What's new

Third Test between India [536/7d & 246/5d] and SL [373 & 299/5] ends in a draw - Ind win series 1-0

Umpires have no mask on. ***** are typically more sensitive to these pollution. Batsmen have no masks.
 
How was that not a no ball #moenali also, pathetic umpiring yet again by anil choudhary!
I guess they would not be playing if umpires needed to wear masks..
And SL needed masks after 120 overs? Will they also bat with masks on? What about Lahore & the smog that was there supposedly when SL toured?

It was marginal but not a no ball ..
 
Ashwin's batting is getting more and more pathetic by the day.

Just months ago he was scoring runs in county but after that, he has failed in EVERY single innings.

Domestic & international.

Touch players when they play badly are ugly.

I really don’t know how it was in Lahore but having experienced the smog in Delhi, these are some terrible conditions to play the international cricket under. The chill of December only aggravates it further..

It does but SL are being hypocrites & I'd say cheats when they;re doing this after 120 overs & 500+ runs behind. They could've easily complained about this yesterday, not when Kohli scored 200+ & India over 500.
 
Wonder if conditions have gotten worse drastically since yesterday. They were ok playing yesterday.


I was there last week and the conditions weren't too bad either.
 
Just marginal, remember the same arguments going against Moeen?

By the time his toe touched the ground his heel was slightly behind the line .. by less than mili meter I would say ..
 
It does buy SL are being hypocrites & I'd say cheats when they;re doing this after 120 overs & 500+ runs behind.

Getting annoying now. Kohli should just declare now, and show the Lankans hows it done. The current score will be enough for us to win by an innings.

Well, you are well within your rights to call them whatever u deem fit however considering the fact that 2 of their pacers have left the field on health reasons, there obviously has to be something wrong out there.

No. If two of our pacers left for health reasons you could be sure there was something wrong.

They have given up on taking wickets, so no harm whether they stay or not. Meanwhile they can pretend to be suffering from pollution and try and get the game called off or get under our skin.

Smog was not there when SL toured Lahore . It started in Lahore in early November so that's why West Indies tour to Pakistan was cancelled .

You know what they did this to take fielders off the playing field now Chnadi is complaining they only have 10 players! You think SL are angels, go ahead we've seen enough of their antics & cheating to know better.

Their players are ill. Lakmal legit threw up vomit on the field. It's heartless to assume they are cheating.
 
Really pathetic behavior by SL players. Having pollution issue after every boundary? They keep sending fielders away.

I never said that they are bunch of angels playing out there however having said this when was the last time you saw a fielding team running out of substitutes?

Do you have official numbers for AQI or something on those days, at the time of the matche? I agree Delhi is probably the smog capital of the world atm, however what changed in between a day or half an hour, from the morning session, for them to pretend they were choking?

Do we know that just air pollution caused this? Could be something he ate.

They;re faking it, seen them do so many times before.

Kohli when he clicks, clicks BIGGGG.

Him in one such overseas series with our bowlers supporting could lead to a historic win.
 
I was loving the theatricals out there.. kohli shouldn’t have declared. It’s pity that we fans have been denied an opportunity to see the fielding team running out of substitutes and forced to field their coaching staff as fielders.
 
So you need masks to field but not to bat do batsman get better quality air to breathe.

Its a test of patience.

We don't have patience.

Let's roll them over and go home.

SA tour couldn't come fast enough.

Enough of this Lanka nonsense.

Did u not see lakmal throwing up??

Throwing up due to the quality due of air? Come on we've seen better acting, from lesser players, besides who's to day that he didn;t eat something bad? Also most of us live in smoggy cities in India, even me, I;ve yet to throw up due to it ever! btw I have respiratory problems from a young age & all sorts of allergies, yet to see anyone choke & vomit due to bad air, never!

You have to be special kind of rubbish to lose a Test series to this Sri Lankan side.
 
haha true.

We should have aimed for the 950 target too.

I cdnt careless as long as the coaching staff would hv been fielding. This also would have shown us how good or bad fielding coaches are when it comes to fielding in a real match situation.
 
Both ..depends..
Seriously, not trivializing the smog issue but seriously, do really think that the smog is so bad right now that it caused an athlete in his near prime to throw up but 10-15k people have no issues with it.

I ain’t saying that smog caused it. May be he wasn’t feeling well already and smog might have trigged it .. that’s my only take on it..

Smog + terrible chill of December , a perfect recipe for disaster..

Fair enough unless we get more info we can argue over it till end of days, but I feel Lankans just used the poor guy's health issue to waste time, funny how batting doesn't require the masks fielding required.
 
Poor chap Dhananjaya dismissed. Serial whiners Chandimal and Mathews didn't show the guts to move up the order when their opener is out injured. There is their spinner opening. Pathetic Lankans
 
To waste more time on field to draw match . Srilankan Players started calling each other with full names :D
 
Who's going to tell the captain to stop fielding at slips though? :13:

Kohli got kumble fired, the only person who could have told him off. Shastri is just there to massage his ego.
I don't think even Kumble would have ... apart from Rahane there is no safe slipper.
 
This is just disgusting... Delhi is the worst place to live at this time... u simply cant breathe... Almost 90% people wear masks in Delhi.... uff maybe they are also faking it.....

90% people wear mask in Delhi ? Lol. You will find hardly 5-10% wearing masks. Pollution levels are high, but not catastrophic. FIFA Under 17 world cup was held when pollution was even higher.

I can only tell what i saw... Visited last month and could hardly see any person without mask... Visited my relatives and everyone among them was wearing masks... You can just check Air Quality Index of Delhi anywhere on internet and you will find it is not catastrophic but deadly...Bro Four Sri Lankan players vomited, was that also Fake.... at one point they had only 10 players and no one was there who could have fielded for them and brother that stopped the play becoz they were short of men....

IIRC the situation was very poor a few weeks ago, isn't now though, SL players making a mountain out of a mole hill.
 
SL has an outside chance now to pull off a draw. We need to score 200 n declare before day 4 close.

People trashing SL test team come talk now :)))

On this issue.

1) Most people in Delhi are not wearing masks. Forget anecdotal evidence like relatives etc or what you saw vs what Kaptan saw. Just look at the audience when camera shoots to them. People in audience are not wearing masks. I didn't notice any. But certainly I'd actually bet my life that your claim of 90% people wearing masks is utterly false. Even Srilankan fans weren't for that matter. This is a better Test because everyone reading this can just see the match on TV and confirm, whereas no one can verify the claims of either you or Kaptan.

2) Yes, air quality is horrible, but this is a long term issue that damages your long term health, not something that everyone outside is fainting or vomiting.

3) I didn't see any Srilankans vomit, and seeing their behaviour in many games, it's certainly not impossible they can make this up. Nobody except a Srilankan has faced this problem in the match yet.

Coming from a person who lives in Delhi.
Vomiting due to Delhi current air condition is a joke. Even my 3 year old boy never vomited because of polluted air. I didn't see anyone vomit in Delhi because of this even during worst pollution days like Diwali.

I agree that there is no evidence which can clarify my remark... that is why in my second post i said from what i saw... I had a two day stay at Jamia Nagar and i could hardly see any person without masks... visited JMI and and everyone was there with a mask on face......
Also some posters saying that Air quality is bad... bro is it bad? It is deadly...
I would not have defended SL if this vomiting thing wouldn't have happened... i myself watched all the drama they did when Pakistan needed 300 runs in last 2 sessions of Test match
