this match is so obvious, whenever India needs a win or a morale boost, lankans give it away, example: World cup. lankans got paid, just look at the way they bowled, ridiculous and so obvious. this is ruining cricket.

but how much pay ? lankans desperately want to win CB trophy once ! by losing they have drastically reduced their chances.

there is no money that can compensate for World cup final win. these lankans are also earning lot. a few crores is not going to be enough for them to drop match.
only PaKis are like that..have lot of money but still fix match for $100,000

most of them are not even getting paid these lankans. Their captain just after landing in australia has told that most of them are playing in this tour bcos of the love for the game cos most of them are not getting paid.

Hats off to you.............I stop watching and thought that was it after S L made 320.Checked the score in the morning and surprised to see that India have won the match.Each and every player should play with the sprit like Virat Kohli.Thanks again
let us celebrate first, because such moments are few and far between abroad (excluding Bangladesh). NOW PONDER, why Herath was not given the ball more than 4 over with the most economical figure today ? Malinga got battered in the 1st spell and again brought back. 3 hits went thru the same area in one over, as if the fielders were taken off-duty from the same areas ! Even Mathews was not too expensive. Please dont forget that for the benefit of the sponsors, >Billion people must have continued interest to watch the last match even if it being played by two other teams !

never mind. Malinga is their best bowler. Even if he gave runs he needed some confidence as he is crucial for next match. Thats the reason commentators were saying. The captain wanted to give soe confidence after all he was Malinga and hardly he goes for runs like this....
A team which cudnt score 200 runs, it wud hv been considered a miracle, had they scored 320 even in 50 overs, is chasing it in 36 overs!!! Amazing!!! But for this, bcci has to come into picture, to bail out lankan board from monetary crisis, n give incentives to lankan players who hvnt been paid since last 1 year!!! Only G_0_D_ knows the answer!

If India loses the players are useless! If India wins BCCI fixed the match! Wonderful logic! Pls join congress!
Its very easy to belittle the win saying it was a batting pitch - it doesn't matter how good the pitch was - Getting 320 in 36 overs will no mean achievement adding to the fact that the Sri Lankans saved close to 20 runs with their brilliant fielding!
But this one win does not mean India is back on track - What India needed to do rite from first test match was play aggressive cricket which they unfortunately did not do! Yday they had no choice and boy it was refreshing to see Sachin go after Kulasekara and Co instead of playing like a school boy!
