Against SL in SL so a good chance I think for Sachin to erase memories of 2008.
Australia - ofcourse, no extra motivation is needed for this series.
At any cost, he must play these two series even if it means missing the World Cup

3 Tests against Dosthu's SRL in July
A test series against NZ in India. It will easily have atleast 2 test matches.
In between BCCI has requested for to convert the 7 match ODI series to play 2 Tests and 3 ODI's in October just like what they did to the SA Tour earlier this year. Cricket Australia is also looking forward to such an agreement as they want to have a test match practice before Ashes in November.
(Don't know the timing) But just before WC India is travelling to SA for a 3 test series.

இப்பவெல்லாம் ஒரு சிலர் கிரிக்கெட் ஆடுறத பார்த்தா எங்க வீட்டு எதிரில் சின்ன பசங்க கில்லி விளையாடுவதே பரவாயில்லை என்ற நிலைமை. அதனாலே இந்த மாதிரியெல்லாம் அணியைத் தேர்வு செய்கிறார்களோ என்றே எண்ணத் தோன்றுகிறது. ஆட்ட நுணுக்கத்திறன் என்றால் கிலோ என்ன விலை என்று கேட்கக்கூடிய இந்த திவாரி, திந்தா போன்றவர்களுக்கு எப்படி வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தது????
May be because of Indisciplined Players League.

Australia in India 2010
BCCI requests Australia for Tests
Cricinfo staff

India requested South Africa to play two Tests and retained the No. 1 ranking by winning in Kolkata © AFP
Related LinksTeams: Australia | India
In its quest to maintain India's No.1 Test ranking the BCCI has sent a proposal to Cricket Australia to convert the seven-match ODI series in October to two Tests and three ODIs. India had climbed to the top spot in 2009, after drubbing Sri Lanka 2-0 at home, and then retained the ranking by fighting back to level the two-Test series against South Africa in February.
"We've got an open mind on it but it's being discussed and that could be the road down which we will go," a CA spokesman told the Australian on Tuesday.
This is not the first time the Indian board has intervened to change the original itinerary of a proposed tour. Earlier this year Cricket South Africa had agreed to a compressed tour of two Tests and three ODIs, replacing the original five-match ODI series. India's change of mind came in the wake of ascending to the No.1 Test ranking for the first time, and they were eager to preserve it.
According to the ICC's Future Tours Programme, India were scheduled to play only a handful of Tests in 2010, an aberration the BCCI is desperate to correct. So far this year, India have played four Tests but are lined up to play three in Sri Lanka in July, and then another three at home against New Zealand at the end of the year.
Asked if the BCCI had indeed formally requested the Australian board, N Srinivasan, the Indian board's secretary did not deny or confirm the news, saying he would be issuing a press release soon on the matter. CA were more forthright and positive about the development.
"One of the thoughts going through our heads is that we've got an Ashes series coming up and all we've got between now and then is two Tests against Pakistan in England during July," the spokesman said. Australia host England in November and are keen to avenge the 2009 Ashes defeat.
"Playing Tests in India in October may not be a bad idea because it gives us another chance to have another reasonably contemporary Test experience under the belt."

Y. Pathan should have been tried in the opener slot in the current Ind-SL-Zim series atleast. But the Indian thinktank failed to do so. They have experimented with the entire team, but why not with Pathan as an opener still remains a puzzle for me. Originally Posted by Appu s

3. An test series win in SA.

Please list out the reasons, lm.
I don't think so. England are peaking at the right time. They have good bowlers and batsmen to back up the game. Australia are already reeling in the test front with losses to SA, India and England in the last 2 years. England in all accounts will probably win this test series i believe. Win Margin 2 tests aa irundhaalum aacharyapadardhukku illa

Yes and for that matter that he is one of the greatest captains is a baloon which I want to deflate for a long time. Already thanks to India, SA and England that is half deflated. If India and England manage to win series wins that chapter can be closed effectively. I so wanted Pakistan to win atleast one match last year. They squandered a golden egg chance.

World Cup build-up starts now - Dhoni
A day ahead of India's departure to Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup, MS Dhoni has said the tournament presents a chance to start zeroing in on the combination for the 2011 World Cup. Dhoni and several other senior members of the Indian team have had a month away from the treadmill of top-flight cricket, and will join several youngsters such as offspinner R Ashwin and quick bowler Ashok Dinda for the competition in Dambulla.
"This is the time, with 8-10 months to go for the World Cup, when you can make a few changes," Dhoni said in Chennai. "Once we get closer we want to play with a fixed side and give them more exposure, get them more used to the conditions."
Over the past few years, most venues in the subcontinent have laid out batsmen-friendly tracks for one-dayers but Dambulla, which hosts all matches of the Asia Cup, remains one of the exceptions. "It is an important tournament. We'll (seniors) be playing one-day cricket after quite a long time," Dhoni said. "Conditions will be a bit different, Dambulla is not one of the high-scoring venues, it will be important to keep that in the back of the head."
One of the talking points about the Indian squad has been the axing of Yuvraj Singh, who has struggled for form and fitness in the past several months. Dhoni said he was a 'fan' of Yuvraj and expected him to make a quick return to the team.
"Last couple of years, he has been the main strength of our middle order, definitely we will miss him," Dhoni said. "The kind of talent he has it shouldn't be difficult for him to come back."
The squad is also missing a quartet of young fast bowlers - Ishant Sharma, RP Singh, Sreesanth and Munaf Patel - whose form has declined after heartening starts to their international careers. Dhoni felt that with more experience they would return to their best. "It is a difficult job, when it comes to fast bowling in the subcontinent," Dhoni said. "The wickets are placid in ODIs, the more exposure they get, the better they will get."
The Asia Cup will be Dhoni's first assignment since the disastrous World Twenty20 campaign in the Caribbean last month. There had been reports of coach Gary Kirsten giving the team a dressing down after three defeats in the Super Eights led to an early exit, but Dhoni played down the issue.
"Gary had individual sessions, it was not to bring anybody down or point anybody down," Dhoni said. "It is the normal procedure we have most likely after every series, it was nothing more than that."

India will struggle against Akhtar in absence of Sachin, Yuvraj in Asia Cup: Sohail Tanvir
ISLAMABAD: With no Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh in the batting line up, India is going to struggle against the pace of comeback man Shoaib Akhtar in the upcoming Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, believes Pakistan left arm pacer Sohail Tanvir.
“India will be without Sachin and Yuvraj while most of the others are recuperating from the losses against Zimbabwe. In such a scenario, it would not be easy dealing with Akhtar’s pace and variety,” The Daily Times quoted Tanvir, as telling a sports website.
While Tendulkar had opted out of the tournament to spend time with his family, Yuvraj was axed from the team following a string of poor performances in the recent past.
Describing Akhtar as a ‘fighter’, Tanvir played down past controversies surrounding the Rawalpindi Express, and said he expects the fast bowler to be a changed man.
“Look, whatever has happened in the past is history. I am sure you will get to see a different Akhtar in the Asia Cup. No matter how big a star any player is, comebacks are the same for all. Akhtar is a fighter,” he said.

1.3 142.3 kph, Hasta la vista baby! Full, pacy and the middle stump has been pegged back. It landed full in length, landed on the off and middle line and seamed in to go through the bat and pad gap. Clatter! Butt went neither forward or back and groped blindly outside the line. 0/1
7.3 Malinga follows the slower one with a bouncer that does the trick. It climbed rapidly on Umar Amin who went for the pull but was beaten by the pace. The top edge saw the ball swirling down towards Sangakkara who had to lunge out in the end to take it. Pakistan 11 for 2 and wobbling. 11/2

He became the second batsman in the history of one day games to score 50 plus sixes against a specific opposition.

39.2
Mathews to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, 79.2 mph, A hundred after nearly five years. One of the very best ODI tons. Ever. And a nice way to bring it up. It was a short-of-length delivery outside off and he opened the bat-face and cut it to backward point boundary. There was no violence it. Just like this innings. You might look at the strike rate and think he went berserk but he didn't. It was a special knock. He went after Murali with some calculated agression. Almost out-of-character innings. He has rarely shown this patience. Afridi last scored a century in 2005, against India in Kanpur.

malingaaa....malingaaa....malingaaa.... 
Malinga to Mohammad Asif, OUT, Would you believe it? Malinga had one delivery at Asif. Just one delivery. It was to be the end of his spell. And what does he do? He fires it on a length, it lands on the middle and it moves towards off and middle line. Asif didn't have the skill to cope with it. His back leg was moving towards leg even as he stabbed in thin air. Leather one wood. Clatter! Game over! Spare a thought for Shahid Afridi. What a great innings it was but he had to finish up on the losing side.
Mohammad Asif b Malinga 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Malinga to Shoaib Akhtar, OUT, 123.7 kph, What an awesome slower one delivery from Malinga! For sure, Shoaib wasn't expecting. He was probably thinking of a yorker. Even a bouncer. And there comes a lovely loopy dipping slower one. Shoaib is stunned, gets forward and just pushes out at it. Checks his shot. And the ball lobs towards mid-off. Malinga roars. And they are one. What a game this has been. What will happen now? Oh what drama. What a roller-coaster ride. What tension
Shoaib Akhtar c Mathews b Malinga 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Malinga to Mohammad Aamer, OUT, 139.2 kph, What a fabulicious delivery! too good for Aamer! It was full in length, landed on the off and middle and Aamer actually tried his best to defend it and get some bat on it. But the ball shaped away late to hit the off stump. Waqar Younis stares on from the dressing room. Nervous tension in that camp.
Mohammad Aamer b Malinga 5 (14b 0x4 0x6) SR: 35.71
Malinga to Umar Amin, OUT, 142.1 kph, Malinga follows the slower one with a bouncer that does the trick. It climbed rapidly on Umar Amin who went for the pull but was beaten by the pace. The top edge saw the ball swirling down towards Sangakkara who had to lunge out in the end to take it. Pakistan 11 for 2 and wobbling.
Umar Amin c †Sangakkara b Malinga 7 (26b 0x4 0x6) SR: 26.92
Malinga to Salman Butt, OUT, 142.3 kph, Hasta la vista baby! Full, pacy and the middle stump has been pegged back. It landed full in length, landed on the off and middle line and seamed in to go through the bat and pad gap. Clatter! Butt went neither forward or back and groped blindly outside the line.
Salman Butt b Malinga 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Mohammad Aamer to Harbhajan Singh, SIX, 128.5 kph, Bhajjiiiiiiiii! He has absolutely smoked this one. Gets a length he can get under, and hits it with the sweetest part of the bat, over midwicket. HUGE. And he roars, removes the helmet and roars. As soon as he sees he has hit it clean, he looks towards third man, where Shoaib is, and roars. It is a primal roar, what a blinder from Bhajji, Akhtar makes a V sign, and looks away. The whole team runs out to congratulate Bhaj, Raina is the first to hug him. Spare a thought for Aamer, he bowled really well until now

Excerpts from Dhoni's Interview (Source Cricinfo) - About Bhajji:
"Bhajji has always been a super hero, a larger than life figure. Whether it is Test match or one-dayers, Bhajji has always contributed runs whenever needed," Dhoni said. "But I think we should not call an allrounder and put pressure on him, and let him be the way that he is and allow him to contribute with the bat."

Karthik brought in as cover for injured Sehwag
India have flown in Dinesh Karthik as a stand-by player for injured Virender Sehwag as the visitors gear up for Tuesday's last league match of the Asia Cup against Sri Lanka .
The stumper batsman arrived in Dambulla on Monday morning as Sehwag pulled his right hamstring during the match against Pakistan on Saturday and is a doubtful starter.
"We flew in Karthik as a standby for Sehwag. But we will have to await the Asian Cricket council's clearance to play him in tomorrow's match against Sri Lanka," said Team India manager Ranjib Biswal.
If Sehwag is ruled out of the remainder of the Asia Cup, he will return home for treatment.

Hello and welcome to ODI No. 2999, and surprise surprise - it is India v Sri Lanka. Since January 2009, these two have faced off 17 times. Go back a litte further - since 2008, this spiffing battle between dark and darker blue has been played out a Bradmanesque 28 times. And this does not end - this is just a dress rehearsal for the final. And what's more, it won't be long before they play AGAIN in a tri-series in Sri Lanka. This has got to be the ICC's version of Chinese torture!

