Sri Lanka v India, 5th ODI, Pallekele, 4 August, 2012

Woohoo.

For the piefellow. He seems keen.

Missed that completely. What a blind spot ... my tits must have got in the way.

Unless skully is Fromage ...

I merely start the game threads, as no-one else could be arsed. As such, I do notice if they get rikkied or not. This one went up this arvo.

Who'd wanna mod this place, espesh with whackos like skully to deal with? I couldn't resist banning certain qunts that get up my nose.

Bannies currently cruising along at 3-86 in 17, but Coaly failed.

Didn't realise that this was today. The positive is the pretty fit presenter for the innings break. 294 should be enough.

we get up to 2nd in the rankings

whats our next gig? the snoozies?

Only tests and 2020s against them. Next OD is post the 2020 world cup.

3 vs the snoozies. 4 vs england. 4 vs the aussies. should be a good season

would be disappointed if we didn't win all

Got the list? Cos cricinfo lists it as only test and 2020 and the snoozers.

Well done to the Bannies. Climbing the rankings that matter.

Good to see both England and Australia playing four tests each in India. And hell, even the Kiwis are getting three tests as opposed to their standard two.

Only 2 tests for New Zealand.

youre right, only 2 vs nz. a tour of just 19 days!

short tour due to the t20 world cup?

India v New Zealand tests in India are traditionally extremely dull affairs, with New Zealand playing for draws and India unable to find the inspiration to play at their best.

thats true. for some reason we always struggle to beat them at home. somehow we also end up playing them on extremely turgid pitches

Aye, the short tour's because of the T20 world cup.

And yeah, it should be a turgid series, unless there's a proper turner, can't see NZ holding on in such pitches. It was the flattest of pitches where McCullum scored that 200.
