Targetting 800 makes sense IMO. SL would look to bat only once in the game.

Mind you India don't like getting either one of these two out. I reckon if they declare now, they still will be safe. But you may as well go on and see if Jayawardene can get his 200 and Samaraweera can get his 100.

C'mon, let's not be a drama queen & try to make something out of nothing, It's hardly BS when we're effectively debating what constitutes a 'hammering'. The fact that more people disagreed with point A than with point B doesn't automatically render criticism of point B as being unsubstantiated, that's effectively what you're saying.

What's utter BS is trying to discredit someone point by conveniently alluding to something else unrelated. Poor cricket that - Howsatttt !

Its been 5.5 for the last 10 overs so I reckon they're making some sort of an attempt to score quicker.

Don't forget people that it's not that the bowling is bad or the pitch is flat.

It's because India and Sri Lanka batsmen are clearly 10-15 runs per innings better on average than every other batsmen in the World. Yep just look at those last 3-4 year Test batting averages. They're purely on merit. All the muppets defending them said so.

Funny how you don't bash Australians for being flat, home track bullies.

And if the subcontinent is so easy to bat in, why do so many non SC batsmen struggle?

Loss of Malinga will be felt more than Murali here IMO. Always the feeling he could make a breakthrough.