Zaheer got forward and poked without much conviction and the outside edge flew wide of Sangakkara, who dives to his right and plucked it.. Four in four for SL.. Maharoof who made an unexpected comeback for the Asia Cup is the man of the moment.
Z Khan c †Sangakkara b Maharoof 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Who would have thought.. India were sailing comfortably with Dhoni and Rohit scoring at will.,. A sudden run-out and things have changed drastically.. Once again, Rohit's running between the wickets will be questioned.. So too Jadeja's inability to hold his own with bat. Hat-trick ball coming up.
38.2
Maharoof to Kumar, OUT, 82.2 mph, Team hat-trick! Maharoof has gone past Praveen Kumar first ball, as he looked to play a nothing-shot to a ball not too short and far too close to off stump. The inside edge falls on the stumps and Maharoof is now on a hat-trick all of his own!
P Kumar b Maharoof 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Praveen Kumar comes in,
38.1
Maharoof to Jadeja, OUT, 82.9 mph, and he's gone first ball, playing all around a straight ball like a deer caught in the headlights! Jadeja walked across to the off stump for some reason and missed a ball headed for middle stump. India have lost two in two.
RA Jadeja lbw b Maharoof 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
37.6
Herath to Dhoni, OUT, 50.8 mph, wicket against the run of play, and a huge one! Dhoni is run out. Tapped with soft hands straight to point, and Rohit calls Dhoni across for a tight single.. he hares down to the non-striker's end but is beaten easily by Kapugedera, swooping in from point and letting rip an arrow-throw to the non-striker's end.
MS Dhoni run out 41 (53b 6x4 0x6) SR: 77.35

In the last two years India has won 14 of their 25 encounters against Lanka which means 14/25 = 0.56*100 = 56%. Going by this probablity theory India will win, but they have won just 1 out of 2 tournament finals of 50% chance. So its going to be a nail biting finals.

Sourav,
SR and avg doesn't tell the whole story. Apart from a 4 wicket haul against SL and a 61 in the last series, I can't think of any meaningful contributions from him. If he is played as a bowler, I don't think he would be critcised like now. All rounder is too much a tag for him and he certainly doesn't have it to be a no.7 batsman.

Dhoni.http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-F...e1-562003.aspx
India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, on Wednesday, said Ravindra Jadeja has the potential to evolve into a genuine all-rounder but the youngster needs to contribute more with the bat.
Jadeja, who was dismissed for a first-ball duck in last night's league match against Sri Lanka, has mostly contributed with the ball. But Dhoni wants him to show some spark with the bat as well as he feels Jadeja was picked primarily as a batting all-rounder.
"Jadeja needs to contribute more with bat. When he came into the team he was more of a batsman who could bowl. But now he has turned into more of a specialist bowler. He bowls at the death, he bowls in the power plays. So, I think he is the best potential we can turn into an all-rounder," Dhoni said ahead of Thursday's final in which India play Sri Lanka.
The wicketkeeper-batsman said not having an in-form all-rounder was a concern. "The lack of an all-rounder is a big concern. If you want to play with five bowlers then one or two of them need to bat. Jadeja has got the potential. He has done well in the IPL and domestic games. Now, he has got fair amount of chances in international level also and we are hoping that he clicks," Dhoni said.
"He has done well in the bowling department and can even be called a specialist bowler. We hope that he stands out with his batting performance because he is the kind of guy who can give you stability at number six or seven. There are not many players that you can fill the spot right now," he added.

Pls do read below
He has developed into Sri Lanka's fastest Test bowler and a regular member of both their Test and One Day International sides. He has earned a reputation for troubling batsmen with his lively pace and well-directed bouncer. He regularly bowls at speeds between 140 and 150 km/h (87 to 93 mph) and sometimes slightly faster. As time went by he started to loose pace clocking around 130 to 140 km/h. His slower off cutter was also menacing. He burst onto the test scene after ripping through the New Zealand top order, helping Sri Lanka draw the test series on their 2006/07 tour of New Zealand.

He can bowl 140+ easily, but generally he stays around 135 Ks. Paramasivan was claiming Malinga is a 145 K bowler which puts him in the league of Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar, Shane Bond which is not quite true.

40.6
Malinga to Raina, OUT, 91.3 mph, Lasith Malinga take a bow. What a ball! He was firing bounces so far. And then slips in the yorker. The oldest two-card trick. Raina was on the hop and he couldn't get his bat in line of the delivery. Dead duck.
SK Raina lbw b Malinga 29 (31b 3x4 0x6) SR: 93.54
40.5
Malinga to Raina, no run, 89.4 mph, short in length around off and Raina jumps, realises it doesn't bounce and comes down to defend

Kulasekara to Jadeja, 1 run, 129.3 kph, Jadeja's run out missed Low full toss outside off and sliced straight to backward point. Jadeja is turned back by his partner and he gives up the ghost. But the throw is wide of the mark. I didn't catch the sight of the fielder. Hopefully, replays will be shown. They then take the single for the overthrow

"The guys put in a lot of effort in terms of fitness and skill. This is a ideal reflection of that. Nice to win the Asia cup. We were happy to get 270 runs. We wanted to get DIlshan out quickly and the bowlers bowled really well. Zaheer .. Nehra. Once you are in a final and if you dont' win then what you did before that (in the tournament) doesn't matter. I expected that pitch will do a bit later. I know my bowlers. So i decided to bat.

Kalyan,
We have this grouse against Dhoni for quite sometime. He had openly critcized bowlers in lot of post match speeches. Sachin patthi solladhadhai vidunga. Sachin doesn't gain or lose anything from that. Karthik has always been the replacement player and has given his 100%. Oru naalu vaarthai paaratti edhavadhu sonna, avanukkum oru encouragement-dhane
When Dhoni is praised for his man management skills, this is indeed surprising.

From: jinju on 25th June 2010 11:16 AM [Full View]
i think Plum put it pretty nicely...i've also observed whenever there's an option, Karthik has been given a chance, many a times i've felt why another chance inspite of his not so great performances...that he is a will-do-anything kind of team man is a certified fact! so i think dinesh karthik should be the last person to complain of a bias against him!
19thmay, LM, regarding this 'venum-ne marandhurupaaru' business, adhu oru kind of management technique...indha "i am a yuvraj fan" "jadeja has potential. should do better in batting." idhellaam prodding thevayaana individuals, so they need to be mentioned here and there even if not required...to boost their egos, sometimes inflated and sometimes deflated! as it is, a dravid, tendulkar, sehwag, and all doesn't need this kind of public appraisal but primadonnas lyk yuvi, zak and lazy bums lyk nehra need otherwise, even viru needs at times and dhoni tackles that also well i've seen just lyk dada used to...it's purposely sometimes i say, and for the better!
sachin, dravid, and the kumble likes know what value they add to the team and what they mean to the captain...do we see/hear what dhoni told to dinesh after that innings he played or for that matter sachin's 175 tho he publicly may have skipped to mention? so y conjure up conspiracy theories? free free freeya vidunga...

You can't really compare strike rates of an opening batsman and middle order batsman. Jadeja and Rohit were too much prodding around during the last 10 overs with no intent of scoring fast. Avangalai paarattinadhan thappu. Originally Posted by VinodKumar's

LM, the pitch was not that great for strokeplay which is evident by the fact that almost every batter struggled to hit big shots, and the bowlers of both sides did well...so not much blame can be laid on jadeja/rohit or others...in fact, should b thankful in many ways that we didn't have the same scenario as in the last match, all out for 220 odd with ovs to play...

Even Tiwary can't be a replacement opener. Karthik is the only choice. So we can't say Karthik playing in XI is a direct result of Dhoni's faith in him. Originally Posted by Plum
Then again, I heard from a CSK insider that Dhoni and Karthik share a good rapport.

Sehwag is our best off-spinner: Bedi
Mumbai: Former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi said that Virender Sehwag, is the best off-spinner in the Indian team.
“I think Sehwag is probably the best off-spinner in the Indian team. He has a clean action and also spins the ball,” said Bedi indirectly taking a dig at star spinner Harbhajan Singh’s action.
“I think every team has at least 2-3 chuckers. It makes me sick to see somebody bowling a dart ball at 90 kmphs per hour and running around the ground in celebration,” Bedi said at the second Dilip Sardesai Memorial Lecture here on Saturday.

An element of doubt always will remain that he was not a genuine bowler . That extra rotation illegally permitted had given him advantage. Most noof matches inside Srilanka.
Murali was not that successful in Australia.
Despite all these, taking so many wickets is indeed remarkable.

If the umpire is not convinced about the legality of a delivery then it is a chuck. IMO Murali is a chucker. So is Shoaib Akthar.
We can, like the ICC, quote geometric rules. But it is fairly obvious to anyone who wants to see, that there is significant advantage one can gain from such an action. Try bowling in your backyard that way with a loose wrist and bent elbow and the extent of turn one can get is far far more. Of course, even with this it takes a lot of effort to get the control that Murali gets. One cannot take credit away from him for that. But one cannot deny the advantage that proceeds from the action.
And finally it is not as if he can't help bowling the way he does (which is the argument that everyone propounds). Check out this video of Murali bowling leg breaks with a straight arm

Unfinished business despite the overkill
Sidharth Monga
July 11, 2010
So India and Sri Lanka are playing again? Should the world care? Why, every other match of theirs is against each other. And they have played the other in at least five tournaments since saturation point was hit. Don't the players get bored?
When Yuvraj Singh was picked for this Test series, about two weeks after he had been given a wake-up-call drop from the one-day side, India had just finished facing Sri Lanka in their seventh ODI assignment (three of them bilateral series) in two years. The first remark in the story's comments section on Cricinfo had nothing to say about the selectors' choices. "Is it possible for us to play ANY OTHER TEAM OTHER THAN SRI LANKA FOR GOD'S SAKE???????" the reader asked. Soon more readers from both countries joined in, asking for a closure.
The Ashes, the oldest rivalry in cricket, was contested in 2009 in England, will be played in 2010-11 in Australia, and then again in 2013 in England, a cycle it has always followed. The cricket seasons in both countries are not the same, else the Ashes would be a biennial event. At any rate, despite the seasonal idiosyncrasies, there are only two Ashes series every four years.
India, though, went to Sri Lanka in 2008, hosted them in 2009-10, and are going there again in 2010. Two Test series in two years may be an FTP vagary but three in three, to go with countless ODI series, just shows the ICC is irrelevant, and the two boards are inconsiderate towards the fans.
At the end of this tunnel, though, the players involved shine a bright light on at least the coming Test series. When asked if they are not tired of playing Sri Lanka, one of India's team said, "No. Not this time. This time we have things to correct." And there are a few things to correct.
For starters, how can this Indian team claim to be the undisputed best in the world without having won Test series in Sri Lanka, South Africa and Australia? They had their chance in 2008 to cross off Sri Lanka, but they were stopped in a series that should fall closely behind India v Australia 2000-01 and Ashes 2005 for consistently gripping Test cricket in the last decade. One of the main themes of Test cricket is redemption - a chance in the second innings. This will be India's second innings: the start of a journey, they will hope, from ICC's No. 1 to the undisputed best.
It is also a second innings for arguably the best middle order of our time. None of India's batting line-ups has perhaps been as devastated by a spin attack as the Fab Four, as it were, was by Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis in 2008. The same middle order sans Sourav Ganguly will be facing a team with the same name, but Murali will leave after the Galle Test, and Mendis, who isn't in the squad for the first Test at least, is not the same bowler anymore. Will the payback, if India do manage it, be just as sweet?
The Indians, however, are not the only ones looking for payback. When Sri Lanka came to India last year they were the No. 2 Test team in the world but the 2-0 defeat in a series, which wasn't even a patch on the first one, exposed them brutally. Freshly reinforced was the fact that they are yet to win a Test match, leave alone a series, in India, South Africa and Australia.
Murali has rarely been beaten into submission by a batsman as he was by Virender Sehwag in Galle and in Mumbai. More than the defeats, it was the hapless nature of it all that would have hurt Sri Lanka. Always dangerous in Sri Lanka, where the hot and humid weather teams up with them, the hosts will have more than just payback on their minds.
The best way to alert the cricket world, a small entity really, about unbalanced schedules is to topple the No. 1 side from its perch. One of the three countries Sri Lanka are yet to win a Test in, South Africa, last hosted them in 2002. This year, the No. 4 side in the world, a team used to making at least the semi-finals of major ICC events, was left without an opponent to host in its home season.
The BCCI, who played an important role in the cancellation of Sri Lanka's tour to England last year, has chipped in and converted its team's one-day tour to a full Test assignment, thus exposing what promised to be a delicious Test rivalry - on the evidence of 2008 - to the same fate as the ODIs between the two teams.
Given the thin bowling line-ups (India don't have Zaheer Khan, and their second spinner is yet to cement his place in the side), this series threatens to revive the not-so-glorious days of the nineties, when one set of these batsmen batted and batted, and the other batted some more. This series is not only a challenge for the bowlers, but also the pitches. The 2000s, with the rise and rise of Murali, gave Sri Lanka the confidence to create result pitches. The contrast was stark: Sri Lanka hosted 20 draws out of 42 before 2000, and only 11 out of 54 since, a result rate behind only that of Australia and South Africa. Will Murali's retirement affect the groundsmen too?
While there is overkill, this is also the contest that has featured the best innings of the last two years - both from Sehwag. Bowling performances from Harbhajan Singh, Mendis, Murali and Sreesanth were among the best in their respective years too. This series will need everything, from weather to bowlers to pitches, to preserve interest in Tests between the two teams. And unlike the limited-over matches, which have perhaps been damaged beyond repair, Tests between India and Sri Lanka still have a lot worth preserving.

