How Good Is Sri Lanka??....(Or how bad is India)???

Question

HI-No i am not a Sri Lankan supporter,i am a cricket fan who thought it would be good to recognise the great efforts from both Muralithuran and also the 4 batsmen..

If you'd like to know i am actually a Australian cricket fan..

I think it is so great to see a team score so big,Why not congratulate their efforts?...

Answer 1

Gooooooood Questin machan. It is not that you are not polite or harsh. Thats the spirit of the game. Sri lanka is a small country that is 1/60 of india. So if sri lanka lose one day we'll be criticised by 1 billion indians. That is not fair at all. All the credit of this match should go to the lankan lions. ( Even its not over yet )

India is a strong team but they lack team spirit and corperation. They play an individual game according to me. Further some players are over confident. But you never know if they bounce back u can't stop them.

Sri lanka had so many ups and downs during past 3 years. But they came back srongly with mahela's leadership and with new blood in the team. And sri lanka are unbeatable in there terrotory.

So alllll the credit to sri lankan boys!!! Better luck next time to our neighbor!!!!

Scoooby doooby doooooooo.

ROARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

yar sri and specially Murali is tooooo good

Answer 3

india is batting bad

Answer 4

Well this is great to see..

I have to admit  was a bit surprised to hear this score.

Who would have thought that a team as good as India could get their butt's whooped by so much in a first innings too.

To answer your questions

1)India were out played by a great batting side,then Murali came out and supported his batsmen brilliantly..

2)Yes they did get out played..

3)No sorry but they can not blame anyone this time,they as a team have let each other down..

Yes Well Done Sri Lanka..

Can i just say i think it is lovely to see such friendliness coming from this place.I have been in and out of here over the last month or so,all i seem to see is arguments from different team supporters,it is great to see an Aussie show support for another team..

Have a star!!..

Answer 5

@s****. Doo:

I don't think you need to use harsh words towards the Indian team. Sri Lanka were the better team and they outplayed us in all departments. That's it.

If you are a cricket fan, then just have good words for Sri Lanka, no need to create some rift between users in the cricket section.

@Hi:

Plz don't get into any arguments here.

Every one likes their own team and we like India.

So now, let the players prove their mettle on the field.

@Mel and Ange:

I completely agree with your answers.

Indians have kept saying that Murali was a bigger threat than Mendis but, psychologically, Mendis was doing the rounds in their minds.

Sachin and Sourav were playing quite well against Mendis and Murali but both lost their wickets unnecessarily.

I am still hopeful that India bat well in the second innings and Sachin scores a match-saving 145+!!!

Answer 6

Congrats to excellent effort of all sri lankan players,..actually its good thing that,...Sri Lanka again start to show sheer confidence and never give up attitude to their game ,.. its almost like 2007 world cup situation ,..or 1996 world cup to sri lankan team now ,. with all the members contributing ,..now they are rejuvenated and soaring spirits high,...but big expectations may be not a good sign,cus everybody  knows  what happened to India when their team was expected to beat the world,..ummm,.. i 'd rather never comment more on India

LOL~

Answer 7

Um,i think i will say how good Sri Lanka were.I don't think the Indian supporters need it rubbed in at how bad their team really is..

What a day from Muraliduran.Good to see the 'old' fella still has it in him.LOL..

This really is an excellent score-6/600.WOW is all i can say.Not every day you see a first innings score of 600.Great job by the 4 batsmen who scored centuries too..

Gee Sri Lanka did well,I'd like to know the last time a team scored 600 and also had 4 century makers in the same innings...

Yes too bad Sachin did'nt get a bigger score,he fell for 27 ..It will be 1 good thing for India IF Sachin can make it in this match.

Answer 8

It is not that other teams are bad, it is just that Sri Lanka is purely awesome in Sri Lanka

Answer 9

Oh i see poor Sachin only needs another 172 runs to become the highest scorer ever in the history of cricket..Maybe next time little master!!....

& Who are you candy to say such thing to the Master?

When Australia were in pissed position during the first Test Match of Windies tour, did we made mockery of your team?

The match is not even finished & you are making a fool of yourself....lmao......You Aussies have a good knack of striking the axe on your own toe....lmao

Stop calling me lil dude.....Mr Matcho-Man.Why you all Aussies think that someone is weaker than you without even seeing them.Its good to be always optimistic, dude but it wils surely lead you to trap one of these days.

Answer 10

ur just abusing a great cricket team, 'india', rather than asking for someone opinion.. u ask questions... not critisis!

india can flog sri lanka any day...

r u a sri lankan or something??? its sad that u support them.... they didn't even make the world cup!! lol lol

indian cricket team rocks... at lest it much better than the sri lankan!

Answer 11

Before this match, India and Sri Lanka are evenly strong. My computer gave India 87.8 marks and Sri Lanka 87.5 marks out of 100 (achieved by South Africa). Now in the current series, stakes are loaded against India. Sri Lanka are enjoying home comfort. Murali is unplayable at home. Ajantha is a new find and a sensation making Indians wary. Indian selectors bungled by not picking the only all rounder India has i.e. Pathan who played 4 test matches in the last one year, scored 270 runs in 5 innings, and took 9 wickets for 424 runs off 806 balls. Dravid is going through a lean patch (hope it ends soon) having scored 732 runs in 13 matches in 21 innings during the last year which is a far cry from what we know of Dravid. Dravid, a hero of India, normally scores 83 runs per match and 55 runs per innings. While Karthik took some catches, he left some which proved to be very costly. Sri Lankan batting is in sublime form with Mahela, Sanga, Thilan, Malinda, Michael, Dilshan..every one firing on all 4 engines.

This Indian team can not beat this Sri Lankan team in Sri Lanka. I predict a 2-0 result in favour of home team. Great champions of India are unable to take up the challenge because they have the skill, knowledge, experience, performances to back-up and understanding but do not have the youthful inquisitiveness, the hunger in the belly, sustained hours of practice against quality spin attack, motivation to achieve big things (as they had already done whatever required and reached where not many players have reached) and the patience needed for test match cricket. Who can advise them ? Dilip Vengsarkar ? Sunil Gavaskar ? Kirsten ? Ravi Shastri ? Forget it. All these guys are smaller one way or the other compared to the guys who are playing now, each of whom is an institution and a living legend. The only starategy that will work is the one which will be evolved by Sourav, Sachin, Anil, Laxman and Rahul.

India is check-mated.

Answer 12

Well i remember not so long ago when India were touring Australia, India was quoted to steal the number 1 possition.

What was the problem with the umpires?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_njbO1F4...

This is the Dilshan decision, some believe not out, some believe out. If it is in fact out, that's a poor decision by the new system.

Get out played as usual?

Jayawardene knows this pitch more than anyone...he now equals bradman with the most amount of hundreds in one ground (9 centuries). Maybe this pitch doesn't suit the batsmen on the last few days, i think that's the reason behind Jayawardene declaring so late.

What happened India?

Too much focus on Mendis in my opinion. There focus on Mendis has helped Murali pick up wickets. Now remember whether you focus on Murali or not he will get wickets at home.

India have what it takes to draw this test match, i think winning it will be extremely tough, if they intend on doing so.

EDIT: Yes of course as a strong Sri Lanka supporter, I had my eyes glued to the score. Well Done to our boys. Excellent effort.

Answer 13

In today's condition shrilanka is absolutely upper than India in all department. they have mendis,murali and jayverdene. they can change the result of the match in few minutes. nodouts Indian batting is well but our bowling is very poor. Kumble and bhajji also not perform well as they can. at last Shrilanka have benefit of homeground.
