Welcome to the most boring and useless series thread.

 

[CerealKiller]

Clean sweep all but guaranteed. The tour matches might provide some remotely interesting matches, but i wouldn't bet on it, as Sri Lanka have managed to lose to the likes of Scotland recently, with all due respect.

 

[zwarrior]

This is the most pointless series ever in Cricketing history. Is the squad announced ?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Not yet but Virat is going to rest which he absolutely deserves. I dont mind losing this series but we need to play with a some folks who really need to be given chances like Iyer.

yes for the first 2 tests they are announced.

Also rumors are there after 2 tests Virat will be given a break from the remainder of the series.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Oh I did not know the squad is already announced

 

[Velocity]

Playing against poor opponents won't ever make India a better team.

 

[AliB]

I'd rather loved a 5-match series against the Kiwis.

 

[swacker]

Is it called the boring cup?

 

[Yash.]

Well, don't know why but I feel that the Lankans might, just might give a little fight in the Test matches, although it is very very difficult to beat India in India.

 

[Ahmad94]

Didn't India just play Sri Lanka, like 1 month ago!

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Is it called the boring cup?

Haha no

It feels like BCCI is a girl has friendzoned Sri Lankan Cricket Board, it doesnt seem to remember SLCB when it are around with some better teams, but whenever it feels it is free and wants to pass some time, it calls SLCB. And since, SLCB has a crush on BCCI, it without any self respect, duly accepts.

Literally, Karunaratne is the only good player of this team, otherwise this is a pretty trash team.