As the Indian team got down to business during a three-hour practice session at the R Premadasa Stadium, players started pulling MS Dhoni’s leg. As the wicketkeeper-batsman returned to the temporary enclosure after having a hit in the nets, one of the senior players took a jibe at him. “Tune bulaya
kyon nahi shaadi me?,” he asked, prompting a bout of laughter from rest of the group.
Even if the skipper throws a grand wedding party for his teammates, they aren’t going to spare him the taunts.
Witty Viru
Virender Sehwag was at his jovial best in the nets. After being softened up by Ishant Sharma, who was bowling at his best, and crashing his bat on his toe while attempting an on-drive, the ferocious batsman started humming: “Aaj ka din hi kharaab hai.”
When complimented by coach Gary Kirsten for his stand and deliver off drive while taking throw-downs, he replied:
“See, I keep telling you that I can hit even good balls with ease.” And when Sachin Tendulkar preferred to take Kirsten’s throw-downs instead of heading to the pacer’s net, Sehwag was again at it. “Yahaan aao paaji, Ishant to chala gaya.”
Now, that must have pleased Ishant no end.

SL Pres. XI v Indians at Colombo (Colts)
Jul 13-15, 2010 (10:00 local, 04:30 GMT)
Sri Lanka Board President's XI v Indians, Colombo
Bowlers the focus in tour opener
Sidharth Monga in Colombo
July 12, 2010
Colts Cricket Club Ground is an idyllic, old-fashioned cricket ground, surrounded by trees, in Havelock Town in Colombo 5. A late replacement for the Nondescripts Cricket Club, the Colts Ground was slated to host what is usually a quaint tour game to kick off India's tour, but the game has now become almost a Test trial for both sides.
India have run into fitness issues, with Zaheer Khan and Sreesanth injured and Harbhajan Singh down with fever. Sri Lanka have chosen a strong Board President's XI side, with six members from the Test squad looking to impress the team management. Ajantha Mendis, not in the squad for the first Test, has been given an opportunity too.
The Indian XI is now wide open. If Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and M Vijay get picked for the tour game, a really impressive show from any one of them against an attack featuring Dilhara Fernando, Chanaka Welegedara and Mendis could seal him the No. 6 spot for the Galle Test.
More interesting and desperate is the bowling department. With Zaheer and Sreesanth now out, Abhimanyu Mithun will be backing himself for the Test pace attack along with Ishant Sharma. Mithun, though, will look for a solid performance against the likes of Thilan Samaraweera, Upul Tharanga and Lahiru Thirimanne to make sure that Sreesanth's replacement, to be named some time on Monday, doesn't overtake him in the preference for the Test slot.
Amit Mishra and Pragyan Ojha have for long been taking turns to assist Harbhajan in the spin department, but neither of them has impressed the selectors enough to become a definite starter. With Harbhajan still recovering from the fever and yet to attend a training session, both of them are likely to get a chance to stake claims for the Test spot.
Sri Lanka, too, have an uncertain bowling line-up, especially the pace department. While Muttiah Muralitharan is a definite starter, Galle being his last Test, either of Rangana Herath or Suraj Randiv will form the spin duo. Among the fast bowlers, though, any two of Lasith Malinga, Dammika Prasad, Fernando and Welegedara can be picked in the XI.
Two of them, Fernando and Welegedara, will get a chance in Colombo to send notice to the captain and the coach. That two of them have been asked to show their form in the tour game could suggest that Malinga and Prasad have a lead over them, but a five-for against a near-Test side can never hurt.
Most interesting, though, will be how Mendis bowls. He will be up against the same batting line-up that he tortured two years ago; the same batsmen have been torturing him since. He knows there will be a vacancy with Murali retiring after the first Test. He also knows he needs to convince them that he is the man to fill it. Mendis will be bowling to get his Test career back on track, to the same set of blokes who launched his career in the first place.

Injured Sreesanth to return home, Munaf named as replacement
Following Zaheer Khan's withdrawal, the Indian squad in Sri Lanka has been hit by another injury crisis with fast bowler Sreesanth returning home due to a knee injury. He suffered a medial collateral ligament tear in his left knee and has been declared unfit to take part in the Tests. Munaf Patel, who last made an international appearance in November 2009, has been named his replacement.
Sreesanth's availability was in doubt yesterday when he missed the team's first net session on tour. His team-mate Harbhajan Singh too missed practice as he was down with fever. Though India flew down two rookie bowlers in Umesh Yadav and Jaidev Unadkat to practice with the team, the team management has anyway decided to to call in Munaf for Sreesanth.
Munaf and Abhimanyu Mithun, who replaced Zaheer, are likely to compete for a place in the XI as Ishant Sharma's seam bowling partner for the first Test starting July 18. Earlier, Zaheer pulled out of the tour due to a shoulder injury. The loss of the seam duo will stretch India's fast bowling reserves even further because that's the one department in which they have been found wanting in recent months.

Batting line up look solid as usual, Raina should play! but am sure that Yuvraj will be playing replacing Raina in my squad

Gambhir
Sehwag
Dravid
Sachin
Laxman
Raina
Dhoni
Bhajji
Mishra
Ishant
Munaf

Sri Lanka has been dismissed all out for a total of less than 150 runs on five occasions, while India has been dismissed for a total of less than 150 runs only once. Sri Lanka’s 82 at Chandigarh in Nov 90 is its lowest total in a completed innings, while India’s lowest total is 138 at Col-SSC in Jul 2008
The series has witnessed six batsmen scoring 1000 runs. The batsmen who have accomplished the feat are – SR Tendulkar of India {1605}, DPMD Jayawardene of Sri Lanka {1534}, R Dravid of India {1413}, PA de Silva of Sri Lanka {1252}, M Azharuddin of India {1215} and SC Ganguly of India {1064}

SL v Ind: What to expect!
Bangalore, Fri, Jul 16 2010 , by Srivathsa
As India gets ready to face Sri Lanka for the millionth time (Even God would not know the count) in any format over the last couple of years, here are a few interesting things that may catch your attention over the next couple of weeks.
A legend departs the game: A true legend, Muttiah Muralitharan, will play his last ever Test match at Galle, thus bringing to an end one of the most celebrated and also much talked about careers. It may seem ironic that he needs 8 wickets to get to the 800 mark, considering the fact the man has revelled in the numbers game. But no one will grudge or raise a voice even if he fails to reach that mark during the opening test for he has achieved everything on the field - a fact he himself admitted a couple of days back.
Already the Lankan cricket board has planned a grand farewell at Galle for the 'smiling assasin' from Kandy and lots of emotions will be on display over the course of the test match. It may act as a double-edged sword for it could spur him on or else disturb his usual predatory wicket taking instincts. Either way it will be a momentous occasion for those all present to see the magician for one last time in his 'Whites'.
PS: The opposition always fancies India when it comes to creating records, so India would be desperate to deny Murali his 8 wickets.
The Umpire Decision Review System(UDRS): When India toured Sri Lanka in 2008 for a 3 match Test series, the UDRS was used for the first time involving the two countries. Sri Lanka used it to their advantage as they successfully challenged 11 decisions as opposed to India's one. India did not seem to get a hang of the system as they unwisely challenged plumb LBW decisions and obvious dismissals which went against them, only to waste their referrals. Anil Kumble, who was the skipper then did not hide his disappointment at the system.
Fast forward to 2010 - again Sri Lanka are hosting India in a test series and the UDRS has been dispensed with: the reason, India's refusal to use it which only angered Sangakkara who has called on the ICC to make the system mandatory for all test series. So without the controversial system the decision making is back in the hands of the 2 men in the middle and it remains to be seen whether the outcome of the series would be affected in anyway by the absence of the UDRS.
Sachin's shot at a rare feat: Sachin Tendulkar has achieved many records, if not most of them during his long and chequered career. But a rare statistical feat is within sight: He now has 4 consecutive test match hundreds in his last 4 matches - surprisingly this is the first time he has managed to do so - and he is just 2 short of equalling the great Sir Don Bradman who had 6 consecutive tons. If Sachin manages to equal or break the feat then it would add another quiver to his already burgeoning bow. After taking a well deserved break post the IPL, Sachin would be mentally and physically recharged to go. Assuming Sachin goes on to break Sir Don's record by getting 3 tons in the 3 match series, he will get the added bonus of reaching the 50 ton mark in test matches.
India's famed middle order's chance at redemption: 215, 148, 96 and 95 - which all add up to 554 runs in a total of 24 innings - made by the famed four of VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar in the last series between the two sides in the Emerald Isles. It was a woeful series for all the 4 men as they failed to pick the mysteries of Ajantha Mendis and Muttiah Muralitharan. Mendis caused mayhem by picking up 26 wickets, including the scalps of Dravid (4 times) and Laxman (5 times). Mendis, surprisingly has not been picked for this series, although he could yet make an appearance from the 2nd test as Murali is retiring after the first one.
Mendis took 6/67 in the tour game preceding the first test and looks to be in good form. With this tour most likely to be the last in Sri Lanka for Dravid, Sachin and VVS (dont rule out the possibility just yet considering BCCI's affinity towards the Lankan board) it is a chance to settle some past scores and make amends for the poor show last time around. Expect the 3 to be far more vigilant and circumspect when tackling the spinners.
The Sehwag effect: Virender Sehwag, according to Ian Chappell is the most dangerous batsman in the world at the moment. You dont need Chappell to confirm that fact, just ask Sri Lanka. The last time they toured India, Sehwag tore into them with a swash-buckling 293 at the Brabourne stadium. He ended the series with a mammoth 491 runs off just 454 balls from his 4 innings at a strike-rate of 108.14. Sehwag was the highest scorer too when India lost the series here back in 2008. His unbeaten 201 at Galle set up India's victory and he seemed to be the only man who could pick both Mendis and Murali and counter them as well. When he gets away to a start he invariably makes huge scores which in turn gives the middle order the liberty to bat in their comfort zones. Sehwag, could well be the man who could prove to be the difference between the two sides this time. Another interesting fact is that Sehwag likes batting against Sri Lanka: in his 8 matches he has made 891 runs with 3 hundreds at an average of 74.25.
Lively pitches or dead dodos?: In the nineties, test matches between India and Sri Lanka was all about winning the toss, piling up a huge score and then declare. On more than one ocassion the team batting first would bat on for more than two-and-a-half days knowing fully well that a result was not possible. The opposition would return the favor by batting out the rest of the game leaving two innings of the match incomplete. But things have changed in the new millenium with 40 results being produced in the 50 matches that were played from July 2000 with only 10 draws. That is 80% of the games played in Lanka have yielded a result - which is more to do with teams playing aggressively and trying to force a result. The pitches too come into the equation as lot of them have been sporting promoting an even contest between bat and ball.
Will the story be any different this time around? Let's hope that the pitches dont turn out to be dead where teams bat on and on, boring people to death and indirectly killing the viewer interest in test cricket - which is desperate to retain it's pre-eminent status amidst the advent of the immensely popular T20s. If the pitches resemble something like the ones we witnessed back in 2008, then we are in for a rip-roaring test series.
India's bowling resources will be tested: No Zaheer Khan, who has been India's best bowler by a mile in the test matches for India over the last 2-3 years. OK, Sreesanth will make up for it and Ishant will overcome his demons by leading the attack. Sreesanth gets injured after bowling just 6 balls in the warm- ups and he is ruled out of the series. India's already depleted seam bowling attack now reads Ishant Sharma, Abhimanyu Mithun and Munaf Patel to share the work load with Jaydev Unadkat and Umesh Yadav waiting in the wings.
That is a combined experience of 35 matches with Mithun, Unadkat and Yadav yet to make their debuts. Ishant Sharma has struggled to make an impact after a stellar debut season and suddenly the mantle of the spearhead is thrust on his young shoulders. How he guides a relatively young and inexperienced seam attack will determine the strength of the back-up fast bowling resources in the country. India would once again have to rely on Harbhajan to do the bulk of the bowling and expect to take the Lion's share of the wickets as well. At least he has Pragyan Ojha and Mishra, both fine spinners to complement him. If India have to hang on to their top spot in the test rankings then this series could well answer a few questions about India's bowling resources.

Dhoni expects fireworks from fit-again Sehwag
PTI, Jul 17, 2010, 04.49pm IST
GALLE (Sri Lanka): Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Saturday said fit-again opener Virender Sehwag's form would be crucial as the visitors aim for a Test series triumph in Sri Lanka for the first time in 17 years.
India will take on the islanders in the first of a three-match series from Sunday and Dhoni said a lot would depend on how Sehwag performs.
"Of course Sehwag is a great batsman. He is the one who will open the account for us. The way he bats, if he can bat for one or one and a half session, more often than not he crosses the century mark," Dhoni said about the dashing right-hander, who is returning to the side after recovering from a hamstring injury.
"It will be great to have him going. We have Gautam Gambhir and other batsmen who have the potential to score big. Of course, start is important for us. But there is no pressure on Sehwag," he told a pre-match press conference.
Dhoni said ever since the Twenty20 World debacle, the Indian team has been working hard on aspects like fitness.
"It is quite difficult to change all of a sudden. Every player has made a conscious attempt to change a bit of everything. Everyone has put in a bit of effort in training because that is important," he said.
"We are trying to reduce the amount of things that we have and we are having what is really good for us. It has been working," he added.
Asked about India's chances in the match, Dhoni said Sri Lanka start favourites because of the home advantage.
"We will try our best. We have to give in more than 100 per cent in the series because the conditions are more in favour of Sri Lankan team. They know the home conditions better than us," he explained.
"At the same time, it will be a good exposure for the youngsters who are a part of the side. It will just add to their exposure and their experience. Overall, it would be good for Indian cricket in the long run," he added.
Dhoni hoped that off-colour pacer Ishant Sharma would come good in the series.
"Ishant Sharma and Mithun (Abhimanyu) are bowling well. If you are a good Test match bowler, you have to vary your length. I think Ishant has come back in the past when he has played in India or Australia. A lot depends on the kind of wickets you are getting and what time of the day you are good," he said.
On the Lankan spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan who would retire after the match, Dhoni said he only has fond memories of playing against him in national colours and playing with him in the Indian Premier League.
"I started cricket quite late. But off the field I can say Murali is good to have in the dressing room. He is a great guy. I think there are more memories off the field than on the field because I really don't talk much on the field.
"We have played quite a few series against each other. Of late we have been playing virtually every year against Sri Lanka," he said.

Mithun to Dilshan, OUT, Mithun has struck! Dilshan is gone! Very well-directed bouncer, angling in from off to leg, Dilshan is hurried into the pull and can only get an edge through to Dhoni. Lots of effort put into the ball, and as it happens so often, a wicket immediately after drinks. First Test wicket for Mithun and he deserved it. He's bowled exceptionally well to Dilshan all morning.

I think Ishant's lethargy is costing him dear. He still thinks his performance in Australia will keep his place secure in the team. Few months back, there were reports that he refused to bowl in a Ranji trophy match without any reason.

I could never plan against him'Virender Sehwag takes his hat off to a bowler he was never quite able to figure out how to play comfortably

I will miss facing Murali. He is the most difficult bowler I played against. I am happy that I don't have to face him again, but at the same time I am disappointed he will not be around anymore in Test cricket.
He was difficult because I could never plan against him. I would try to watch his hand, and if I could pick him, I would play. Otherwise I would watch the ball closely to try to get an idea of the type of delivery he had bowled.
The first time I faced him, in the tri-series in 2001, was a nightmare because I could hardly pick any of his variations. At times he would spin it at right angles, making my job nearly impossible. I tried to play him defensively and cash in against the other bowlers, because I was never comfortable against Murali. That's something that never changed.
One of the reasons I could never prepare against him was because he varied his pace smartly. In that tri-series, my original plan to combat him was to dominate, try and hit some sixes. But he figured that out and had me caught easily at long-off. Then in the 2003 World Cup, when I was batting well on 66, I hit him over midwicket without picking the doosra and was caught at long-on. There were so many occasions like that when I was confused about whether it was his offbreak or the doosra, and didn't have the time to adjust my body position or my mind to play accordingly. That is how he controlled me.
He would never give you any easy balls; you had to remain patient and improve your skills. He would be quick first up, then he would introduce the doosra, then he would suddenly bowl a really slow ball.
He was always at you, keeping you guessing. Over the years I learnt I needed to be patient. I think that helped me get those three centuries I made against Sri Lanka in the last three years - a double-century in Galle, a century in Kanpur and another double in Mumbai, last December - though I must admit his pace and spin were not as lethal in those matches as they were when I played him for the first time. In a way, those hundreds sort of offset the troubles I had against him previously.
Though I've managed to make some runs against him, I could never pick his doosra. It might sound strange but I can pick that delivery off any other spinner, but with Murali I was stumped. In the 2008 Galle Test, I decided to treat every ball as if it was a doosra and play it towards cover. I didn't hit the ball hard, just used timing to direct it towards cover. Along with that, I waited for loose balls to play shots on the back foot.
Murali doesn't spin the ball so much any more. It's hard to believe this was the same man who could, at one time, pitch it well outside off and get the ball to hit the stumps. That changed when he began bowling a lot of doosras and straighter ones; they probably affected his turn. Yet the doubt remains in my mind. Tomorrow if I walk out, I cannot say for certain that I will score against Murali. I can say that for other bowlers. And that applies through a match: against other bowlers, I usually find it easy to score over a period, but with Murali it did not matter if I was on 0, 10 or 100 - he was always a challenge.
'Tomorrow, if I walk out, I cannot say for certain that I will score against Murali' © AFP
I don't think any bowler likes to show his hand to a batsman, especially to one like me. But Murali is a very good friend. I don't know if he was joking or being serious but he once told me he did not bowl slower deliveries to me because he believed I would hit him out of the ground. He bowled quick so as to not allow me much time to hit or pick the doosras from the offbreaks. It was nice of him to say that. He knows I like to dominate bowlers, but he was equally dominating.
The first thing a young spinner could learn from Murali is a lesson in humility. His patience was also amazing. He told me sometimes he had to bowl 40-50 overs to get a five-for and at times he got it in just 15 overs. To excel at the highest level, you have to be able to exercise patience and have a strong character. That is the best thing anyone can learn from Murali.
I was lucky to be alongside him in the World XI team that played Australia a few years ago. It only confirmed my opinion of him. His best quality is his simplicity. He is down-to-earth; he doesn't make you feel he is a world record-holder. He always makes you feel comfortable in his company. On the field I've never seen him get aggressive or yell at anyone. He always challenged the batsman in a nice manner and motivated his team with a smile and through hard work. Even for an opponent, he was a shining example.

From 86* look how he crept up to 103*
Welegedara to Sehwag, FOUR, punched away so easily off the back foot, just a gentle movement back, follows the direction of the ball which was outside off and he punches it in front of cover, wide of deep pointWelegedara to Sehwag, 1 run, stays back and punches this behind square on the off side and there's a sweeper cover in placeWelegedara to Sehwag, FOUR, and Sehwag reduces them to spectators! Long hop outside off and he reaches forward and scoops it over the vacant region at cover, 50 stand upMathews to Sehwag, FOUR, he brings up the upper cut! Expected the short one and he bends his back slightly and runs it miles over slipMathews to Sehwag, FOUR, gets to his century with a streaky shot! Drives away from the body and gets an inside edge past the stumps to fine leg, yet another blitzy ton from him, his 20th

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s world bowling record holder Muttiah Muralitharan will retire from Test cricket later this month, but may play one-day matches until the World Cup, officials said on Tuesday.
“Muttiah Muralitharan has decided to retire from Test cricket after the first Test in Galle versus India commencing July 18,” Sri Lanka Cricket said on its website.
The off-spinner, 38, affectionately known as Murali, is the most successful bowler in history with record hauls in both Test (792) and one-day (515) cricket.
Reports said Muralitharan preferred not to wait until the end of the three Test matches against India because he was unsure of being able to manage the workload of an entire series.
Sri Lanka Cricket said Muralitharan had the blessing of President Mahinda Rajapakse to retire early, although the bowler had previously said he wanted to continue until the home series against the West Indies in November.
Muralitharan will, however, continue to make himself available for one-day matches and hopes to play in the 2011 World Cup if needed, his manager Kushil Gunasekara told AFP.
The premier limited-overs tournament will be hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in February-April next year.
“He will be selective in choosing one-day matches,” Gunasekara said. “His main aim is to give way to young players to come up. But if the selectors want him to play in the World Cup, he will probably be available for that.”
Gunasekara, said the star spinner had decided to take early retirement from Test cricket as he was unable to keep up with the demands of the longer form of the game.
“He decided to fast track his decision because he realised that his body could not take the vigorous kind of physical demands of a five-day match,”Gunasekara said.
“The best time to go is when you know that you can’t do it the way you did before. Everything in life has an expiry date.”
Muralitharan, who made his Test debut against Australia in 1992, was a member of Sri Lanka’s World Cup winning team in 1996.
His 18-year career was marred by controversy due to his bent-arm action — the result of an elbow deformity since birth — which helped him impart considerable turn and bounce even on the most placid wickets.
The unusual action sparked uproar in the cricket world, especially in Australia where umpires no-balled him for throwing and former prime minister John Howard once called him a “chucker”.
Muralitharan’s action first came under the microscope when Australian umpire Darrel Hair called him for throwing during Sri Lanka’s tour Down Under in 1995-96.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) recommended a bio-mechanical analysis at the University of Western Australia and concluded that his action created the “optical illusion of throwing”.
He was called again during a later tour of Australia in 1998-99 but was subsequently cleared after further tests.
The prolific Muralitharan claimed five wickets in a Test innings an astonishing 66 times and 10 wickets in a match 22 times.

No, he is there for ODIs and IPL. Ranatunga had slammed him saying that he should have retired from ODIs and continued to play Tests until he gets 1000 test wickets. Infact, that was my wish, too. Getting tonked around by Rohits and Yusufs in IPL hardly befits his stature.
On an unrelated note, Mahela has 152 catches in tests
Whatever record on catches that Rahul Dravid sets, I think Mahela will overtake before he retires!

Since the turn of the millennium, only two hundreds have been scored in Tests in Sri Lanka by Indian batsmen. Both have come from the same man, Virender Sehwag. Between them, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman haven’t scored a ton on Sri Lankan soil since February 1999; indeed, Laxman has never topped three figures in five previous Tests in this country. Hope they score a ton in this series.

Sharma to Dilshan, FOUR, Whack! Shortish and outside off and Dilshan carves it to the point boundary. The ball boy stops the ball and throws it back.
3.5
Sharma to Dilshan, FOUR, Three in a row. Dilshan the rockstar. It was a short-of-length on the middle. yes on the middle. He waited on the back foot and just wristed it through midwicket.
3.4
Sharma to Dilshan, FOUR, fuller, on the middle and leg, Dilshan works this through midwicket. He clips it superbly in fact. Fine timing
3.3
Sharma to Dilshan, FOUR, 86.3 mph, What a fabulicious hit. It was a back-of-length delivery around off. Dilshan leaned forward and just thumped it on the up and between mid-off and extra cover. Awesomeo!

There is only one thing to do now. SL is bound to declare before EOD today. Once SL declare, bat all 3 days - if a lineup with Laxman, Dravid, Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dhoni cannot do it, nobody else can.
From cricinfo:
Yeah, same pinch here. I got to know about sachin's 200 after the second innings was well under way.innikku ball by ball commentary paarkara aLavukku freeyA irukku. enna vaazhkaiyO kodumai!Ragu Chaitanya: "Why is that I am so free and with no work when Sri Lanka is piling agony on Indian bowlers?

Indian bowlers have bowled only 5 no balls and 2 wides in 159.4 overs,
SL bowlers have bowled 5 no balls and 1 wide in 11.5 overs.
Arent our bowlers better?

LM, see the sentence in bold. nAnum adhaiyE dhAn solrEn. It's all about our bowling. Good bowlers are able to do well in Sri Lanka - like Pakistan did; like Murali did. This is why even top batsmen from India collapse to innings defeat - in that sense, it is creditable of Sri Lankan batsmen to do well even on these pitches. Originally Posted by littlemaster1982

On another note, one of the complaints Murali baiters have is that he played on spin-friendly Sri Lankan pitches more hence he got an advantage over Warne. Yet, when it comes to SL batsmen, we say that they played on batsmen-friendly pitches in SL so they did well. Which of these two is true? Only one of them can be.

When there is a need if you try and succeed you will appreciated irrespective of the result but when there is no need you cannot expect to cover the failure with the previous successes.

LM, this is not the first time Indian team is collapsing in Lanka. This has been happening majorly over the last two tours(including this one) and as you know, no one has scored even a century in 10 years other than Sehwag in Lanka. This cannot be dismissed as a minor flaw.

The pitch is still a dead one. The SL bowlers didnt do much but our batsmen gifted their wickets. I still reiterate that if test cricket is played in such pitches, then the coffin can be ordered.

Still, Mahela can play for another 5 years easily - which means atleast 25 tests in Lanka. So, he should reach 50 centuries for sure.

Tendulkar helped in overcoming nervousness:
Raina
Yahoonews, PTI, 29 July 2010
Colombo: After notching up a century on his debut, Suresh Raina on Thursday said he was nervous when he took guard but Sachin Tendukar's pep talk helped him overcome the initial jitters.
Raina with his 120-run knock against Sri Lanka also became the first Indian cricketer to have scored a hundred in all formats of the game.
"Yes I was nervous when I came to bat but Sachin said just enjoy yourself, this moment will never come, you are playing your first Test match, just enjoy," Raina said after fourth day's play.
With Tendulkar, Raina raised a record 256-run partnership for the fifth wicket and said he realised a long time dream by batting alongside the legend.
"By God's grace I got this opportunity and it was my dream to bat with Sachin and today it came true. He said you are winning matches for the side in One-dayers, do well in Test also and enjoy," he said.
Raina came in the side in place of unwell Yuvraj Singh and made full use of the opportunity.

Trivia
* Suresh Raina with his 120-run knock against Sri Lanka has became the first Indian cricketer to have scored a hundred in all formats of the game.
* Sachin Tendulkar has equalled Brian Lara's world record to have scored most number of 150 plus runs (19 times) in Test cricket.
* Suresh Raina has become the third Indian player to be involved in 200-run plus partnership on the Test debut.
* With his century partnership with Suresh Raina, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has set a record for most century stands (12) against Sri Lanka, surpassing Pakistan's Younis Khan's tally of 11.
* India's Virender Sehwag became only the third player to be stumped on 99 in Tests - the first two were Pakistan's Maqsood Ahmed against India at Lahore in 1955 and New Zealand's John Wright against England at Christchurch in 1992.
* Sachin Tendulkar has become the first batsman to aggregate 600 runs against Sri Lanka at Colombo, SSC - 603 runs at an average of 100.50 in five Tests, including four centuries and one fifty.
* Sachin Tendulkar's tally of 48 hundreds, including 27 on foreign soil, are both records in Tests. Tendulkar has registered nine hundreds against Sri Lanka - the most by any batsman against Sri Lanka.

Tendulkar on the pitch(colombo) where srilanka made 900+ against INDIA (India played the first innings and had declared for 500 + runs)
Tendulkar said the pitch was "unfit for Test cricket", adding: "If we had lost the toss and batted second, we could also have played a massive innings. We only lost wickets because we took chances and looked for runs."
cricinfo on the pitch and indian bowlers
Ona dead pitch India stuck well enough to their task, at least on the third and fourth days. Not surprisingly, the bowlers and fielders wilted on the final day as Sri Lanka piled on the runs with all prospect of a result long gone. Opening bowler Kuruvilla, who picked up a leg injury, was spared much of the punishment, but Chauhan, on his return to Test cricket after doubts about his bowling action, and Kumble both conceded over 200 runs.

It has to be true and he has said in detail about that particular test and about thsi particular incident in a lighter vein. I dont think anybody would get insulted or hurt. Roshan Mahanama is one of the cricketers who is respected by all cricketers for his gentlemanly attitude and he maintains it through out, in the book. Padichaa puriyum.

Roshan,
two teams deciding to call off a test match is common. It would have happened in this scenario too and also it is clear that India would have proposed it first.
But you have mentioned it as "Whole Indian team requested and srilankan team obliged "...as though everyone from Sachin to kulkarni to manager went to srilankans dressing room and asked them to declare and srilankan team obliged with a big heart

By Sai Prasad Mohapatra
Following his rehabilitation programme in Johannesburg, Zaheer is back in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and if NCA sources are to be believed, the pacer is available for selection.
Gambhir will be sitting out and sources in the selection committee revealed that the selectors thought the left-hander needed some rest to heel his injured right knee.
Gambhir, who sat out the drawn second Test at the SSC, will, however, play the final Test against Sri Lanka.
On master batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who notched up his fifth Test double ton during the SSC Test, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that “Sachin is having stiffness in groin, but he seems fine at the moment. But I can’t tell you if somebody picks up an injury.”
There have been a lot of speculations over Yuvraj Singh’s participation in the upcoming one-day tournament, but the dashing southpaw looks all set to have a go.
Probables
Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Ashish Nehra, Rohit Sharma, Praveen Kumar, Ravindra Jadega, Dinesh Karthik, Zaheer Khan, Ashok Dinda-Ishant Sharma.

2-0 series win not enough for SL to become No. 1
Sri Lanka won't be able to displace India from the No. 1 position in the Test rankings in this series. It was earlier believed that a 2-0 series win would be enough to take Sri Lanka to the top spot.
However, the system had been misunderstood. From August 1, 2010, the rankings will cease to consider all Tests played between August 2006 and July 2007. During that period, Sri Lanka won five Tests and lost just one. Losing out on that good year takes Sri Lanka's rating points down from 115 to 111, and their current ranking from No. 4 to No. 5.
Over the same period, India won two Tests and lost two. Since their recent results have been better, they jumped from 124 rating points to 130. The best Sri Lanka can now achieve from this series is a jump to No. 2 if they win the P. Sara Test, starting Tuesday.
The ICC Test rankings run over a period ranging from three to four years. The Test table released today includes all the Test series that have been completed since August 2007, making it a three year period (for the purpose of the rankings, a year runs from August 1 to July 31).
Over the next year, all series played until July 31, 2011 will be added to this table, meaning the ratings will be based on four years of results, with series completed within the last two years carrying greater weight. However, on July 31, 2011, the oldest of the four years of results i.e. the matches played between August 2007 and July 2008, will be dropped, basing the rankings into a three-year period again.
Last week Kumar Sangakkara questioned the rankings system. "If rankings can't be understood by the public, the players, or the administrators, what's the use of having rankings?" he said. His main objection with the rankings is a lopsided FTP, which doesn't give all sides equal opportunities.
However, the prospect of becoming No. 1 excited him. He told the Sunday Island: "It's a great opportunity for us. The No. 1 ranking is something that we haven't got in the past and lot of pride is involved in the whole process of trying to achieve it."
MS Dhoni's side will retain the No. 1 ranking in Tests even if India lose the third Test to Sri Lanka.

#1 is about being better than everyone else. It is not about being all time great like aussies of recent times.
Just because they were way ahead of everyone else, doesn't mean #1 should be way ahead of everyone else. Today, there is a cluster at the top with india marginally ahead. One bad result in one test, and Sl/sa will surge ahead. This reflects the fact that teams are closer to each other these days.
What people do is to confuse current #1 with all_time best and argue that the current #1 doesn't deserve to be there. Logical fallacy, ofcourse. But the thing is people who think like that are the majority so the resat of us are the fools

Tri series squad announced
Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Harbhajan Singh have all been rested for the tri-series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand that kicks off on August 10. Yuvraj Singh makes a return to the 15-man squad after being dropped for the Asia Cup, the first time he had been omitted since cementing his place.
Pace spearhead Zaheer Khan remains sidelined due to the shoulder injury which kept him out of the Tests against Sri Lanka. Ishant Sharma, out of favour when it comes to limited-overs sides after a prolonged fallow period, takes Zaheer's place and gets in line to play his first one-dayer this year.
Abhimanyu Mithun, who made his Test debut against Sri Lanka, returns to the one-day squad in place of Bengal quick bowler Ashok Dinda. Offspinner R Ashwin and Jharkhand batsman Saurabh Tiwary, who were both in India's victorious Asia Cup team, also find a place.
Dinda will now head to Australia, along with with Manish Pandey, to replace Ashwin and Tiwary in the Indian team participating in the Emerging Players tournament.
Dinesh Karthik, who flew in as Virender Sehwag's replacement midway through the Asia Cup before turning in a Man-of-the-Match performance in the final, keeps his spot and is likely to open the innings with Sehwag.
The series which also involves Sri Lanka and New Zealand has a league phase in which each team plays the other twice before the top two advance to final on August 28.
India squad: MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, R Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ashish Nehra, Pragyan Ojha, Saurabh Tiwary[/b]

Curator defends SSC pitch for second Test
Anurudda Polonowita, Sri Lanka's national curator, has defended the pitch at the SSC, blaming the weak bowling line-ups for a dull draw. "I am quite happy [with the pitch]," Poloniwata said. "You take the Indian side. Six or seven world-class batsmen. Top level. Better than England or Australia. What is Sri Lankan batting? Same. All record holders. What is their bowling? We had Murali, we had [Chaminda] Vaas - 800 wickets, 400 wickets. Where are they now? Now see the side. Why don't you talk about bowling rather than the pitch?
"The captains have nothing to say, and say it's a batting wicket, bowlers have no chance. They don't have the bowlers to have a chance. If Sri Lanka had those bowlers at the SSC, they would have won the match. If they took [Sachin] Tendulkar's catch, it would have been 180 for 5, anything could have happened."
The Indian bowling attack, Polonowita said, was even worse. "They played a practice game at Colts Club. The A team hammered 514 for 9," he said. "They played at Galle, and Sri Lanka we got 520 for 8. At SSC, 642 for 4. What are you talking about the pitch? Why don't you talk about the bowling? Both sides have weak bowling, both sides have brilliant batting.
"Why do crowds pay and come? To see cricket. If you want it to finish in three days, I can fix the pitch for three days. That's not cricket."
Polonowita has been involved with Sri Lankan cricket for the last 50 years. He played until 1973-74, was the team manager on Sri Lanka's first Test tour, was a selector for 15 years, vice-president of the board, and chairman of umpire committees and tour organising committees.
"I know what I am doing," Polonowita said. "If you are a bowler, you must be able to bowl on any pitch. If a bowler is bowling bumpers, batsmen don't leave their bat and go. If you face a batting pitch, you have to take the challenge.
"Any time the reporters and commentators have nothing to say, they say this is not a pitch for Test cricket. You must talk about bowling too. Murali used to turn the ball on any wicket."
Asked if the absence of Murali and Malinga had any bearing on the kind of pitch prepared at the SSC, Polonowita said it was the absence of those bowlers that made the pitch look flat. "Always similar pitch, even if we had Murali and Malinga.
"Against South Africa [on the same track] Sri Lanka hammered all the records, and still won the match. They lost because Sri Lanka had the bowlers to get the wickets."
The pitch at the P Sara Oval, Polonowita said, will make for a more even contest. "More life in this pitch for both fast bowlers and spinners," he said. "That's the natural character of the pitch. This will be a much better pitch for bowlers than the SSC. With batting also, if one fellow puts his head down and bats, he will score."

From: Plum on 31st July 2010 06:55 PM [Full View]
Yes, the focus on the pitch must not take away the pathetic quality of the bowlers.
Durby is a negative influence - the moment he sees a pitch that is not helpful, he throws in the towel and grumpily bowls through without any verve or imagination. Without Murali and Malinga, the SL bowling also are not good enough. I am sure it has a bearing on Dhoni's captaincy - obviously, if you have such a negative mindset as Durby as your chief bowler, as a captain, your thinking tends to get defensive and you suffer wear and tear to your imagination and courage.
SL - Dilhara was the main pacer, enough said. Dilhara is the Lankan Agarkar. It is our good forutne that Lanka is keeping hope in him as long as we did in Agarkar.
Still, Randiv and Mendis bowler well occasionally and managed to earn their wickets. That says a lot about the effect of Durby on India. It is a shame that we continue to keep him in the side - even if the rest of the spinners are not good, it might be a good idea to take someone and groom them. It is not as if he is going to fare worse than Durby.
Here, I would like to remember Murali Kartik. In a parallel world, he might have emerged as a good spinner at 34 yeras of age now. If only he had been given 10% of the chances and backing that Durby receive....May his international career Rest in Peace.

Murali Karthik is winning a lot of matches for his English County Somerset and is a highly respected cricketer in the circuit. If only he was given enough opportunities we could've had a good bowler. I guess Murali Karthik might have antagonized some of the BCCI bigwigs, otherwise I see no real reason for him being continuously overlooked. Anyways he is now a true "cricketer on the road" and is plying his trade where they do respect him. Originally Posted by Plum

Jayawardene, Sangakkara-voda kosu thollai thaanga mudiyalai. They are yet to win a test match in Ind, SA, Aus. SA ivanungalai madhikkaradhe illai, they last hosted SL in 2002. Aus dont even allow them to play in main grounds like MCG, SCG.
But India has won test matches in these countries and has so much financial pull that these countries readily agree to host matches in prime venues. Andha vayitherichal-la chumma edhavadhu sollittu irukkaanunga.

Agreed that India have been more consistent in the sense they have won matches outside India but have they won any series against Australia / SA / England overseas recently .
IMO, doing this will strengthen India's claims to be No1 test playing nation.
Most of the series victories earned by India have been in India.
Whereas Australia / SA and England oflate have been winning more series outside their country.

India won Test series in eng, nz, wi (ok, still) in the last 5 yrs. Won tests in SA and Aus (both during 2004 and 2008) series. We have pretty good record against everyone. If official ranking system say India as no.1, India IS NO.1.
If SA captain / Aus captain talk abt rankings, makes sense. SL talking abt it is the height of comedy!

#1 just means #1. Doesnt mean you have to dominate like Australia did. The day people put this in their head clearly, that will be a day of victory for the discipline called Mathematical Logic.
What people want to say is that "This Indian team is not as dominant as the previous #1 was". They end up saying "India is not #1".

Couldn't agree with you more. People are blinded by the previous No. 1 team Australia. They had arguably one of the best cricket teams ever along with 80s WI and Bradman's Invincibles. Originally Posted by Plum
In the current scenario, there are 4-5 teams which are of equal strength like Aus, SA, Ind, Eng & SL. Out of these teams, India has been the most consistent and hence they are current No 1 side. If another side consistently wins matches in the next year or so, then they would be No 1. India is just the leader of the pack and not leader by a country mile.
If India was infact such a poor side, then other sides should lick their lips and beat India, as that would give them more points (for beating higher ranked team). Then those sides can become No 1. But since that is not happening, India must be doing something right.
So no point whining, they have to accept the truth.

Gambhir to miss third Test, Harbhajan doubtful
India opener Gautam Gambhir was ruled out of the third and final Test against Sri Lanka beginning in Colombo on Tuesday after failing to recover from a knee injury which forced him to miss the drawn second Test.
Gambhir's absence means Murali Vijay will again open the innings with Virender Sehwag, in a must-win match for the Indians at the P Sara Oval.
Sri Lanka lead the series 1-0 after winning the first match, while the second ended in a high-scoring dull draw.
Vijay gave a good account of himself in the second Test, when he scored a half-century in the first innings.
Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who missed Sunday's practice session, also seems a doubtful starter.
However, the team management insisted that the off-spinner's injury is not serious and he is only suffering from a minor side strain.
Both Gambhir and Harbhajan have also been rested for the forthcoming tri-series in Sri Lanka also featuring New Zealand.

They came quite close to winning a series in Australia that too when they were at the height of their powers. Even their last tour was a formidable performance with 3rd choice bowling attack not as meek as most other subcontinental nations. They have won test matches in bowler friendly, seaming and swinging conditions. On the contrary, the much hailed better travellers had trouble winning a series in Subcontinent. Originally Posted by Irene Hastings
(It is weird how when appraising performance in foreign nations, they conveniently ignore the performances in Subcontinent whereas while assessing India's performance outside all that counts is Aus, SA and Eng. Sure it is worth the merit but the merit of the other side, the so called good travellers, is not correct)

24.4 Ojha to Dilshan, 1 no ball, OUT, Dilshan is run out It was pushed to the off, not all that far away from silly point where Vijay lunged out his left hand and stopped it. Dilshan is looking for a run, is now surprised that Vijay had stopped it and tries to turn back. Vijay flicks the ball to Dhoni who breaks the stumps with Dilshan's bat in the air. Oh dear Dilshan is gone at the stroke of lunch. Smart work from Vijay. Not so smart from Dilshan, who was batting so well. And it was a no ball. Oh well.

Exactly. From the days of Yuvraj and Kaif, it has become a fashion to call people who dive, run around and stop runs in limited overs mode as good fielders while dismissing Dravid, Laxman etc. In Tests, RSD and VVS and SRT are the most crucial fielders we have. Catching in slips is specialised - and Yuvi/Kaif have looked bebbebbebee when put ther ein the past. They have cost us matches from Slip/Short Leg/Silly Point. Besides this, Yuvi is a poor catcher at point also anyway. Originally Posted by littlemaster1982

Slip catching is specialised. I am sure Murali Vijay will be a slipper for TN. People like Vijay. Gambhir and Sehwa should try to specialise in slip catching if we are to challenge for #1 in the future.

From: raajarasigan on 3rd August 2010 01:55 PM [Full View]
Plum,
agree on Dravid / VVS / SRT in slip... but even they are NOT at their best nowadays...
Slip is the very important position in test matches... we should start look for replacements in the field positioning as well...
Mark Waugh & Stephen Fleming are the two best slip fielders I have ever seen.. I hardly see them dropping catches...

Raghu,
We all know about you for the past 5 years, you were supporting SL before and the words and phrases used at that time was provactive and irritating. Once you went to the extent of ridiculing "Indian fans" and not the Indian team, that shows your attitude towards India & Indian team & Indians.Now you are saying that you dont support any team, fine! but our perspective about your thoughts wont change.

Crowd fingers 'waterboy' Yuvraj Singh
Tempers Flare As Southpaw Takes It Out On Jeering Spectators
Partha Bhaduri | TNN
Colombo: It was a sensitive issue to begin with,and the Lankan crowds seemed to enjoy rubbing it in for Yuvraj Singh for Tuesday.
The T Murugaser stand adjacent to the dressing room made sure Yuvraj,dropped for the third Test with MS Dhoni favouring youngster Suresh Raina,wasnt kept out of the action on Tuesday.The Oval Taverners bar kept the club members throats suitably greased,and fun and frolic soon turned to ugly temper tantrums after the teabreak.Poor Yuvraj turned out to be the favourite whipping boy.
On one occasion,while carrying drinks back from the ground after the tea-break,one fan shouted,Why are you carrying the water,Yuvi Others in the crowd followed suit,and in the melee,one of them gesticulated,showing Yuvraj the finger.It was rib-tickling in bad taste and it all seemed too much for the pricklish Yuvraj,who pointed it all out to local authorities.The Sri Lankan fans might not have understood his language but Yuvis intentions were hard to miss,and they immediately ripped into him,taunting him as a waterboy and praising Suresh Raina.
The police was immediately ushered in to keep things quiet.Its hard to be tough on the clubs members,though,and the crowd was allowed to continue.Waterboy,waterboy/Dont let me down waterboy, they sang in mock defiance,and took to praising every Indian player coming out of the ground.
Indian team manger Ranjib Biswal said the team management was considering filing a police case against the fans who jeered Yuvraj.Biswal defended Yuvraj,saying: The crowd was trying to misbehave with the player.The police was asked to intervene and the situation was brought under control.Yuvi was not at fault,he didnt try to provoke the crowd at all.I was sitting next to Yuvi when it happened and I can tell you they were trying to provoke the player.
Couldnt Yuvraj have ignored the jeers Its a basic human tendency to react to situations, Biswal said,He was being repeatedly provoked but Yuvi was quite restrained.The police have taken the spectators out and we will definitely lodge a complaint with match officials.Yuvis reaction wasnt a counter-attack,hes also a human being.We will lodge a complaint with the police also.

100.3 Ojha to Mathews, OUT, Got him with the arm ball. It landed around off stump and moved in. Angelo gets forward to defend and pushes outside the line. He was playing for the turn. There wasn't any. It would have hit the middle. Trapped! a just reward for Ojha who has bowled well in this Test

India into the Sri Lankan tail. One more
112.5 Ojha to HAPW Jayawardene, OUT, Done in by that tendency to sweep. It was coming, you felt. It landed on middle and leg and turned and hit him in front of the middle stump. It would have gone to peg back the middle. No 4 for Ojha. There was a shout for lbw in the last delivery of the previous Ojha over when Pras went for another sweep shot. This time around he is gone.

If he fails in this match, media will raise such pressure - especially with Raina succeeding, there will be "Seniors Are Blocking Juniors' Path" with BGM from Khalnayak in the news channels - that a decent man like Dravid cannot take. I guess he will announce his retirement if he fails in this test - even if he might believe that he can do well against Aus and SA.

Compared with the current crop of passt bowlers, Srinath and Kapil (430 wkts in 130 matches, slowest to get there I think) are absolute legends. It has been a while since we unearthed a quality (not great) bowler who performs consistently over a period. Sreesanth, Ishant, RP, Munaf, etc etc. Zaheer is the only one whom we can rely, but even he is injured most of the time (maybe purposefully to avoid batting pitches Originally Posted by raajarasigan
425 all out -- oru vazhiya mudinjathu... ishant thadavi thadavi 3 wic edutthuttan...
Puliyan,
srinath, kapil dev kooda andha alavukku efficientnnu solla mudiyathu... but agree that we should look forward with what we have ). Once Bajji is getting close to be dropped, he will take 5 wickets and say punch dialogues like a mass hero. Where is the consistancy? Where are the bowlers?

I completely agree. And we should not chase too much batting last in this pitch, so better make as much as we can in the 1st innings. Originally Posted by sathya_1979

Laxman doesnt make big scores nowadays, Raina is still finding his feet in Test matches and Dhoni can atmost make a decent contribution. So it is vital for this pair to take us as close to the total as possible. Once we get past the SL total, the pressure will be entirely on Sri Lanka. Then Raina,Dhoni can attack and balloon the lead. To me this seems to be the only way we can get 200+ lead.

35.6 Malinga to Tendulkar, OUT, Malingaaaaaa! What a gift by Tendulkar, though! It was short of length and well outside off stump, Tendulkar's feet were glued to each other and he kept chasing the ball. It veered away even further away from his intended cut/dab/steer and got a thin edge through to the keeper. And boy is Malinga happy or what. Great scenes here.

106.1 Randiv to Sharma, OUT, Drama here! Ump Tucker first says not out before he reverses his decision and gives it out. This is what happened: It was a flighted delivery on the middle and leg, it spun past the waft , hit the pad and went to short-leg. No bat there. It went straight of the pad. The fielders appeal. The ump says not out. They appeal again. The ump is unmoved. They seemed to be resigned to the decision when he suddenly raises the finger. Gone! Ishant has to go back. He obviously doesn't look too happy. Big picture: India lead by 11 runs. This fascinating Test rumbles on.

20.5 Ojha to Randiv, OUT, Trapped! It landed on middle and off and turned slightly. Randiv was leaning forward, looking to defend but pushed outside the line. Hawk eye shows that it would have hit the off stump. Dhoni must be a relieved man after dropping him previous ball. Enter Mahela. What a vital partnership this is going to be.

Sharma to Sangakkara, 1 run, Almost chipped straight to mid-on! Lots happening already. It was the length delivery and Sanga pushed out at it and checked the shot. Perhaps it stopped a touch on him. THe ball flew towards mid-on where Vijay was donning a Helmet! Did that helmet prevent him from diving full stretch forward? He might not have reached the ball with the dive but it was well worth attempting it.
Paul: "Why on earth was Vijay wearing a helmet at mid-on? Was he fielding in close when Sharma was bowling to Randiv, and couldn't be bothered taking it off? The masses want to know!" Ha! yeah. Vijay is standing at silly point for Ojha

80.6 Mithun to Samaraweera, OUT, And it's Mithun who takes out Samaraweera! What a knock this has been. And he contributed to his own dismissal. It was the last ball of the over and he walked towards the off stump and tried to pull the short ball around the leg stump to fine-leg for a single and retain the strike. Mistake. He ended up gloving it behind. Perhaps, he was wary of letting Mendis play a full over against Ishant with the new ball. Anyway, he is gone now. What a fabulous innings under pressure. The crowd cheer him all the way. Great scenes here.

9.1 Randiv to Dravid, OUT, And Rahul Dravid is gone. He stands there, looking very very disappointed. The Fielders rush past him to celebrate. He is there, head down. What a way to go too. IT turned from around off stump, Dravid gets back to defend and tries to play with soft hand. It lands near his feet. To his horror, the ball spins back after it lands and he tries to kick it away but fails. The ball moves past his leg and falls on the stumps. he walks away slowly from the scene, drops his back once, and picks it up and goes away. Tendulkar walks past him.

15.2 Randiv to Vijay, OUT, No 3 for Randiv! He is rocking here. He got this one to turn and bounce on the leg and middle line. There was a backward short-leg in place but Vijay went for that loose clip shot that one plays normally if there was fielder there. Mahela takes a good low catch.Vijay wasn't sure it was taken cleanly. And it was refer ed upstairs. Numerous replays were seen and it has been given out. Mahela had no doubt that he had taken it cleanly. Replays weren't of great quality. The angles ie. But my gut feel, as if that matters!, is that it was out.

Remember this is a pitch where last two SL wickets scored freely! Key is to survive till the ball gets soft. My only worry is the depth of our batting, Dhoni has so far proven to be odhavakara in test matches

What I meant was that Dhoni has so far not delivered as a lower middle order batsman during crunch situations. Gilly alavuku ilaatiyum oru Boucher alavukaachum contribute pannalaam.. he has shown that fighting spirit in ODI's but yet to see in Tests.
His stature as a batsman in lower middle order is a bit misleading when weighed with his contributions.
As someone else pointed out earlier, most of his above 50 scores have come when the top batsmen have performed really well under good batting situations. And the stats you have shown are greatly boosted by his numbers against Bangladesh and other significant knocks have mostly come when others have also scored.
I am disappointed because there were quite a few times in this series I thought Dhoni would stabilize the innings but only to disappoint. I expected a big innings from Dravid as well, he too disappointed

Maddy,
I am not saying anything new. I am only repeating myself, see the innings list. All his major contributions have come when the team is already in a good score. I had said it just from my memory, but looking at the list confirms the same.
http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/...d;view=innings
Except for this match, where he had a great partnership with Dravid (Who else ) coming at 5 down for 157.
http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/430881.html
Yes, it is a team game and that is why I count on Sachin and VVS tomorrow.. so the expectation is not just from Dhoni.. and don't worry... if the batting fails tomorrow Dhoni would be the last person to be blamed

If such a comment was ever made against Sachin it is blasphemous simply by the measure of what he has already achieved... If we ever have to defend Dhoni similarly we can only rest on the promise he holds in future, nothing of Sachin sorts to show from the history!!

Well, to be honest I had the same feeling. He has that killer instinct and the quest for victory which we can see for sure in ODIs and 20-20. So likewise I expected him to shore up the team several times in this series but unfortunately that was not to be so far. Originally Posted by MADDY

Sambit Bal, Cricinfo's editor, says: "I think Sri Lanka haven't put enough pressure on the Indians," says Sambit. "They are more worried about losing than excited about winning." They have been almost waiting for the Indians to make mistakes. Tendulkar did once, Just once. And Dilshan didn't take it. Laxman is playing like dream And Sri Lanka haven't attacked enough. Strange.

It was flighted just outside leg stump from round the stumps and he went for his hard thumping sweep shot. Pras went to his left,collected it and went up in appeal. It seemed to have brushed his glove. Gone! What a moment this. Tendulkar trudges off slowly. Smart work from Prasanna. It touched the brush and he took it. And it's of course Randiv who does the damage. What a game he has had.

Game on.
52.5 Malinga to Raina, FOUR, Edged over slips! Oh boy! Hello Hello! It was full and well outside off stump and Raina went for the big expansive square slash. And it flew over Mahela. What a wild shot that was? Was it a sign of nervousness? Or he thought he would slash it away!

'I'm proud of how I've played under pressure - Laxman'
It's been 100 Tests now that VVS Laxman has been making batting look all too easy, whirring his wrists and persuading the ball through improbable arcs. Appearances can be deceptive, though, for behind that lackadaisical grace lie weeks and months of graft and practice. And for someone who makes it all look smooth sailing, his career has had more than its share of turbulence. It has been an eventful 12 years and the man himself is satisfied with how it has all shaped up. "I'm quite happy with the journey I have had. It has made me a better person," he tells Cricinfo.
A few years ago we did a cover story for our magazine on the top five Indian batsmen, where each one spoke about one of the others. Sachin Tendulkar spoke about you, and I still remember one sentence. He said, 'When Laxman bats you just stand at the other end and watch and tell yourself not to get carried away.' That's quite something coming from him.
That's a big compliment. But that's really true of each of the four of us, and [Virender] Sehwag and [Gautam] Gambhir too. When any of us is in peak form, when we are dominating batsmen, it is a treat to watch. And one thing you don't want to do is to try to emulate someone who is batting that well.
What Sachin really meant was that you can do some things that can't be emulated.
What he was probably referring to is the shots I play from outside the off stump towards leg. But then each of us has some truly special skills. That's why we have done so well at the international level. But that's a great compliment from Sachin, who has played international cricket for so many years and seen so many batsmen.
Not a lot of batsman make a living out of hitting balls from outside the off stump through midwicket. How did you learn to bat like this?
I have always done what has come naturally. I have not tried to change too many things. I have put in a lot of hard work, but I have followed what came naturally.
There are a couple of things that helped develop my game. One, the school ground. Actually it was not a ground but a small space between the buildings. We had a cement pitch and a tar road and we used play with a glazed ball. This meant the ball really skidded on to you, and it didn't bounce a lot. On those wickets, you knew what the ball was going to do, it didn't deviate much and the bounce was even. So all of us in school learnt to play a lot of on-the-rise shots.
The second thing is that in Hyderabad we had a lot of matting wickets with nice bounce. On those wickets even a decent fast bowler could get the ball to climb from a good length. So as a batsman you couldn't really commit to the front foot - you stay back and play late.
Both these factors helped me play fast bowling well. When you are playing international cricket, 75% of the time you are playing fast bowling, and I really enjoy playing fast bowling.
I recently heard you say in an interview that you didn't play spin very well to start with.
Yes, these were the reasons. I really had to practise very hard to be able to play spin. Luckily we had some really good spinners in Hyderabad - Venkatapathy Raju, Arshad Ayub, Shivlal Yadav, and Kanwaljit Singh - and I got to practise against them in the nets or in league matches. But I had to work really hard because it didn't come naturally to me.
Shane Warne would find that very hard to believe.
Actually, I started playing spin much better after I started playing for the country. Before that I would be a bunny to any good spinner in domestic cricket. Often I would be caught-and-bowled to left-arm spinners and legspinners off the leading edge. But once I started playing well, I managed to score a lot of runs playing the same strokes.
Your batting seems to defy most commonly accepted principles of batting. Did no one try to correct you?
When I was growing up there was a huge emphasis on technique. At the Under-15 level we had a coach called Sampat Kumar, and he actually tried to correct me. I was dropping my elbow and he was trying to get me to play straight. He actually hit me with a stump above my elbow. Of course, he was only trying to help me. But as I grew older, coaches also realised that it was my strength, and that I was getting a lot of runs batting that way. And it was also disturbing the rhythm of the bowlers, so they realised it was an asset.
Did you model yourself on anyone? Who were your childhood heroes?
Definitely Sunil Gavaskar. He was the most consistent and prolific batsman then. I also used to love watching Viv Richards. I loved the way he dominated bowlers. Then there was Greg Chappell, [Mohammad] Azharuddin…
You certainly didn't try to copy Gavaskar's technique.
In fact, when I was small people used to call me Little Gavaskar. With age, your game, your technique, changes. But when I was six or seven, I used to play straight and had a compact technique. And I had a ball-hitting sense that the kids of my age didn't have.
I play that shot only when I am 100% confident of playing it. That same shot can look beautiful when you pull it off, but if you get out playing it, you end up looking very foolish. I have looked foolish many times. But with experience you learn to choose when to play that stroke. You assess the pitch, the kind of bowler you are playing. And it's very important that you are in the right rhythm.
The thing about your batting, apart from your wristiness, is timing. Was that a gift?
It always came naturally to me. It's all about meeting the ball at the right time. It's about feeling good; the feel-good factor is very important. And it's also about practice - you have to hit a lot of balls, and you have to get into a really good mental frame.
Part of it was natural, but to play and succeed in international cricket for a long time you have to put in a lot of hard work and practice. I love batting. I used to bat for two, three hours at the nets. In Hyderabad the bowlers used to be really scared when I came to nets, because they would have to bowl as long as I was willing to bat.
You have had a long career, but it's not been the smoothest. I guess you need a very strong mind to cope with all that.
Absolutely. The mind is the most important aspect. Only if your mind is correct can you bowl, bat or catch in a proper manner. With experience, I have learnt a lot - not only from the ups and downs I have had but also from batting in different positions. Batting at No. 6 or opening didn't come naturally to me. Batting with the tail didn't come naturally to me. So the mental aspect was very important. That's something I am very proud of, and I am proud of my innings in pressure situations. I really relish pressure situations, when you have to bail the team out, and you can't do that if you are not mentally strong.
What was tougher? Batting at No. 6 or opening?
With hindsight, batting at No. 6 was tougher. With opening it was more a mind block for me. And I was very young at that time. The second thing was that people branded me a non-regular opener. Here I was, trying to do a job for the country, and if I failed a couple of times people would say, 'But he is a non-regular opener.' That was really tough. And they would drop me, and I would have to go back to the Ranji Trophy and fight my way back, open again, get dropped again. In fact, three innings after I got a 167 against Australia, I was dropped.
But No. 6 was a different challenge. Often you have to bat with tailenders, and often you walk in when the team is in trouble and you have to play according to the situation and adapt your game to that. Sometimes you are batting beautifully but you don't get value for your strokes because the field is deep. And often you get stranded, so that affects your individual performance. Hitting hard or over the top was never my strength. I always liked to use the pace of the ball, so that was another drawback.
But because I had to adapt and adjust to many different positions and score runs too, I am now comfortable batting in any position.
Another aspect of your game is that you have been a good bad-wicket batsman. Innings in Mumbai against Australia in 2004-05, and in Kanpur against South Africa this year come to mind.
That's because I have batted and scored runs on a lot of wickets like this in domestic cricket, where on the third and fourth days you will not have the ball coming on to the bat, and you really need to work hard for your runs. That experience is a great help.
And the other thing about playing on tough wickets is that you know you have to bail the team out. You know that a couple of guys have to stick around. I love that kind of a challenge.
What is it about you and Australia? Why is it that you always score runs against them?
I like the way they play their cricket. I like that aggression and I like playing fast bowling. Playing against them is always a challenge, and when people are trying to get you out, you also get the chance to score runs.
It's something that started early. I played them at Under-19 level, and at that level they had the most fearsome bowling attack. [Brett] Lee, [Jason] Gillespie, [Matthew] Nicholson. I enjoyed playing against them and got some success. It carried on from there.
Take us through the 281. There you were trying to save a match, but watching you bat, it certainly didn't feel that way. You played some incredible strokes, driving Warne inside out off the rough and also on-driving him against the spin.
There was no point trying to think of the result. We just told ourselves that we needed to bat as long as possible, and more importantly, play as normally as possible. There was no point trying to defend for two days. I had to play all my normal strokes without taking any risks. So all the strokes that you are talking about were percentage strokes for me. I just felt confident that I could play them because my mindset was right and the rhythm was good.
Is that what you would call being in the zone? A feeling of invincibility - as though you can get away with anything?
It's more like knowing what you can do. You are actually playing well yourself, and you are very aware of your strengths. It's about feeling positive, making all the right decisions, feeling in control. I had that sense.
That was an incredible series, where you could do no wrong. But then you went into a phase where you just could not convert starts. You scored a series of 20s and 30s, batting beautifully and then getting out.
Yes, it was a period like that. Not that I was batting badly - in fact, I was batting quite well, and the strokes that got me out were my normal, percentage shots. It wasn't as if I was trying to belt balls over midwicket and getting out.
I particularly remember Bloemfontein. The ball was doing quite a lot. Rahul Dravid opened and got out early, but you batted as if you were on a different planet. You scored 32 off 30 balls - even hit a six - and then you were gone.
John Wright told me it was best 30 he had ever seen. But it was that kind of period. Looking back I would say I was perhaps playing too many strokes. It can happen when you are batting well. It is the flip side of feeling very positive. You sense you can hit a lot of fours, and you try to hit balls even when you are not quite there, because you feel you can pull it off.
You didn't score another hundred for more than a year. Something changed on the West Indies tour. You were a far more watchful batsman - you almost grafted for your runs. Your next hundred, the 130 at St John's, was different.
When you are batting at No. 6 in the subcontinent, or in places like the West Indies, where the wickets are slow and the ball doesn't come on to the bat, then you have to play more of a grafting innings. You cannot hit too many boundaries and you can't time the ball into the gaps as well as you can in places like South Africa, Australia, or even England for that matter. So I think that's why my strike-rate fell.
That's what I learnt by batting at No. 6 - that it is important that you carry on by playing your normal game rather than getting frustrated. So that's when I started playing for a longer period of time and I still consistently got big runs. I was the highest run-getter in West Indies - I got nearly 500 runs in five Test matches. But the nature of my game was quite different in that series. Immediately after that we went to England and I got some 75-odd at Lord's, but that came at a quick pace. So it depends what wicket you are batting on.
That was the difference. Before that I was batting at No. 3 and when you are batting at No. 3, once you are in - it's very important to be in - you have more open gaps, the ball comes on to the bat, the ball is hard, and because the wicket is also nice and firm, you probably get more value for your shots than you do batting at No. 6.
Your career has had many great highs but there have been a few lows in a sense - 100 Tests but only 13 hundreds, and the average is 45, where 50 is seen as the benchmark. What would you attribute that to?
A lot of things. I don't want to get into those discussions, but yes, I would have loved to have more hundreds. There have been opportunities for me to get a hundred when a specialist batsman was batting well along with me but I got out. There have also been times when I could have got a hundred but was left stranded. So there will always be ifs and buts. But in retrospect I should have got more hundreds.
Probably the batting positions - when you are batting at No. 6, or even 5, you don't have the opportunity, especially in the subcontinent, to get big hundreds. If your team is doing well, invariably you have to increase the run-rate because you are looking for a declaration. And if the team isn't doing well, you are stranded with the tailenders. So I think No. 5 or No. 6 is a very tough position, especially in the subcontinent, from which to score big hundreds.
When you look back at your career, would you say you are satisfied with what you have achieved?
I am quite satisfied. No one is fully satisfied - not just sportsmen but anyone. They always look back and say, 'I should have done this,' or, 'Why wasn't I able to achieve this?' But I am quite satisfied because, firstly, with my background, I never thought I would become a cricketer - I wanted to become a doctor.
I'm quite happy with my contribution to the team. There can always be improvement but I'm quite happy with the journey I have had. It has made me a better person. I handle situations in life, as a whole, better. And that's something I'm very proud of. I can take confidence from my career.
It's very apparent to anyone who observes you, even from a distance, that there is a balance about you, not only while playing cricket but also in life. Where does it come from - your background?
It comes from my background, because my parents have always been like that. My father is a doctor - so is my mother - and a lot of patients would praise him. There would be times when a patient got upset with the way things had gone but he was very equanimous - and that's something when dealing with life and death. He's taught my brother and me to be like that. We've seen him in action, practising whatever he has been preaching to us.
In a sport like cricket, especially in our country, where there is a lot of emotional turbulence - one day it's high, the next day you're low - I think my upbringing has really helped me.
And I'm very lucky that my wife has been the same. It's a great feeling at home; it's not high and low according to my performance on the field. So that's why I've been able to overcome the setbacks I've had.
My coaches, my uncle, and close friends, they've been the same. If people you are in close touch with remain the same, you don't get carried away. So I think all this had a huge influence on me.
Handling fame and fortune is one of the bigger challenges now for an Indian cricketer. You have managed it fairly well. If you were to give some advice to young cricketers, what would you say?
I think if it doesn't come naturally, the experience will teach you that. And it will teach you much quicker now than when we started our career, because of the things you mentioned - so many highs and lows; so many good things said about you and so many bad things said the next day.
Nowadays it's much tougher because previously you just had to think about how you managed your game, but now it's very important how you manage your entire personality, which is probably more important because that is going to affect your game. I said earlier that if your mind is okay then your batting, bowling and fielding will be okay. So this obviously will affect your mind and it will get into your mental space. Most present-day cricketers are also very intelligent chaps with high energy and high levels of confidence. Because they are intelligent, they will mature with experience.
You've had to deal with disappointment. You made no secret of the fact that you were upset at not being picked for the 2003 World Cup. And suddenly you found that the one-day game was closed to you. How was it dealing with that? Was there anger?
There was definitely frustration and a lot of disappointment, because I was preparing really well.
I got over it. The people around me helped me. To be very honest, it was the biggest shock of my life until then. Even when I was dropped from the one-day squad in 2005, I was still contributing to the team in ODIs. Suddenly the selectors dropped me. I was still performing in whatever opportunities I was getting. I got a hundred in the Challenger Trophy, but still I wasn't picked in the ODI side.
It was definitely disappointing, but with experience I learnt that you don't think about the things you cannot control. Initially it was difficult because I wanted to play in both forms of the game. I was sure I could contribute in one-day cricket, even win matches for the team, but I was not given an opportunity.
There was one series where it affected my Test performance. I was very disappointed when we went to Bangladesh for the two-Test match series there. I got out in the 20s and 30s to mediocre bowling because that was playing on my mind. So then I decided that if I was picked in the one-day side, great, but I would concentrate wherever I was given an opportunity and I'd do justice to my responsibility.
Has it affected your position in the side, in the sense that if you are not playing one-day cricket then you are out of sight, out of mind? Because you aren't in the one-day side, and if someone else is doing well there, people look at those performances and say, 'Why isn't he in the Test side?'
It's bound to happen, especially in India, where one-day cricket is so important. But with the experience of the initial part of my career I learnt that if I am thinking about things which are not in my control then I am wasting my mental energy and I am not enjoying my game. That process helped me focus on what I am supposed to do instead of thinking too much about what people are writing or saying, or what public opinion is being created.
It's a great honour for me to represent the country, because as a child you have the desire to play for the Indian cricket team, which was a distant dream I thought would never be realised. When you are living the dream then nothing should come in the way of enjoying that process.
In hindsight would you say that not playing one-dayers is an advantage because your best game is really suited for Test cricket?
No, I don't agree, because when I used to play one-day and Tests I was always in touch with the game, always playing at the international level. Even though breaks help you in physical reconditioning, if you are playing continuously in both forms of the game you are in better touch than when you are playing in one. When you are playing both forms of the game you enter a match in full rhythm because you are playing high-quality bowling day in and day out. So I think playing both forms of the game is much better than playing just one.
Talking about preparation: how do you prepare for a Test match?
The preparation starts almost three weeks before the series begins. That is the key, whether you do it with the team or as an individual. You know what kind of surfaces you are going to play on, what kind of bowlers you will face, so accordingly you simulate that kind of bowling in practice, either in the nets or using a bowling machine. If you're going to be playing spinners, you play on the rough surface or gravel, where you can't gauge the bounce or spin of the surface. Then you do a lot of throwdowns.
Before a Test match you usually have a long nets session, say around 20-25 minutes, and then you have throwdowns.
But I always believe that whatever preparation you do, you should feel good going into a Test match. Whatever you are doing, it's just to feel good and not create any doubts in your mind that you've left something undone. And once you are batting you shouldn't be thinking, 'I didn't prepare for this situation or this kind of delivery or this kind of attack.' So preparation is the key.
Especially two days before the match. You are practising not only your strokes but also the way you are going to think in the match. If you are in that mental space then automatically you will start off the Test in that mental space. So I think preparation is not only physical, or from a skills point of view; it is also mental.
Any routines before a Test match day?
All of us have that. It's something we try and stick to. I do visualisation, I do pranayama [breath control in yoga] on the eve of the match. And then you obviously think about the bowlers you are going to face, watch their videos. Actually I sometimes try and watch a movie in my routines before the match, just to be a little relaxed and divert my thoughts. Too much thinking can also have a negative impact on your mind. So it depends what kind of mental space you are in.
Dravid says you don't watch too much cricket before going to bat - you're usually sleeping.
Now I'm batting at No. 6 or No. 5. Before, I used to be at No. 3, so I'd watch or chat with friends while the game was going on. Now I rest near a TV set so you can watch what's happening - if the ball is reversing, or what kind of lines a bowler is bowling. It helps you relax. I don't want to be totally charged up before going into bat. So I just try to be as relaxed as possible, either by sleeping or listening to music. I don't read too many books before because that also takes up mental energy.
A hundred Tests now. How many more?
I don't know at the moment. I am enjoying my game and I am still able to contribute to the team. The word 'contribution' is very important to me. I have the responsibility of doing well for the team. As long as I am contributing with good performances, I am not really thinking about anything else.
I have never set targets. I never played for numbers, though they are important. It's better to take each series as it comes. For example, in this series we want to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and we are focusing our energies on achieving that. At the moment we want to be No. 1 in Test cricket and we are confident of achieving that. As long as I am contributing to that goal, I'll be more than happy.

