Sri Lanka v India, 1st Test, Galle, 12-16 August, 2015

Sanga's farewell series. Would rather see Herath in over Kaushal.

Vijay injured, Kohli playing shit, Ishant is the person to depend on going by the tour match. The world is not in a good place atm. At least Rahane went well...

And of course, there has to be at least some rain.

There appears to be no TV coverage of this in Aus, which is pretty f*cking annoying.

No-one get their matches any more. Pisses the f*ck out of me.

I am gutted. It's not on in SA either.

You mean matches in Sri Lanka? Well, they showed the recent Sri Lanka v Pakistan series here, but according to the TV guide they're not showing this one.

They are showing the South Africa V New Zealand T20s and ODIs. Whoop-f*cking-ee

It's in the highly acclaimed Sony Entertainment Television Asia channel in the UK.

Tune in

Sanga is arguably a better batsman than any other player of the last 15 years. I'm genuinely sad that I won't be able to see his farewell series.

Yes, but daily highlights will be on the equally lauded Sony SAB which I think is free

No, he's just pleased to see you

Lankans won the toss & batted. Not a good toss to win it seems. They are struggling at 107/5

So it's a dustbowl on Day 1??? Ashtray getting the wickets.

It's always been a spinners pitch. Mathews again playing well. They've a replacement for one of Sanga/Jaya. Never an easy pitch to chase on.

What are the odds on the next one being a greeny considering they've the better pacers?

10 minutes later.... Mathews is gone.

171/7...India well on top.

Oh dear. 183ao. Ashwin 6. He is the business on these sort of tracks though.

Another three day test on the cards?

So umpire Oxenford upholds an LBW appeal, but then says it might be a no ball. How can he be concentrating on either the front line OR the LBW decision in that case?

Umpires need to call no balls, or there needs to be some sort of instant notification via a sensor on the front crease etc if it's a no ball.

We have seen in the Ashes series that they have stopped calling the no ball. A wicket is routinely referred.

I'm in India these days gents.  The one advantage of living here is that if there's even a village idiots versus tac's goat shaggers game going on anywhere in the known universe, some TV channel will probably be carrying it live.  In 'normal' and HD.

Ergo, my relentless pursuit of dodgy links is now in the past.

On topic, good day for India.

Yes, but he says the antibiotics are working wonders.

Walking it atm. Chameera for Kaushal/Herath in the next test imo
