Yes it is not - but honestly you cant rule out the conditions that help the chasing side here.

Cricket is such a game where toss,condition and decisions etc have a bearing,Inspite of all that a champion team is the one that fights and wins on all occassions.
EDIT:Like Aussies team of 98'-08'.

We are not talking about exceptions here mate. There is not a huge difference between these two sides playing at the moment which is why I give higher importance to the conditions.

Cracking ton from Raina. When it was most needed. i did not like Dhoni's tactics of coming at 5. He will come at 3 or 4 when the openers have set the platform and will always come late when they haven't.

Dhoni is a very clever player. He is using the best condition to bat for himself.

245 is never going to be enough. I expect SLN to win this easily.

Yeah, T20 has changed Dilshan into a much more superb batsman, I don't think i've ever seen someone improve that drastically in such a short space of time.

very true Spinny... he was around since a long time and never looked so good... now he is one of the big three in SLN (along with Sanga and Mahela)

Yuvraj Singh gets the big fish of Dilshan and Sledger must be totally annoyed - he, along with KP, doesn't rate Yuvraj.

A easy win for SL this shows what happens when India's batting fails.

There is something about the Indian team when it comes to the finals - no matter how good in form they are, they tend to collapse on th bigger occasions more often than not.

Yes zuhair and especially on neutral pitches their record is even worse. Nehra's injury was indeed a big blow and I hope its not serious because the way Sreesanth is bowling, its not worth having him in the ODI side. He is too impatient and erratic.
India must be thankful to Raina for having got to 245. At 60/5 in the 11th over it could have easily been a lot worse. Jayawardena played a brilliant innings though. It could have gone either way with 5 wickets down but Mahela's unflappable nature won them the game. I am looking forward to seeing Dravid and Sachin back for the tests though. The ODI series did not interest me much! |

It was an unwanted hastily arranged tournament and I was already sick and tired of watching Ind playing SRL this often. Some good days for the Indian batsmen to brush up their numbers are coming

You never know, surpris comes when least expected Yuvraj looks rusty, I don't know but in ODI he looked out of place.If he is not fit he should not be part of Test team against Bangladesh, but again you never know what to expect from him - pathetic series or an outstanding one.

BAN will play a lot better in this test series I believe. They batted first in all four games so no surprises that they lost, when IND and SLN can't win batting first, you can't blame BAN.
IND will certainly post huge scores, but I think BAN will also be able to fight it out. Remember, they batted really well in 3 of the 4 games this series.

Laxman needs to understand, there are lot of guys waiting.Dravid had a terrible 2 seasons till NZ tour,when he came back to his usual self.Laxman needs to score big and Yuvi needs to prove he is worth the place in test side.The real test will be against SA side.Last time around it was drawn series (courtesy Kanpur pitch).

Raj, Yuvraj was out quite a bit with injury lately so that could be the reason for his form slump - he's a must in ODI's, no doubt about that!
He isn't quite ideal for tests though, I'd played Kohli who looks more to it but I guess nowadays it doesn't hurt to have a belligerent player coming in at 6.

Yuvi won't last in test matches for long, I'm sure about this... there are other very good youngsters who will surely grab that place.
anyways, congratulations to SLN... brilliant call by Sanga (don't know if it was Heads or Tails) but he kept his cool, observed the coin closely and made the right call... terrific performance under pressure...  well I'm not this bad, was just kidding... I must say SLN played well, the bowlers really stepped up, remember batting 2nd was easy, but batting first was not difficult either, their bowlers stepped up and did the Job... super display again by Mahela to see SLN through. IND played well but the fear of losing the finals has once again come back to haunt them! Edited by sam_ahmed - 14 January 2010 at 5:34pm |

I'd rather have a Pujara or a Badri in at Yuvi's place. If somebody deserves a go in the longer version its both of them. They have scored tuns of runs in the domestic season and surely deserve a go at least in the test side ahead of the Raina's or the Kohli's.
Kohli looks ready to don the whites but I am still not too impressed by Raina's technique! He certainly has the temperment though! |

Put Manish Pandey in there.He has everything in his side age, technique, attitude,mental strength, confidance, fearless batting, faith in his ability and aggression.
What we need now is someone who has technique, values his wicket and scores briskly.That's what MP provides, but he is too young, so are many youngsters who are successful. Unless you throw them at deep end you will never know.
On runs count , Badri deserves place before anyone else.Then it should be Puajra followed by rest in any order.
I don't mind even if they remove Lax/Yuvraj(I don't know how long will Dravid last) now and give Badri a go. That guy with 58 avg for so long deserves a Test debut.

The form Dravid's in he can continue for long and he's never been a slouch in the field so that does not go against him as well.
Pandey definitely has all the ingredients but I guess he needs to score consistently for one more season to get into the reckoning. What India will miss once Dravid, Laxman and Tendulkar retire is not just the experience and the class in batting, we will miss 3 quality slip fielders! |
