India tour of Sri Lanka is uncertain

India has stopped the tour on Pakistan after the massive Mumbai terrorist attack during the cricket match along with England in the home soil. Now, Indian cricket team has not tour in with in tow month that is why BCCI has proposed to Sri Lanka to host an ODI series whenever Sri Lanka has also been stopped their tour of Pakistan.

 

CricketNext reported:

According to Chief Administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty of the BCCI, there has been no official communication with the Sri Lankan Cricket board in this regard.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has stepped in to tour Pakistan. But their Sports Minister said on Sunday that the tour would be split with Sri Lanka returning home after the one-dayers to play five games against India.

 

Although the time schedule is not fixed yet, even the Sri Lanka did not show any green signal to the BCCI. Most probably, both the counties are thinking positively about the ODI series. On the other side, India has a tour of New Zealand on 06 Mar 2009. BCCI has requested to the New Zealand Cricket to add one test match during the tour. 

India vs Sri Lanka 5th ODI and Vaas’s 400 wickets

Sri Lankan seamier Vaas is the 4th blower in the world who has acquired 400 wickets in the ODI cricket. He achieve this title during he match alongside India during the Idea Cup Cricket tournament that was hosted by Sri Lanka. Before him only three blowers was titled considered on Wasim Akram (Pak), M Muralitharan (Asia/ICC/SL) and Waqar Younis (Pak). During the 4th ODI, by dismissing Yuvraj Singh he has come to the 4 hundred family. He is the second bowler after M Muralitharan who has achieve 400 wickets in ODI.

He is one of three bowlers to have taken two hat-tricks in ODIs, Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq being the other two.

India vs Sri Lanka: live score, buzz and reviews 4th ODI

Ten Sports and Zee Sports are telecasting live the Idea Cup Cricket between India and Sri Lanka but Doordarsha is not. Anyway it is an important thing for the cricket fan home and abroad. Beside it, there are some important things about the previous match of the both team. In the two teams you could examine that the top order batsman are totally failure to move the team in a big score. Do you think that it is a big problem or the condition of Pitch of the Ground is the main fact?

I think this is not a big excuse to stretch the team in the long score. After Sachin Tendulka, Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag, Indian selection board did not get anyone who can dominate the opening bowler well. But most important thing is that against Sri Lanka it is almost impossible against the left-arm bowler Chaminda Vaas. On the other hand, new spinner Ajantha Mendis is a panic for Indian batsmen from Asia Cup Cricket Championship.

Similarly for the Sir Lankan batsmen, opener ST Jayasuriya and Kumara Sangakara is thoroughly failed to show their little performance in the last ODI matches in the five matches’ series. Those are depressed all the cricket fans of the Asian Cricket Champion Sri Lankan fans. Is it meaning that Cricket Giant batsmen ST Jayasuriya’s day has gone to end? I think it is not at all.

The Cricket Pitch of the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo is similar to the previous match. So, the luck is on the toss. Cricket intelligent thinks that the turning point of the match result is depending on the winning toss. They are also telling the pitch will act on the favor to the bowers after the fist innings.

You can visit in the different website to see the text live score, commentary. Cricinfo is the most popular sited among them. Ten Sports telecasting live with English Commentary and Zee Sports with Hindi commentary. So visit the site and enjoy the match.

The next match is match will be held on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 Start time 2.30pm (local time) 0900 (GMT) at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. India is thinking positively and Sri Lanka is trying to come back to the series equal. I think India and Indian fans are trying to dream well to make sure the series result but is it possible?? What do you think and who will win the 4^th ODI?

The third ODI was full of incitement. This is big warning for the Indian side. Sri Lanka always plays a positive cricket all time from Ranatunaga’s era. When he used to dominate the opposite bowlers he looks cool and smiley. It seems that Mahela Jayawardena is a reflection of him.

Last two victories, however, Indian players will get inspiration to play well. They will have to more conscious about their fault and try to avoid any mistake during the fourth match of the Idea Cup Cricket tournament.

