We just need to get the flat track bully out. After that it will be hilarious watching Choker and his comrades struggle against Ajantha and Murali. Choker will hopefully be dismissed by Murali as he has been five times in the last four games! :))

How did the FTB do in his last Test match against us, TruSachFan? Care to remind me? How many runs did he score in his last Test against us, who was he dismissed by, how did he help his team in that game?

Thanks in advance TruSach.

Care to tell me how many Test wins your team has had when both McGrath and Warne have played for Australia since January 2002 (six and a half years, a very long time)?

Then get back to me and continue your usual trolling.

BTW since you're a Tru "Sachin" fan, what do you have to say about his blatant cheating at the SSC, refusing to walk despite getting an edge to Murali? And then pretending that he hadn't even after the VIDEO REFERRAL?

Stop trolling, and answer the question. How did the FTB do in his last Test match against us. Answer it.
 
anyways


4:09 pm Sambit: "28 overs to be bowled today. Play to begin at 4.30 pm . The official close of play is now 6.15 and they can go until 6.45 to finish the overs. And from tomorrow, they will start 30 mins early. So 98 overs a day. They have lost 34 overs today, but if everything goes to plan and there are no more interruptions they will make up 32. So officially, the Test has lost only two overs. And it's absolutely bright and sunny now."



come on, we need a sehwag 200+. Hope he makes 300+:D

holding saying dravid was not out since the ball hit the fielders helmet after it hit the shoulder
 
LOL Sorry but that Ganguly wicket it looks kind of cute, like you see in junior cricket; the coach giving slip catching practice to the kids :))

So now we have 2 umpires, a 3rd umpire plus a heap of cameras and a review system....and it is still not right. And a 4th umpire whose job seems to be to fine people.

What a surprise.

Maybe we could add a 5th umpire to overrule all the other umpires, call him the uberumpire. :dna

Some drama regarding Dravid's dismissal. The ball popped off the short-leg fielder, hit the right shoulder and then rebounded off the helmet grill before he caught it again. LAW 32 (Caught) - Section 3 efair catch -A catch shall be considered to have been fairly made if a fielder catches the ball after it has touched an umpire, another fielder or the other batsman. However, it is not a fair catch if the ball has touched a protective helmet worn by a fielder, although the ball remains in play.

lol, I agree with you. He would have been out a few balls later anyway, the form he's in

Used to love this guy before
 
Gauti and Viru showing it like it is

There are no demons in the pitch or bowlers, only in the minds and hand-eye co-ordination of our ageing superstars

I hope Lax gives some support to Viru now and we can reach 300-350

I have always showed my dislike towards him and everyone knows that, he is just a pansy who is scared as hell when real bowlers like Mcgrath & Warne come to party...
 
Oh yeah another thing guys, I finally know why everyone hates Arun Lal he is driving me INSANEEEE I WISHHH I COULD SHOOTT HIMMMMMMMM :po: this guy is the most one sided commentator I have ever seen...
 
If I ever come face to face with Arun Lal I'll punch him on the face first thing.

Doesnt have any character, hate his batting, hated his captaincy just plain dislike him..

what were u doing during rawalpindi 04? adelaide 04?? The match where bcz of him we managed to chase 155 against aus. Theres countless other examples.
 
Even though Sehwag is the ultimate FTB i'll have to give it to him that he plays spinners as well as anybody.

Sri Lanka has clawed their way back into the game after a butchery start from India. Tommorow will be intresting, can Sri Lanka dismiss India for under 350 or can India post a big total of excess 500?

All depends on the butcher for Delhi
 
Sri lanka have fought back well after india got off to a flyer. Indias so called big 3 look very average!
 
Sehwag and Laxman hold the key for India tommorow if India is going to get a score of excess 500. Or else 330 all out looks on the cards if one of these two goes early.
 
And that will be Sehwags one and only useful innings of the entire tour.

After that it's back to the 10's and 20's.

alrite. Will be a minefield on day 4-5 :D Guess the plan backfired on the sl curators and team.

They were seriously banking on winning the toss and batting first.

yeah IND seem to have a great chance then but still a long way to go. IND can easily be bowled out for 310-320
 
This pitch will suit Kumble.

Dummy Lankan curators should have just prepared another flat track.

Its all up to sehwag since laxman is the worst player in the indian team when it comes to batting with the tail.

And what could be more useful than a 150 or 200 right now? It would mean winning or drawing the test (if India makes 400+), it would also mean a shot at winning or drawing the series. If he does do that (unlikely) then his work for the test series is over IMO. Not saying he should take it easy, but there are 6 other fatcats who can move their yarses for the 3rd test.

Yes... indeed! He did put Mendis on defensive and he (Mendis) was trying different things.

Here is the pitch report by Waqar:
Pitch "Weird pitch," says Waqar Younis on Ten Sports channel. "One side has lots of cracks that have already opened up a touch and which should take spin from second day on wards. The other side has flat, no cracks but is damp and might aid swing because of the sea breeze." Whoa! If only the other half had grass it would have been like the Federer Nadal exhibition game on the half clay half grass court. Immense fun awaits us.

Just wait and see how the track plays when Sehwag is not batting.

Spot On!!!
And this is even before Sehwag left the Crease.

Probably this series is the last time the famed middle order will be playing together. Really Sad to see great players in their decline.
 
sl needs two more quick wickets in the mornig session to take full control of this match...

This is why i backed Sehwag even when he didnt do much in the 1st test.

He is such a player, once he starts he will go to get his 100. A treat to watch really.

And i assume there has be a small indian collapse again? last time i checked they were looking good and in a position to get a big score, but now it doesnt seem like they will get 500+
 
270/4
sehwag is on 170 I think. He almost holed out but luckily chamara stepped over the rope and it was a 6
lax hanging in there too
 
Thanks. Keep updating please. Can't get cricinfo at work today for some reason.
 
No problem. Laxman-I-can-manage-30 holes out to Mendis on 39. He pulled one for 4, went for another one and that was totally unnecessary. Karthik walks in and looks towards heaven for a full minute.

Yeh, Its Sehwag Vs Srilanka so far. Hope some of our bowlers can lend him a hand with the bat now and with the ball later.
 
I am not sure if keeping these IND big guns out of ODIs is helping. They look rusty.
