#1 Posted: 2/13/2012 9:03:24 PM India coming off their biggest win of the tour. Sri Lanka are 0 for at the moment but in both their losses they haven't been that bad to be honest. Both times they had opportunities to win but reckless batting and poor decision making ultimately lost them the match. I still believe if Sanga didn't get stupidily run out against Australia Lanka would have won that last game as Dilshan and he were cruising at the time.
I can see a bit of a letdown for India today as a result of their dramatic win against Australia on Sunday. Sri Lanka in a must win situation and there is not much between these 2 teams in the Australian conditions.
Sri Lanka @ 2.50 for me today

#2 Posted: 2/13/2012 9:09:41 PM Haddin not selected for the next stage of the ODIs. So much for him being "rested" in the first 3 matches  
It's ridiculous how much spin the selectors hand out to the media. Why not just come out and say that he was dropped from the outset

#3 Posted: 2/13/2012 9:29:43 PM Rod, i thought i would never say this , but it appears to me that SL are the worst players of spin in the world.....
They were woeful against Ashwin and even Jadeja held them down....
Then Aswin and Jadeja get spanked against aus again on Sunday......
England even played the Paki spinners better last night than when SL went there...
Strange..... |

#8 Posted: 2/14/2012 12:56:15 AM Just pure brainless dead garbage batting..
You are on 81 runs , the ball gets hit straight to a fielder 10 metres away, and you start running.......
Thats the last time i bet on this team, they just have to find a way to completely darn things up,
They just seem to have a very very low IQ,
If you didnt think human beings could that dumb you would think they are throwing games.... |

#15 Posted: 2/14/2012 3:53:02 AM Lanka have to get Gambhir out pretty quickly here. He is looking comfortable on this pitch with has some uneven bounce

#25 Posted: 2/14/2012 4:07:44 AM That wicket has made Gambhir get bogged down now. I'm sure he knows he is the key wicket
