On another forum, a poster had claimed that
1. Tends will make less than 10
2. Ishant will outscore him

Now he has posted that while he regrets giving Tendu <10 where he should have given him <15, he insists that Ishant will outscore him anyway.
:)))
 
And its all going downhill for India at Tea ...

MoMo which is the other forum that you are talking about.
 
Waqar blasted Dravid for not walking after such a BIG nick. Arun was trying to put it mildly but Wiki didnt chew any words. Good to hear somebody not being equivocal/ambiguous.

Go Wiki :younis

India in shambles.

Don't think they will last out the day.

Will be an effective 3 day innings victory for Lanka !

I pray a lot like this for our Kamran Akmal.Can understand your feelings. :akmal
 
The big question now is that can India avoid the follow on in their 2nd innings ? Only 75 runs to go. :D

On another forum, before the matches started, there was an interesting post from a diljala. His prediction for the series results:

India : Srilanka
0 minus the number of games Karthik plays : 0 plus the number of games Karthik plays

Or was it Patil?

I feel for the indian batsman.What can you do with Murali and Mendis.They dont even get tiered after bowling so many overs.

Review system works one more time ... Tendu's edge spotted on replay and he's out.

So Tendy didn't walk after edging it? Hmm.

How can you drop captain of the team.
Btw we are facing the same issue with malik.

Well to be honest I have thought it was high time he retired for a while now. I think he should have stepped down after the Australia tour.
 
Dhoni (oops forgot he decided this Test wasn't important enough for him to play in) make that Karthik out.
 
It's hilarious how the Indians on this forum pull a vanishing act when they're getting thrashed!
 
Ok on another note, why the hell does Murali look very avg outside Sri Lanka ? I am sure someone of his calibur is capable of doing well in all conditions..

To his credit, Romali is here though.

Mind you words, one Indian will always be here unless this board shuts down :)

Hit the back of his bat as he swept the ball - he must have known it hit his bat. Dravids almost came off the middle of the bat and then onto his pad - he didnt walk either, but I guess there is always the chance that the opposition may not ask for a review.

He has destroyed England in England on more than one occasion if memory serves me right. I tend to agree with you that in Srilanka he is simply unplayable.

What's his record in India?

Yeah, something which i also find very weird...

Home Avg: 19
Away Avg: 26

Home Avg v IND: 22
Away Avg v IND: 39
 
i guess sl are revenging that 2-0 series and 6-1 odi thrash back in india in 05 i believe :(

Credit where its due RR. A lot in your position today would have been sulking in a corner, but not you :19:

Certain bowlers like different conditions to be successful.
Look at Bhaji,Kumble and our Danish they look for the bounce in the pitch to take wickets.
Where as murali and mendis just needed the ball to turn and can manage without the bounce.

I have only properly seen him bowl through a series here in Aus and he just looks so harmless but throw him in Sri Lanka and facing him is like : A big train going right up your butt, you wont know what hit you... He def has what it takes to create similar magic outside sub-continent but for some reason he doesnt do it.

Mendis isnt a big turner of the ball. In fact he hardly spins it, rather its his subtle variations that are catching the batrsman out at this point. The 2 threatening deliveries at the moment are the flick delivery that goes from leg to off a little and the quicker top spinner.
 
This is very very funny. An innings +200 run thrashing... against Sri Lanka! How did the best team of all time fall from grace so quickly? Especially with bowling super-heroes like Ishant and Harbhajan?

Simple:

a) Dropping catches left right & centre.

b) Our batsmen stunk so bad I can smell them from here all the way in OZ.
 
Kumble gone.

from cricinfo commentary page:
David: "You say there are three unsuccessful reviews allowed. How can you know if a review in unsuccessful or not until it has happened? In which case this would allow innumerable reviews!"
DAVID, after the third unsuccessful review, they cannot ask any decision to be reviewed. Cleared?

What a brilliant question! :)))

I think he doesn't know the counting from one to three.
 
Well I am looking forward to seeing how Sachin will come out and bat in the next match, this maybe just what he needs to wake up from a sleep mode after some time off.. Looking forward to him being back in form next match...

We are ok without Tests right now.our bowling is really pathetic now a days that it will be almost impossible to get 20 wickets.

I dont think that Sachin alone can do enough....

Bowling has to be improved also, u cant let them score so freely.

When we played SL, we had Asif to literally destroy their batting. If he wasnt there, we surely would've lost it, cause Murali also went rampage against us... (not to a extent like this match tough)
 
indian curators need to learn a thing or two from their sl counterparts on how to make spin pitches.

murali getting a huge turn here. It was an awesome toss to win for jaya.

I know we are going to lost almost any Tests, but we will only improve by playing them.... PCB also thinks like this: we already lost too many Tests, we wont push for more matches now... they want to save their *****

come on zaheer, how the hell can u play mendis on the backfoot?

When Tends, Gangs, Dravid and Laxman (the big four) didnt know what to do with this bowling, a bit hard to criticize Zaheer, dont you think?
 
In the end, Mendis was able to get the wkts of Dravid & Laxman TWICE.

Makes me wonder about Kumble who said something like "i doubt a player like Dravid would've problems with Mendis"
