Answer 1

it was boring series

Answer 2

S L are the deserved winners of the series and deserve full compliments  from one and all.

It was a good series with India showing a lot of will at times and crumbling badly at times.

The seniors did well except that they were as helpless as the youngsters and the batters failed as whole against the dou of Murli and Mendis.

Answer 3

It was most boring Test series ever I watched.  There was no interest in it at all.

Answer 4

congratulation india to give better fight than asia cup~

Answer 5

that was gr8 series of interest

Answer 6

Congrats to SriLanka and well done India for the fight back after the loss in I test.

It would have been good if Kumble had bowled the last over/ball for the rival captain to hit the winning run.

A.Mendis will have many followers not only in SriLanka but world over.

Let SL enjoy the series win.

We have something to cheer about in the Beijing Olympics.

Answer 7

india not play their best

Answer 8

NEW REFERAL SYSTEM SCREWED INDIA ALL OVER

Answer 9

KUDOS to sri lanka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

The 3rd test was dissappointing! I really wanted India to put on a good fight! The Indian players totally surrendered before Mendis & Murali! The middle order failed to perform all through the series, only Dravid and Laxman played a good inning in the 2nd inning of the 3rd test but i feel that was not enough! The second test at Galle was single-handedly won by Sehwag and Bhajji...why aren't all players performing together??? I was anxiously waiting to see Sachin cross Lara's run record in test but that didn't happen! Overall - I feel that the Idea test series was quite dissappointing!

EDIT - Hats off to Abhinav Bindra for making our country proud!!!!

Answer 11

the test series was a brilliant series, as also said by all the commentators. this series has been sri lankas hardest fought series for sri lanka in sri lanka for about 2-3 years.

Answer 12

It was a good series.Both teams shown the spirit.And it's evenly poised till the last match.Two sides had their own moments.

The difference i felt b/w the two sides is that,the number of bowlers & batsmen who got to form is higher in the case of Lankans. Mendis is also a major factor

Answer 13

Batsmen let us down and most importantly kumble has to review his bowling as well as his captaincy.and luckily sachin is injured and some youngster like Badrinath deserve his chance who has been waiting for a long time to enter into the ODI squad

Answer 14

I really enjoyed the series. Even though India lost. You have to applaud the exceptional cricket Sri Lanka played.

But the big difference was Mendis. India didn't have a lone bowler that took regular wickets. But Sri Lanka just played much better. Seniors should still stay - they had just one bad series. Its no big deal. They will surely bounce back in the next series. SL deserved the win and it will do a lot to boost their confidence! Well done to SL!

Edit: Today we shouldn't think about the Indian series defeat. We should be celebrating Abhinav's gold medal. He's a legend!

Answer 15

I didn't enjoy the series tht much coz well i just couldn't our players blundering on the field. But i dont get one thing.............why r the seniors being blamed???? Even the bowlers didn't perform that well. Besides dravid and lakshman performed far better thn the others...... News channels are now reporting tht this test series may be the fab four's last one.........man i hope tht doesn't happen

Answer 16

I enjoyed this series because Mendis played very nice and took 26 wickets and in last match Dravid and vvs did their best but india lose that's okay but Congrats to SriLanka
