*Official* India in Sri Lanka 2010 - Tests

[kingkallis]

I dont understand why would they make turfs like this?

Why cant ICC set a rule for the wickets?

Whats the point of this game? [ SRT breaking record of Don ]

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Oh just end the test now, impromptu 20/20 match as an apology to the crowd and move on.

 

[Jayzamann]

Still a chance for India to have an innings victory!

No?

 

[TT Boy]

Whoever came up with this pitch is a c*** and shouldn’t be allowed near another wicket again. Only been following the game via Cricinfo and I have lost the will to live.

 

[stumpski]

Sri Lankan openers wiping off the deficit at eight an over. Could still be worth watching if Dilshan sticks around.

I am only watching it now cause England v Pakistan isn't on yet.

People are real unreasonable in taking shot at SL pitches by generalising. SSC is a **** pitch, and admitted. But other pitches are known to help bowlers, and SL produces bowler friendly wickets as a whole. Galle, Dambulla, PSS and Asgiriya all are bowler's pitches.

'Sehwag to DPMD Jayawardene, OUT, 84.2 kph, LBW! Sehwag bowls one that pitches around middle from round the wicket, Mahela moves forward and across to play on the leg side and misses, he gets hit in front but perhaps that was spinning down leg? Yes, replays show the ball would have turned past leg stump'

Ouch

Agreed, should be buried in it to be fair

3 down. A hat-trick right after tea could make things interesting.

 

[Prince EWS]

Under-bowled part-time off-spinners who open the batting are clearly the key to this pitch.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah both Dilshan and Sehwag have been fantastic on this pitch. Just wait till Imran Farhat gets his fingers twirling!!

I'm not Indian or Sri Lankan though
When's England's next tour?

 

[Kylez]

Well that's the end to a very dull and forgettable test match. Hopefully we don't see a test match like that again because that was just dire. The SSC shouldn't host test cricket if their going to dish up that crap.

Obviously Sachin and Sanga and the others batted well but there wasn't anything at all in that for the bowlers..

Although if Tendulkar was caught on 29 it could of been interesting.

Should have bowled Paranavithana too. Useful part timer.

 

[Sir Alex]

Rubbish pitch really. If 10 and jack can last more than 25 overs, it's nothing more than dire.

 

[Sir Alex]

Also wonder whether the lawyer captain would crib about this pitch too.

 

[Jono]

Problem with this is there will be no punishment at all.

 

[Migara]

There was no punishment for some Indian and Pakistani borefests as well.

 

[Jono]

I know. Hence my point. The pattern is no punishment occurs.
