win by tea. Dhoni remind me of Moyo issed:

Thanks, I was going to reply him with this but didn't bother

 

[shan]

SL team always thinks negative, so expect dec tomorrow at launch.

 

[Sir john]

india not in a good position now.

 

[IAJ]

In that game they already had lead over 300, here India was supposed to win by tea. Dhoni remind me of Moyo issed:

Well I don't care about how much the lead was, but it was really frustrating.

Can't these jokers bowl even yorkers to mendis?

 

[Khabri420]

Dhoni will probably go for the new ball after this over I would think

 

[Sir john]

poor fielding placing by dhoni,

 

[Saurav]

they'll declare once Mendis gets his maiden tonissed:

 

[Momo]

Mithun Chakraborthy with a new cherry in hand.

 

[Sir john]

Mithun Chakraborthy with a new cherry in hand.

[Romali_rotti]

Home Track Bully gone........ TOP EFFORT THOUGH, WELL PLAYED!!!!!!!!

 

[Khabri420]

[jattafridi]

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

Mendis retains the strike as well

 

[Romali_rotti]

Damn now wELEGEDRA TO MAKE A 50...

 

[Romali_rotti]

Ohhh NOW I really know the value of Zaheer, never really given him the credit he deserved... Get well, need you fit for the aussies Boy...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Mendis seriously taking game away from India here!

266/9

 

[Sir john]

266/9 mendis now need to give away his wicket.

 

[Sir john]

end of mendis

 

[jattafridi]

SRI LANKA 267 All out

 

[Sir john]

now lets hope shewag survive for tommarow

 

[Saurav]

out finally

257 needed

 

[akbarc1]

Mendis out

 

[Amjid Javed]

India need 257 to win and level series.

Should be a good run chase.

Sehwag will come out all guns blazing as usual!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

I expect india to take this!

 

[jattafridi]

Sehwag gone

Randiv to Sehwag, OUT, The big wicket is down. Sehwag out for a duck. The crowd roar. And roar. What a game-breaking moment this. It was from round the stumps, it landed around off and it didn't turn in. Sehwag thought it would and went forward to defend. It took the edge and went to Mahela who pouches it safely. And he spreads his arms in joy!

 

[jattafridi]

 

[Khabri420]

Randiv you beauty!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Sehwag gone cheaply!!

 

[jattafridi]

dravid

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 50/3

Randiv has all 3!

India in trouble!

 

[Romali_rotti]

OH that was real questionable , that catch was hard to see if it was taken clean. If Kamran stood his ground and got away with a decision while Hussey took the catch 2 tests ago well then Vijay def shouldnt have been out.. Not surprised it was a 'DHARMASENA' who was the 3rd umpire....

 

[Saurav]

^that looked out buddy.Mahela had his hands underneath the ball

 

[Saurav]

at Stumps 50/3

match gone,from a ner wiining position at Lunch,India r about to lose now

 

[Romali_rotti]

^that looked out buddy.Mahela had his hands underneath the ball

Well Kamran looked out then when Hussey took the catch ..



I wouldnt trust a Dharmasena, Gamini De Silva, Ashoka Desilva or any of these honest Sri Lankan boys as far as I could throw them......

 

[Romali_rotti]

^that looked out buddy.Mahela had his hands underneath the ball

You must have superman eyes when Jayasuriya, Rohan Gavaskar and just about all the other commentators saying camera replays doesnt look clear...

 

[shan]

at Stumps 50/3

match gone,from a ner wiining position at Lunch,India r about to lose now

I dont think the match have gone anywhere. Only 200 to get, one good partnership and game is over. On the other hand Pakistan will surly lose by innings in 2nd test.

 

[shan]

If it doesnt look clear then it should have been not out. But we all know quality of SL umpires, they are just pathetic and desperate to not lose a series.

 

[Nics]

You must have superman eyes when Jayasuriya, Rohan Gavaskar and just about all the other commentators saying camera replays doesnt look clear...

Agree with you. It wasn't clear at all. Video angles were not good enough to conclude anything. Benefit of the doubt should have been given to the batsman. But oh well, Dharmasena was the thrid umpire. what else can you expect from him.

