SL vs IND: 3rd ODI from Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, Margao.
SL to bat 1st.
30 minutes late, due to a damp outfield The pitch at the Nehru Stadium looks a batting beauty, a good flat one-day track as the euphemism would have it." Other experts feel there's a good amount of runs in this track, but that the spinners may get some purchase out of it later in the day. Lasith Malinga has been rested and in his place comes Dilhara Fernando. Incidentally, the four men who aren't playing for India today are Sreeesanth, Irfan Pathan, Robin Uthappa and Anil Kumble |

Zaheer's really fired up! 3 down for 6! It'll take some repairing from the SL middle order now.

You can watch that Catch here, but it was nothing like the catch of the decade. There have been better catches, it was similar to Kaif's catch ( Pakistan v.s Ind, 2004 Karachi ) |

My inclination is to go with ECB on this one, there have been better catches. But I won't argue that point because I can't quite name specific catches at the moment.

7.6 Agarkar to Jayawardene, no run, back of a length on off stump, defended to mid-off
7.5 Agarkar to Jayawardene, FOUR, overpitches it a bit this time, Jayawardene doesnt get to the length and drives it on the up, but does find the gap at cover for four 7.4 Agarkar to Jayawardene, no run, good length outside off stump, when he hits that spot he's deadly, and the batsman is forced to leave it be 7.3 Agarkar to Atapattu, 1 run, good length, inviting the drive, he does so loosely and finds the gap behind point for one 7.2 Agarkar to Atapattu, no run, back of a length outside off stump, he hops to defend into the off side 7.2 Agarkar to Atapattu, 1 wide, this one's too wide outside off stump and duly called wide 7.1 Agarkar to Atapattu, no run, good length outside off stump, good movement again, he leaves it be Agarkar wants a piece of the action, I'll bet Would he really now?!

Good thing for SL is that M Atapattu is primarily an opener and also has an excellent technique so he shouldn't have too many problems facing Zaheer!

good counter attack by Marvan....reminds of the days of Aravinda De Silva when he used to come in at 4 and play his shots regardless of how many wickets had fallen!
|
|
#30
|
||||||
|
||||||

Not really...India cannot be called balanced....everytime they go out on the field they have a different 11. Call it experimentation or whatever, I say they are still uncertain.

jayawardene with a lofted 4 on the leg side. Good controlled shot.

Atapattu falls caught Tendulkar. I think he's a bit unlucky. It was a good catch none the less.

Good Wicket there of Atapattu.......not really a great ball but good catch
|
|
#39
|
||||||
|

That was a big wicket, Atapatu was looking fluent in his strokes and he was scoring at the higher rate.
|

19.4 Harbhajan Singh to Atapattu, 4 byes, Atapattu walked across the stumps, in an effort to work with the turn, misses a flick shot as the ball turns down leg side and it beats Dhoni as well and four byes result. Not wide but byes as it spun from the stumps and just slided down leg. Dhoni must have been unsighted by the shuffle of the batsman
He has quite a deadly doosra...in the last match he got Dilshan with an unplayable one! |
|
#41

Brilliant catch by Sachin...wish our catching can be this good!!
|

Streaky 4 from Dilshan. If you gonna go at it, go hard.
|
|
#43
|
||||||
|

Harbhajan off-color today. Definitely not his normal conservative stingy self.
|
|
#44
|
||||||
|
||||||

Great sweep shot from Jayawardene. 4 more.
If Sri Lanka want a decent score, this partnerrship needs to last a long time. |
|
#45
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
And he takes Jayawardene soon as I say that
|
|
#46
|
||||||
|
||||||

and now Jayawardene goes.oooh I'd like to see the replay on that. Looked outside off stump.
|
|
#47
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
Is that really out....not exactly from the replays...was hit outside off methinks
|
|
#48
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
I have to say. Bhajji's action is obviously different when he bowls the doosra. Dare I say, there's a definite kink.

Sri Lanka's hundred comes up in the 27th over with half the team back in the dressing room.

Bhajji dealing in 4s now...he has given more boundaries than singles now
|

Great shot from dilshan. Bhajji gives a bit of width, Dilshan rocks back and cuts it for 4.
|

#59

Commies now saying that this is so slow a wicket that 210-220 might be enough if Sri Lankans bowl well.
Since this is India..... this could be true....with Sehwag and Yuvi making up the lower middle order
|
|
#60
|

|

Commentators are discussing what a fighting total would be. Then think about 210-220 will eb competitive. IMO, that's about 30-40 runs short.
|

Another Harbhajan over, another boundary. This time frist ball.
|
|
#62
|

|

This time Dilshan gets a 4 first ball. Off Tendulkar now.
|
|

Dilshan is really a good man to have at 6

12 off that over from sachin.
For the first time in the match, the Run Rate is above 4. |

Only 2 off that over from Bhajji.
|

Sehwag replaces Tendulkar. That last over from Sachin must have prompted that.

Streaky 4 on a top edge. Agarkar almost had the catch but it just went over him.
|
|
#71
|

|

Running has been good from every batsman on the Sri Lankan team. They are pinching every available single.
|
|
#72
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
as expected the 5th bowler is giving IND a problem...they should try to get Irfan in the team and bat him at 6
|
|

|

|
Agarkar is back.

oooh Dilshan got lucky. A direct hit and Dilshan didn't ground hit bat in. VERY lucky to be in.

They keep taking quick singles. This time teh ball goes straight to the fielder and they still pinch one.

So looking at this SL team i assume that when Vaas and Murli get back they are going to drop Kulusekra and Fernando so that will leave only 2 fast bowlers(Vaas and Mahroof).....now that might be a problem in the power plays. |
