India tour of Sri Lanka - July/Sept 2017

[LiveLoveABD]

This is brilliant counterattacking cricket from Sri Lanka. For the 1st time in the series they have managed to put some sort of a pressure on the Indians still a long way to go though ,the best part is how they played Jadeja they just don't allow him to settle and used the sweep shot to good effect.

P.S - Not trying to jinx them.

And once again, as soon as you attack Ashwin and Jadeja, they look ordinary! It seems awfully easy to take the 'two best bowlers in world cricket' off their game. This is also a good reason why they no longer present any threat in LOI.

I told you guys one series or one match (When they won against AUS) won't change the fact that Sri Lanka have become shite!

Blessings in disguise for Kuldeep Yadav.

I saw the clip and honestly speaking, it didn't really deserve demerit points. The batsman didn't seem too fussed about it and if you don't let players do anything on the field, it would just turn out to be boring. The case would have been different if the batsman found it to be a problem but from the look of things it didn't seem like it.

Ashwin took 7 wickets in this game. 4 of those were tailenders, 2 blinders in terms of catches and 1 proper wicket.

Axar Patel called in as Jadeja replacement - ESPN Cricinfo

Axar Patel is quite an ordinary bowler. In my mind, he is miles off from being in a Test squad/ team. He doesn't generate anything special, no turn at all. In conclusion, he isn't a Test spinner. What about Amit Mishra?

What about Amit Mishra?

The real question is, why do you need a replacement when you already have a spinner in Kuldeep?

Patel is called instead of Mishra since he's an all-rounder.[DOUBLEPOST=1502292074][/DOUBLEPOST]

Should be tried at least for one test replacing Ashwin.

Given how Colombo's wicket behaved, maybe they'll play three spinners in next match. India often play with three spinners in sub-continent. Only this series has been an exception so far.

Yawn. Give us two divisions, please.

Good ton by Pandya. I thought he was quite reckless with the bat, but he seems to be a mature batsman. This might be a bit farfetched but he can be our Ben Stokes if his bowling improves. He looks quite comfortable against the short ball which is certainly a plus looking forward on the tour to South Africa.

Kuldeep is better than Mishra. And perhaps they wanted someone to replicate the role of jaddu. ( who can bat and bowl ). Apparently, Patel's form is good in FC.

If Kuldeep sustains last minute injury ?

Sri Lankan cricket is at its dying stage. No talents coming up or heard about, the leagues failing big time. Needs an overhaul soon or else one more country down the drain for cricket. I dont understand the logic of playing this team back to back as we will now be playing them at home for same amount of tests. God bless cricket. The

We need divisions soon enough, India, Australia, South Africa, England, Pakistan and New Zealand in one group. Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, West Indies, Ireland, Afghanistan, Bangladesh in other.
