Tournment Ends

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

BCCI Has announced SL itunerary

Kolkata's isolation as an international cricketing centre is over.


The historic Eden Gardens ground will be hosting its first international match later this season after a gap of two years when India and Sri Lanka clash in a one-day international.


Internal squabbling within the BCCI had meant that the Cricket Association of Bengal, which is headed by former BCCI and ICC boss Jagmohan Dalmiya, was denied international games by the faction that is in power at the moment.


However, there seems to have been a softening of stand.


The three Test matches will be held in Mumbai, Kanpur and Ahmedabad for the series that starts as soon as Australia's one-day tour wraps up on November 11.


Kolkata will host one of the five one-dayers in the series. The other venues are Cuttack, Rajkot, Vishakhapatnam and Delhi.


The two Twenty20 internationals will be played in Mohali and Nagpur. The dates for the series would be confirmed later.

I will not even watch 1 minute of this boring series.

Expect Rajkot to be a slogfest. It has flat tracks and a small ground. Remember what Yuvi did last time there.

 

[SaiSrini]

I will not even watch 1 minute of this boring series.

To be honest, even I am not awaiting this series. I would rather take a break and do something else!

They can play all matches in Sector 16 stadium just stones throw away from my home I will still not watch this.

I am tired of India V Sri Lanka.

 

[Params7]

Sri Lanka never gets tired playing Pakistan and India over and over again.

 

[jkartik]

a series vs pakistan or SA is the need of the hour !

or the best solution - take a 2-3 month break !!

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

[Params7]

3 Tests, 2 T20's, 5 ODI's. Please give it a year after this at least.

[diaskasun]

why is it boaring??? i think its going to be a good one.

diaskasun added 2 Minutes and 47 Seconds later...

It’s the way it has being for last 20 years. India and sri lanka have always had more matches with each other.. and I cant see anything wrong with it.

 

[Mike23]

TBH i too am not looking forward to this series.As jkartik said it would be better if the two teams just take a break instead of playing each other.
