SL were 83-5 after 23.3 overs. 20 years ago that would've been a normal day at the office for most ODI batting line-ups. Nobody died, nobody even retired hurt. The batsmen have protective gear. What eaxctly WAS the problem, not enough sixes? Was the risk of SOMEBODY copping one in the mush too much to bear?

The Lankans chickened out of that match over 3 or 4 deliveries that bounced awkwardly from the 130 odd bowled that day. Sachin had nothing to do with it.

For heaven's sake, at least get your facts right. He wasn't even playing that game. However its good for you to sensationalize your thread.

So Sachin was so scared he pulled out before the game ...

BCL would have played

he skipped the entire series, didn't he.

BCL would would have played

that's why he is no more in international cricket. Too many meaningless ODIs.

Sachin is cleverer, he plays only tests.

Keep yer hair on! One simple error and everyones over me like a bad rash.

I've edited my OP to remove my ridiculous and vicious LIES (and to disguise my laziness to boot). :p

Point stands IMO.

Seamless...
