2.6
Welegedara to Gambhir, OUT, that's a stunning yorker! Welegedara will want to see this replay a 100 times, he swings it in and lands the ball on the blockhole, Gambhir closes the face of the bat, fails to dig it out and the ball goes straight through and hits the leg stump, too bad the stumps didn;'t fall

G Gambhir b Welegedara 8 (12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

 

[Chuffed]

I am getting sick of the sight of SL.

Their kits are a revolting blend of colour.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50/1 in 6.1 overs.

 

[Random Aussie]

Is it just me or is the Sri Lankan selection process unfathomable?

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Whopee Sri Lanka vs India part 6, these two teams must know each like the back of their hands..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

6.5
Welegedara to Kohli, OUT, great reflexes by Sangakkara! Comes round the wicket, Kohli tries to cheekily nudge it down to third man but gets a thick edge, Sanga falls to his right and catches it

V Kohli c †Sangakkara b Welegedara 9 (12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

 

[ZAK]

I hate sehwag, he makes batting look so easy .

 

[Afridi_Fan]

8.4
Welegedara to Sehwag, OUT, very soft dismissal there! Sehwag tries to turn it to the on side but plays too early, he gets a thick leading edge and Thirimanne takes it easily at mid-off

V Sehwag c Thirimanne b Welegedara 47 (31b 9x4 0x6) SR: 151.61

 

[Romali_rotti]

Seriously why the hell is Zaheer playing in this series, I am sure he has enuff funds earned from IPL to skip this series and get some much needed rest....................

 

[Howzat]

Seriously why the hell is Zaheer playing in this series, I am sure he has enuff funds earned from IPL to skip this series and get some much needed rest....................

He just came back from an injury....what he needs is more match practice to get back into form. Rest is the last thing he wants right now.

 

[Oxy]

Do India really need to play so many ODIs?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Do India really need to play so many ODIs?

NO

 

[161]

India and Lanka playing again ... what the %^&* ?????

 

[bantu]

Do India really need to play so many ODIs?

I think this is part of the "deal" among the world cup "hosts"

 

[bantu]

India's score is 239/5 in 44 overs

 

[Howzat]

Someone had to fill in for the ODIs. BD invited Srilanka.

 

[PAF]

No Murali, Mendis, Malinga, Jayasuriya, Dilshan, Jayawardena?

 

[bantu]

India imploding ..........268/8 in 47 overs

 

[bantu]

No Murali, Mendis, Malinga, Jayasuriya, Dilshan, Jayawardena?

dilshan, murli injured
mendis,malinga,jaya dropped

 

[161]

No Ishant Sharma ?

He's the only reason I watch India

 

[Amjid Javed]

Intresting to see how the Inform Dilshan goes in the Lankans run chase.

 

[Amir]

Intresting to see how the Inform Dilshan goes in the Lankans run chase.

Especially considering he is not playing!!!

Honestly, why do we have a thread for this. The mods should just merge all ODI threads for India and Sri Lanka and call it the India Sri Lanka thread, heck they will probably play another series after this.

Opps didnt realize he was missing! India should win this one then!

 

[hasanb]

SL need 56 runs to win from 42 balls

At one stage SL were going great guns but it seems they are going to choke yet again.

 

[Hash]

I kind of expected us to throw this one away, even though we were well set for victory.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sri Lanka choking again.

Need 50 from 37 balls with 5 wickets in hand. Another run out.

 

[bantu]

Sl 230/5 in 43.5 overs................. Samaraveera is the key wicket and we need it now

 

[Easa]

lol I don't get this Sri Lankan team.

Why aren't they playing their best batsmen and bowlers?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Injured.

 

[Sledger]

Is Kandamby a South African? because he chokes like a pensioner against a python.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sri Lanka require another 38 runs with 5 wickets and 30 balls remaining

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dhoni asks for a ball change, which should suggest the previous fulltoss slipped out of Nehra's hand. Umpires say, no way Jose


) )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sri Lanka require another 20 runs with 5 wickets and 24 balls remaining

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Century for Samaraweera off just 104 balls.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sri Lanka require another 11 runs with 5 wickets and 18 balls remaining

 

[IAJ]

Perera is murdering the indian bowlers. I am at work and crapinfo is confused by this batting. 276/5, only 4 needed now.

 

[PAF]

Nehra to Perera, 2 runs, straight loft, Kohli makes a diving save at long-on, and his trousers come off, and Yuvraj can't control his laughter. Perera has already hit the pants off the ball, now it's the fielders losing them

Sri Lanka Won by 5 wickets.

 

[Ryankhan]

First of all im very sad with srilanka line up. damn they are playing their A side. No dilshan-No mendis-no Murli-no Jaysurya-No Malinga-No matthews- most important No Mahela.\\

so great effort by Srilanka the way they bowled and the way they batted. i didnt saw that whole match but in pieces and they looked good. in batting they really missed all those players and after sanga wicket the game really got slow and after kandamby got out, the new kid was just no where to be called a cricketer. couldnt even bat properly and thank god he got run out. perera was much better then him and great effort by Sanga and Samaraweera.

Awsome batting by them, shame on india, they were facing Srilanka A side and still LOST. hahahha....amazing srilanka. simply amazing. HATTS OF TO U. i wasnt expecting this win.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Perera made 36 off 15 balls with 6 fours and a six.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

47.4
Nehra to Perera, 2 runs, Zaheer takes a catch running back from mid-on, but neither Samaraweera nor Zaheer realise that there could be runs taken here. Samaraweera thinks Perera is out, Zaheer and Yuvraj celebrate. Well done us

And it was a free hit.

Indians have lost it.

We? Are you Sri Lankan?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Consistency = you play to your best potential every match.

Law-of-averages = you fail in 1 out of 10 matches played.



For Indian bowlers, the below is appropriate -

Consistency = you play to your worst potential in every match.

Law-of-averages = you play well in 1 out of 10 matches played.

 

[kamranO]

did any body see virat kohli slip his tracks and yuvraj was laughing

Mr. Khan Srilanka was lucky with the toss. It is just unplayable conditions for the bowling side in the second innings. Jayasurya, Mendis and murali were ineffective against India, even mallinga was useless in One days. The replacements are better than originals. Indians will come back strongly.. am damn sure

 

[Asok Chaktra]

and Mr. Khan just an update on Pak v/s Aus... Pak 85/5 ..Your ship is sinking at Sydney.. worry abt ur team. pathetic fielding and spineless batting going to cost you the match and series. good luck

We'll worry about that, you worry about losing to a Sri Lanka 3rd XI and how you're going to win a tournament away from home, where conditions aren't the batting paradise you would love them to be.

Srilankans does not ve a 3rd XI, their replacements are good enough to play at international level and India has won many series overseas recently in bowler friendly conditions. Just to refresh your memory, We defeated Aus in Aus 2008 winning both the CB finals, won against West Indies in WI, won against NZ in NZ, Won two series in a row against a full strength Srilanka in SL. (and also won against Pakistan in 3 series in Pak and India). Now Pakistan has lost to a Club Cricket like Aus test team! lost the match and the series! We beaten them at their full strength in Test and One Day in Aus!. So stop pointing fingers at India always!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri Lankas back up players are taking their chances to shine!
