I thought all the Indian bowlers bowled well, Zaheer obviously going for the most runs but he really set the tone of the innings early on. Munaf and Harbhajan were quite good through the middle while Sehwag and Tendulkar were the only weak links, but that is to be expected when India only play 4 bowlers. Dilshan and Arnold batted really well.

Whatever it takes!!!
So, you guys think we have a good chance here? I think it will be difficult to chase, because apparently, the pitch isn't as good as expected and already balls are keeping low and stuff.

I read a quote from Rahul Dravid that said something like " We don't know when he is going to fire, if it's tomorrow then that's good but if it takes longer then we will have to wait" This was of course in reference to Virender Sehwag, which I think is a ridiculous mentality that the Indian team have. A guy needs to score runs to be in the side unless he is a genius going through a bad patch, but Sehwag has shown no signs of trying to work himself back into form.

Ganguly is looking good.

And the SL bowling stocks are looking pretty poor at the moment, a lot will depend on their fielding, teamwork, and Jayawardene's captaincy.

TBH, i have no idea that what this indian team want to achieve, one day they send utthapa as their opener, and in the very next game they send sehwag as the opener. Where is the consistency with their batting order so close to the world cup. Sachin is gone and there is still no sign of dravid.

India desperately need to get Sehwag and Yuvraj as much action as possible. That's why Sehwag opened. That's why Yuvraj was promoted. Anyways, we're in deep ****.

I can't believe I'm saying this.

**** you Sachin.

Hello ! Welcome ! The 'genius' bowled so well and batted even better. Mr. Vice captain can now endorse product sthe rest of the day - good for his business. Last match he got out at the worst time AFTER being dropped !

DROP TENDULKAR - he is a loser !!

Jeez, you really are a tall poppy hater arent you?

(India should still win this though imo, with Ganguly looking in good nick and some good batting to come. The score is not all that challenging and SL are missing 3 frontline bowlers)

Hi JustTool. How are you? What are your thoughts on Tendulkar today?
Come on guys ! He has been a has-been who is rapidly losing all his lustre by hanging on when he should be long gone. Does his batting inspire confidence ? "Brittle" is what comes to mind. US paying fans deserve much better. And yes, it galls me that someone who has playing so rotten is deified and makes so much money. The only worse injustice is the corrupt politicians.

Did you just compare a cricketer to corrupt politicians? :laugh:
