I wonder to see the scorecard that sachin has not bowled a single over. Then for what purpose he brought into the team. He can not do batting and now he is not doing bowling too.
I would love to see a team composed of all YOUNGSTERS - raina, yuvraj, gambhir, goni, yousuf pathan and all the other STARS of 20-20 against this Sri Lanka team
5 days - 40 overs each starting from 7 pm This would (1) Ensure greater viewership (2) Still ensure the match finishes in 5 days (3) Nobody can complain test cricket is boring (4) Nobody can complain oldies holding on to their places and new blood not getting chance (5) And the best part - show a lot of people what cricketers Sachin, Saurav, Dravid, Kumble and Laxman have actually been

Munaf Patel the worst Fielder and Athlete in the world of Cricket, Munaf Patel looks like an old haggard coming out of hospital...........................

Vinod FYI Ishath Sharma has crossed Munaf Patel's record by bowling at 157 kmph in Australia, So Ishanth Sharma is the fastest bowler in Indian Team and in India..........................
Zaheer Khanis looking a patient who has just come out from hospital, Why Dilip Vengserkar has selected Moronic Buffoons like Zahher Khan and Munaf Patel in Indian Team.
Again a shocking/dismal catching performance produced by the indian team.4 drop chance.I suspect india could bowl out srilanka even once.
Regarding India's batting,it would be tested severely by mendis-murali-vaas trio.
indian bowling doesn't possess much of the threat on this slow/low wicket.Thats becoz they do not possess strategic control of the situation by deceiving batsman with some smart,tight bowling.Another is that they r not very quick-witted with bowling scenario,adaptability under flat tracks.recent example is adelaide test.
If srilanka go on to win the match then indian team deserves banging their heads on the wall.

A lot of discipline, application and concentration is needed for playing test cricket - 90 overs a day when batsmen are not trying to do score on every ball.
This team clearly doesn't have any of that at this time....
Bowling O - M - R - W - Econ Z Khan 27 - 2 - 112 - 1 - 4.14 (10nb) Harbhajan Singh 29 - 2 - 88 - 1 -3.03 A Kumble 27 - 3 - 75 - 0 - 2.77 (6nb)
Kumble can't take pressure. He should concentrate on his bowling and hand over the captaincy to Dhoni. Kumble was so disoppinted when catch were dropping. He can't encourage other team members.
Picking up Karthik and Harbhajan shows bad team selection by Kumble.
92.4 Harbhajan Singh to Samaraweera, no run, dropped by Gambhir at short leg. It went off the bat and pad towards his face and he couldn't hold on. Yet another catch has gone down.

Kumble put Gambhir to short leg rather than Sehwag or Laxman. Very bad captaincy .....
I think what will Dhoni Bashers say today? When Dhoni was in the team, he was always criticised and asked him to get out and bring dinesh kaarthik, but wt happended today? 2 catches dropped and we may lose this match with those catch drops. People dont recognize the value when anybody arround . :)

yes. but parthiv was the better choice than karthik. parthiv deserved the chance, which was given wrongly to karthik. n karthik continued his keeping follies.

Actually, we all learnt English from Richard's wife. But - that is not the only thing she taught us. She taught us how to have real fun! What a babe!!
He always looks a part time bowler when he plays in overseas. Where are the guys who thought Harbhajan should be in playing X1? Harbhajan is worst bowler in any condition in overseas. HA-HA-HA.....
