Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Yuppie, I think 5 days of cricket at Delhi or any other polluted city won't make much difference. New born babies who have relatively very less resistance power are inhaling same air. Club cricketers who are very young are playing day in and out in this hot and polluted weather since years. Ranking cricketers are playing in similar stress and conditions. If masks and other first aid is available then the match should happen imo.

Atleast Lankans are giving a good fight in this test.

Chandimal and Matthews hit centuries.

Think we will still get a lead and make use of day 4 and 5 wicket much better in their second batting innings.

Odds of Sri Lanka batting well twice must be low

Especially with the relentless pressure ashwin and jadeja put on

not only those two, Ishant and Shami bowled quite well as well.
no real easy runs or bowlers you can take a breather against.

I didn't watch the match. Was the bowling very good and run scoring too slow.

T20 squad.
Rohit Sharma (capt.), KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni(wk), Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Basil Thampi, Jaydev Unadkat

So only Sharma, Rahul, pandya and bumrah in the test squad in SA.
also think these are the players not likely to play the first test although I have one of Rahul/Rohit playing the first test, at the moment I have rohit sharma playing the test match.

Rohit as T20 captain is good choice. Won us 3 IPL titles as captain. And a batsman captain too , so less chance of injury.

SL trail by 168 with just 1 wicket left.

SL all out, India lead by 163 runs. Massive lead this.

174/1.

Ajinkya promoted in batting order at 1 down as Vijay gets out.

4

These 2 need to increase the scoring rate.

Ajinkya's poor form continues. 193/2.
