Sri lanka has one of the best bowling attacks in the game today.Atleast 3 of their reserve fast bowlers can walk in Indian team anytime,Fernando, tushara and Kulshekhara.Only thing is that they should go out of lanka and play then their batting will be tested.Even Murli in not impressive on hard Austrelian and SAfrican wickets.Can anyone give me the break up of wickets taken by him ?U will see your self.But India deserve to lose this test with bowlers like Sharma And Harbhajan,Arun

Mate, Murali was good on Australian, Englan and Sa wickets. You can check it on Cricinfo web site. Open it, find out Murli's name there and in his profile check his test summary. you will find everything there! Remember his 16 wickets in England when he took 9 in first and 7 in 2nd innigs?

Tamils are far superior. It is only that the Sinhalese are a big majority while Tamils are a minority. You have the quantity but then the Tamils have quality. Unfortunately, in a democracy, Quantity wins!

Ravi pathsinghe You are the outsiders and tamils are the original inhabitants of sri lanka.Classic example of how the ivaders and settlers become majority and outnumber the natives and calling the originals as minority and suppress them.You have forgotten that there are 6crore tamils next door to you. Your arrogance and animal instinct has really been the reason for the rise of LTTE. Why don't you learn from india how to live as equals in a democratic set up. Perhaps it is too much to expect from you.Only solution to the tamil problem in sri-lanka is for india to take action to merge you into india and allow the tamil area to be part of TN and rest sinhala pradesh like sikkim

on the same wicket Murali picked up 5 wickets whereas Bhajji couldn't even get a single wicket.
Useless creatures. Hoping for the rain to come and spoil the Sri Lanka party. Dont guts to prove by playing the whole day. Expecting lady luck to smile. I dont understand why they offered Dhobi 200 crs deal.
Let's face it - the Lankans deserve to win. Let us not hide our faces under umbrellas. For wise men, there is much to learn from defeat. Go for it, Sri Lanka! You have earned this one.

Right Boss ! We cannot win always.We must learn to take defeat in our stride.The team deserved a kick in their backs to wake them up.I hope, this kick will be good enough to wake them up.TEAM SELECTION IS AGAIN A PROBLEM.Whereas, Murli is capable to take so many wickets in his last test, our Sardar is unable to take a single.We call him a "STRIKE" bowler ! Throw this cartoon out and let him enjoy his off the field tricks for some time.Give him some time to reconcile from his fling with the model who probably was smart enough to understand that this guy is not right for her to become a partner.Let him go round in his HUMMER through the roads of Jalandhar to show off how much he has earned at the cost of Indian public.

Yeah...i just can't think why don't they give another chance to Irfan Pathan. ok, if his bowling isn't that much good still he's good enough for no-7 batsman. If Bhajji can't take wickets on spin friendly wickets where can he then? batting isn't a case of concern because it happens sometimes. But, we have to face the truth that our bowling isn't capable of taking 20 wickets in a test match. We don't have seamers who can threaten the batsmen likes of Malinga, Asif, Styen or Bolinger!
There is a major weather crest formation from China through South East Asia all the way to Sri Lanka/ maldives. In fact there are 2 formations. It has been raining heavily. India will be saved and Murali denied 800- for sure

Indian Saint (Please change your name). Nothing can deny Murali 800 wickets. Doesn't have b-a-l-l-s to face them, instead expecting rain to come down.....

I agree with you. But then, I never said India deserves the draw- nor abt Murali. I still hope that the better team, Sri Lanka here, wins!
The indian cricket team deserves to lose and rain will know it. the pathetic northie/oldie team will get finished before lunch.... and hopefully murali should get his 800 wickets...
