India tour of SL, Aug 6 - Sept 1

Dhawan gets a fair bit of criticism but his record is decent. Enough time for a biggie.

Now please check his record outside the subcontinent. Just an overrated flat track bully filling his boots.

So what? A lot of England bowlers can't bowl well outside of England. If you can play well at home, you're doing well in at least half of your matches....

Sanga out for 40 in his penultimate Test...let's see what Thirimanne and Mubarak can do.

Chandimal gets his half-century....

Thirimanne out for 44...that's a high score for him.

[braveneutral]

I thought that we were past the days of flat track bully as a valid sentiment. It just seems simplistic and crude as a description.

[Aidan11]

SL relying on Chandimal again.


Looks all over though.

[Aidan11]

100 for Chandimal

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done Dinesh. Mubarak making unexpected runs.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hundred lead posted.

[mikesiva]

Mubarak making unexpected runs.

Out for 49...we really couldn't expect him to make more than that.

[Aidan11]

Those images of the TV screen obscure the scorecard.

Anyone looking n for the first time would think Chandimal only scored 11 runs.

[Aidan11]

Although the two sixes might give it away.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mubarak approaching his first Test fifty.

[dan08]

Chandimal should have been given out earlier i reckon. Looks like the ball came straight off the boot.

[Arthur Crabtree]

No!!!!!!!!!

[Aidan11]

Amazed Harbarjan Singh has only played 103 tests.

He seems to have been around forever.

[Arthur Crabtree]

He's been out for a bit. I was looking up his stats since he returned, but statsguru is down, as it sometimes is when India are playing.