This is the players’ lists of both Teams who will play:

Sri Lanka (from): Mahela Jayawardena (captain), Kumar Sangakkara, Sanath Jayasuriya, Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas, Tillekeratne Dilshan, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Dilhara Fernando, Nuwan Kulasekera, Thilina Thushara, Ajantha Mendis, Mahela Udawatte, Malinda Warnapura.

India (from): Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Harbhajan Singh, Gautham Gambhir, Virat Kohil, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Patahan, Yuvraj Singh, Subramaniam Badrinath. Praghyan Ohja, Rudra Prathap Singh.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Timing Third (3rd) ODI

A few hours later India and Sri Lanka is going to meet at R Premadasa Stadium. It is the third ODI of the five matches ODI series. Both the team is dreaming to take the lead with the 3rd ODI. Now the result is 1-1 of five-match series between the two countries. The timetable of the match is a Day-Night match and will taken place at 2.30pm (local time) 0900 (GMT) and according to the IST it will be 2:00PM. This will be Holiday match for India fans.

Sri Lanka has won the fist match for eight wickets when India filed to lead a big score than 146 runs by loosing all wickets just playing 46 overs. To reached the target of 147 runs Sri Lanka has to spend 24.5 overs and 2 wickets. BAW Mendis was crowned the man of the match title strong bowling figure (9-4-21-3-2.33). This is his second man of the match against India in as short time. On the other hand Sri Lankan Captain Jayawardene has secured his 11th fifty against India whenever he was not with 61 runs in the first ODI.

We can not say that the second ODI was totally positive for the India although they got victory by three wickets. I think bowling first was the most positive to level the series. In the Test series and two ODIs where abortive batting is the main caused to get defeat. In this series India has secured some lowest records whereas Sri Lanka hero.

Both team’s eyes are to take lead in the series. Sri Lanka steps ahead to compare the last ODIs winning statistics, including the Asia Cup Series which was held in Pakistan. So enjoy the match.

India vs Sri Lanka ODI vs Mendis and Murali

The Test series result between India and Sri Lanka goes on Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka took the series trophy by 2-1 standings. During the first and 3^rd Test, the unstable batting turn down the dream to win the series. As a key player Mendis and Murali played the important role. This will inspire to take the ODI winning standings. The first ODI match will be taken place on 18 August 2008 at Dambulla and the match noticed as a full day match and according the IST it is going to field at 10:00AM and 04:30 GMT.

Here in an important quotation what is thinking the host captain? Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardena in fact expressed confidence of winning the one day series following their success in the longer version of the game. However he noted that they still need to improve in all areas of the game and is hoping that the players would work hard to achieve their goal.

Although, in Asia Cup Cricket, India played very well and stable cricket match but in final they beat seriously to Sri Lanka. Here two spinners, Mendis and Murali was the best performers especially the debuted spinner Mendis. Now, Sri Lanka is thinking to use them as a turning point and magic stick for the five ODI match series.

India tour of Sri Lanka with Sachin, Singh and Luxman

India Tour of Sri Lanka to play a Test and ODI series in this dam season. To beat Sri Lanka, India is making their team strong by including some experienced players in the declared team where banned Harbhajan Singh, injured Sachin Tendukar and cool man Rahul Dravid and VVS Luxman. All the selection committee members thought to declare the team with the news and young players. But the equation has been changed totally after the Asia Cup Cricket.

The clamour for the expected retention of seniors Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and V V S Laxman in the Test squad led by Anil Kumble has gone up after the one-day team's failure to clinch both the tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup in Pakistan that ended yesterday.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his younger lot of players did not show the needed will and strength of character in the most crucial ties of both the tournaments, the finals, and lost to Pakistan and Sri Lanka respectively.

Now the team is looking better by adding the experienced players although bangla’s talents Sourav Ganguly is not in the Indian team of Sri Lanka tour. It is difficult to say what the India team will do? But it is clear that they will try to dominate the strong Sri Lanka team with a mixed team members and the team will be leaded by Anil Kumble.
