***Official*** India's Tour of Sri Lanka 2017

This is all Shastri's doing. Soon we'll be making dumb selections like Karn Sharma in the team.

Tbf it's not that bad, but this is only the beginning imo.

It's a perfectly good decision to try out a fast bowling AR before the overseas season begins. They're going to have to drop one of Jadeja/Ashwin though.

Yea I can understand the decision.

Just don't get why Bhuvi gets the axe again. Drop Umesh for a change.

Hasn't Umesh been immense in test matches recently? I like Bhuvi and by no means think he's poor but he gets more hype than Ben Stokes on here.

Poor Gunaratne. Confirmed that he is out of this test now.

Scoring rate is very fast. Is it a road?

Yup. Bowling's been poor as well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sehwag-esque innings.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Daddy innings incoming here methinks.

Good, hope it breaks up as the match progresses, provided we can pile up a good first innings score here.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

This Igea 4g advert though! 'Look, look'!

Ideally we'd have 20-30 more runs at this stage, but we've got wickets in hand and these two are well set. Should look to really step on the gas and try to get to 270, maybe even 280, from here.

Kumara' s control is shocking and has been every since he debuted.Time to go back to domestic for a while I think

Ok sorry, just had a glance and thought it was mistakenly put. Understood now

 

[honestbharani]

Happy for Dhawan. And very excited for Dhawan and Rahul partnership from next test, hopefully. *touches wood*

 

[fredfertang]

Hadn't realised this was on until I looked at cricinfo - 199-1 with Jadeja to come in at 9 - the Sri Lankans must be feeling pretty low

 

[cnerd123]

Was Kumara the SL fast bowler I was really impressed by and who I thought was genuinely good?


Yikes

 

[cnerd123]

Turns out Gunaratne is out of the rest of this Test. That dropped catch proving costly more ways than one.
