SL v India, 6th ODI, Asia Cup, Dambulla, June 22, 2010

Such an important game for India and even then Saurabh Tiwary isn't played.

Karthik comes and plays this game out of nowhere. Lucky, isn't he! Well, you don't need luck when you've Srikanth.

Dhoni loses yet another toss and India are batting first.

Sehwag (injured), Nehra (dropped) and Bhajji (rested). In come, Karthik, Dinda and Ojha.

Yeah esp. considering the fact that Karthik was dropped as wk-bat in Zim in 2nd/3rd string Indian team, and now he's back as specialist bat in main Indian team. Strange.

Better choice would have been to bat Kohli at the top and give S Tiwary his debut in the middle order.

Thank Zat

We're such a mediocre side that we're playing an opener who averages less than 30 even after playing close to 50 games. And whats more! His S/r is princely 76.

Nepotism at its very best.

Ah ..... cheesey feet is Zat and not PeteyCS as previously thought ...

Srikanth doesn't need your advise. He was anyway itching to play a TN player in Indian team. Its already been so many games that India is being represented by a TN player.

As I type, Karthik: 14* (25).

Erm, I think MB said "Thank Zat" not "Thanks Zat".

Stupid Dilshan failed to run Karthik out.

Karthik saved again.

Pedant.

Gambhir gone.

That was an excellent catch by Randiv.

Well, I caught a flash of the duplicate thread that Frommie created and I think A used some abusive quote from Zog. The cheese-eater had the duplicate gone in a flash.



Frommie

Kohli fails again.

Kathik gone as well.

Shows how piss poor our batting lineup is, in the absence of Tendulkar, Sehwag and Yuvraj, which is a shame really.

Sanga's appealing has reached ridiculous proportions. There was never an edge there and he basically forced Billy to raise his finger by his overzealous appealing. This however doesn't reflect too well on Billy as well.

PS: I'm all for Karthik to be booted out of Indian team but that was piss poor appeal from Sanga.

FTB gone as well.

So SG, what's the standings in the Asia Cup. It's a guaranteed Ind v SL Final, no? Our is it first past the post and no Final?

Ind and SL are to meet each other in the final (which is on 24th).

This is only an inconsequential game.

Thanks. Thought that was the case.

Dhoni gone.