 

[Saurav]

it was blurry,but u could make out that no part of the ball was touching the ground

 

[Romali_rotti]

Agree with you. It wasn't clear at all. Video angles were not good enough to conclude anything. Benefit of the doubt should have been given to the batsman. But oh well, Dharmasena was the thrid umpire. what else can you expect from him.

As soon as I heard the commentator say;

Taufel now referring with the 3rd umpire, lets see what Dharmasena thinks........








Doesnt take an Einstien to know what would happen next ....







P.S.. I take back all I said about the Aussie umpires, Sri Lankan umpires takes the cake for me for giving it their all to helping their team win....

 

[Romali_rotti]

it was blurry,but u could make out that no part of the ball was touching the ground

As I said on my previous post; SUPERMAN EYES...

 

[Sir john]

india will lose this match

 

[Momo]

Now then. The final day's play starts now.

 

[Sir john]

Malinga this morning: "It's turning big. Not much pace and bounce but i will try and do something to get some early wickets. I think spinners will have more effect on this. I will start with one spinner at the start of the day i think. "

 

[Sir john]

Vikas: "Will Sachin answer his critics too with a match-winning 4th inning knock under tough conditions, a la Chennai? Will Laxman do a Kolkata? Will Raina continue his dream start in Test Cricket? No. India will lose by a hundred or more."

 

[Sir john]

Vivek Bhandari: "This Test match has seen it all, from fighting centuries to teasing tailenders, from toe-crushers n finger crunchers to vicious spinners, from simple giveaway catches to inconclusive ones...and what not...n now we've rain...woof...I hope it would get a result at least, and I'm a patriotic Indian...so no guesses..." Ah! The rain has stopped btw.

 

[Sir john]

Now then. The final day's play starts now.

all depend on laxman and sachin i guess.

 

[Sir john]

Ajantha Mendis said late last evening: "There is a tendency for wickets to fall in the morning session and we should be able to make use of that opportunity."

mendis a hero

 

[Momo]

Tendulkar to Ishant: Choka naheen maar.

 

[insaftak]

[insaftak]

sharma gone.

this should be a good game. I can't believe i'm watching this.Batting collapse after batting collapse by pakistanis are forcing me to watch other teams instead.

 

[Khabri420]

Welegedera is such a crap bowler. Bring on the slingaaa!

 

[Awesome_Username]

sharma gone.

this should be a good game. I can't believe i'm watching this.Batting collapse after batting collapse by pakistanis are forcing me to watch other teams instead.

Lol. I'm watching this last day for the same reason.

 

[insaftak]

damn this lankan music is so annoying.

 

[Awesome_Username]

This guy Randiv looks good.

damn this lankan music is so annoying.

It's better than the sound of the English team celebrating after every 3 seconds for taking a Pakistani wicket

 

[wanted_desi]

Pitch is going crazy, don't think INdia will win this one. issed:

 

[T20_Cricket]

Dropped By Dilshan:akmal

 

[Strike!]

That was a sitter.

 

[Momo]

Tends Dropped

 

[wanted_desi]

That was just too quick, can't blame dilshan here

 

[jattafridi]

Randiv to Tendulkar, no run, Dropped by Dilshan at short-leg: Oh dear. It was around the leg and middle- that's the line they have been bowling at Tendulkar all along here- and he pushes at it. It went of the bat and pad to right of short-leg where Dilshan lunges but fails to hold on. It was catch able. It should have been taken but he has fluffed it.

 

[Strike!]

Match slipping away from sri lanka.

 

[vaibhav_delhi]

Comment on cricinfo
Randika: "Sanga's forcing Randiv to be one dimensional, big spinning offbreak. Takes the straighter and the wrong one out by not employing close-in fielders on the offside."
funny name, Randika

 

[insaftak]

butt-esque field setting by sanga

 

[vaibhav_delhi]

31.6
Randiv to Tendulkar, FOUR, floated around the leg stump line and Tendulkar thumps that vertical-sweep shot of his. Four!

[Sir john]