Very intersting article by Harsha
Gavaskar v Sehwag
What if two greats of Indian cricket were to bat together? One thing is for sure: they'd do things their way

Players/Officials: Sunil Gavaskar | Virender Sehwag
Teams: India
I know it isn't possible, but what the hell, we think about it all the time. We try and compare players from different generations, and while that is not just unfair but impossible to do, I have been spending a lot of time (an advantage of being on one flight too many) thinking of what it would be to watch Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag, the two Indian opening batsmen at either end of my cricket-watching interval, bat together.
For starters, both would enjoy it. Gavaskar has always said that his bread-and-butter shot was the single, and he could take it almost as a ticket to the show at the other end. And Sehwag could see the powerful cocoon Gavaskar built around himself, so single-minded was he in constructing an innings.
But even more fascinating would be to see the difference in style. Gavaskar was the classical old-school batsman, body right behind the line of the ball, bat straight as a well-constructed wall (Rahul Dravid was version 2.0). One of the great joys of watching cricket for us was to see Gavaskar up on his toes, eyes like an assassin's, never wavering from the object of attention, meeting with his bat a ball projected at his throat, letting it dribble meekly down its face, now devoid of any potency, and fall dead by his toes. Gavaskar played some of the most attractive shots you will see - the straight drive was for posterity - but the way he neutralised the venom of a bouncer defined him for me.
To Gavaskar, and indeed to many of his generation, the wicket was a citadel that could not be breached. It had to be protected like a family heirloom. When you were sure it was safe, you played the bold shot. But you were not encouraged to hit in the air, and if you were stumped by a yard trying to hit a six when on 99, you were probably made to stand in a corner.
But when Sehwag does it, it doesn't evoke howls of protest. Sehwag is the warrior who must conquer many lands and only then return home for a meal. If he cannot attack, if the bowler's offering is so compact that shot-making is not an option, only then will he defend. There are no heirlooms any more. If you lose a BlackBerry, you buy another. Or if you think blue looks cool, you buy another. Occasionally in trying to spear the opponent you leave a flank open and pay for it, but that is just one of the hurdles of doing a job.
And so Sehwag, such a product of this generation, must play beside the line rather than classically behind it. The feet provide support to the body but don't have a huge role to play in shot-making. You let the ball draw alongside and then, with the space you now possess, you either slice it to bits or smite it to the boundary. It is an altogether more violent form of batting. If Sehwag got behind the line of the ball, like he sometimes does when it is too straight, he wouldn't have the space or the freedom to play his way.
The Gavaskar approach was maddening to a bowler. Robin Jackman once told me of how Gavaskar didn't let him see the off stump for an entire spell. "He made me bowl where he wanted me to bowl rather than where I wanted to bowl," he said. The Sehwag approach is to put fear in a bowler's mind. "He must know when he is running in that if he bowls a bad ball, Sehwag will hit it for four," he once said. Just as a bowler can induce a tense batsman to play a bad shot, so too can Sehwag force an uncertain bowler to bowl a bad ball.
With Sehwag you have fear and hope, with Gavaskar it was like hitting your head on a rock at the sheer futility of bowling. Gavaskar would never have got stumped on 99, and he wouldn't have tried to hit a six on 195 either. Two different styles you could not hope to see in a lifetime. But at the corresponding points in their career (79 Tests each), a mere 88 runs separate them. The difference in batting average is but 0.68.
Eventually, therefore, it is about doing things as you know best; as two brilliant cricketers 30 years apart have shown.

One final comment from Cricinfo's Assistant Editor George: "Terrific win, and without any drama. And rather unexpected considering the weak bowling attack India had and the mountains of runs Sri Lanka scored in the first two Tests. Full credit to Laxman, but let's not forget Sehwag's fast century, which ate into Sri Lanka's 425 at quick pace."

Ivan himsai thaanga mudeela! Competing with pricky ranting for the "Worst Whiner in the Sport" award
http://cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/new...kara-20100807/
Sri Lanka was better side in Test series:
Sangakkara
Yahoonews, PTI, 07 August 2010
Colombo: They let India level the three-match series by not grabbing chances but Sri Lanka was a better side throughout, host skipper Kumar Sangakkara said on Saturday. India won the third Test by five wickets to deny Sri Lanka a series-win but Sangakkara drew satisfaction from their dominating performance.
"It is one all. It is neither here nor there. But I thought right through the Test series we took more wickets. We scored more runs and we definitely created a lot more opportunities. Of course we did not convert those opportunities in these two tests. It was the only window India had to come back to the series," Sangakkara said.
The Lankan skipper said the third Test could have taken a different turn had they grabbed chances against Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina today.
"I think we had a couple of chances this morning with Sachin and then with Raina. I think that would have made it lot more interesting. But the way they batted was excellent. They batted very positively, they kept scoring runs. And apart from Suraj Randiv and Malinga we could not exert pressure from the other end either to take wickets or to cut down runs."
Sangakkara said a score of near-300 would have made the contest more tight. "I think we would have liked to have close to 300 runs but the situation that we had 250 to defend was a great effort from Mendis and Thilan Samaraweera. Few chances here and there and all of them have proved crucial in the final analysis," he said.
Sangakkara also praised the preparation of the wicket, which had something to offer to all the players. "Usually it helps the fast bowlers a bit more than that, But the statistics show that the team batting last have won every test match here in the past two years. But probably the wicket was dry than it has been before. And probably it offered enough for every one in the first two days and more more to the spinners over the last three days. But over all a great wicket," he said.

Along with Laxman I think Samaraweera should have been awarded.
That was a great second innings knock as like Laxman, under pressure.
Anyway excellent partnership between Thalaivar and Laxman!
Raina! waterboy's spot in test cricket is under serious jeopardy!
