Answer 1

u have to give sri lanka credit they bowled well

Answer 2

yeah...............

4 wickets in 20 balls...............

a total disaster..

and you know what, Rahul wasn't out....Actually, I didn't know abt until the commentator mentioned it....

as the fielder took the catch after the ball had bounced off from the helmet, he wasn't out........

but too late....he had already walked off.............

geesh............I am so diappointed..

but this is what cricket u\is all abt...ups and downs......and it is our duty as  Rahul Dravid fans to support him..........

but tomorrow is a new day...lets hope for the best...............

I sincerely hope that Rahul comes back into form....., that would be awesome, just perfect..............

:(

HOPE FOR THE BEST!!

Answer 3

bigger than mini collepse

Answer 4

I couldn't understand why the big 3 failed to perform yet again! Certainly we know that they have the talent to score high. I can't understand that if Sehwag could do so well, and score a ton, against the same  bowlers, then what prevented our legendary greats, like Sachin, Sourav and Dravid from rising upto the occassion! They should have been a bit more cautious and responsible. After Gambhir's departure,. 3 more wickets fell in quick succession, and now, Viru, and Laxman are our last hopes.

Well, looks like the seniors underwent another bad day! Everyone was in awe of the "dreadful" duo of Murli and Mendis, but surprisingly Chaminda Vaas did a good job today, by dismissing Sachin and Sourav.I think they were quite casual in tackling him, and that's why he surprised them with the breakthroughs. Dravid as usual, got out of Mendis' delivery. Mendis and Vaas shared 2 wickets each. Nevertheless, all 3 of them are tough fighters, and I do hope we see them scoring big in the near future.

As for Rahul Dravid, well, you know that I am not a great fan of him, but he is definitely a remarkable player, and is especially awesome in test cricket. He is patient and hardworking, and so you need not worry! You may expect to see Dravid bouncing back soon. As a dada fan,  I earnestly hope the same for Sourav Ganguly, because he is the first one to be attacked by the critics whenever the seniors fail!

I am utterly disappointed as well, but still hope that the big 3 lives upto our trust and expectations.

Answer 5

mendis and vaas picked 2 wkts each.......

............rain and overcast condns made vaas skiddy and set cat among pigeons in indian camp

Answer 7

That was bcz of Vaas & Mendis but I feel India are recovering again by Sehwag who is still there & Laxman who is looking good.India should set a score atleast over 450!But looking at the start they got,they should have done still better & be at their best!

Answer 8

The seniors have already done enough to prove their worth which we are all well aware.Is it not painful to see our favourites struggle.It is high time they realised it.  

Answer 9

yeah...............

no surprise .all of a sudden 4 wickets in 20 balls!!

typical Indian collaps ,sehvag is the only hope

lol

Answer 10

The elkders once again disappointed Indian fans.  India lost 4 quick wickets, out of which Mendis took 2 wickets.  The consistent failure of such experienced batsmen like Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly is totalu inexplicable.
