3rd Test: Sri Lanka v India at Colombo

This should be a run-fest with bowlers made to work hard for their wickets. Since 2010, batsman have averaged 41.01 per dismissal - the highest for any venue to have hosted at least five Test matches over this period. Four out of the last five Test matches here have ended in a draw.

Sri Lanka should feel confident - they are unbeaten at the SSC since 2004 and India haven't beaten Sri Lanka here since 1993.

India's fourth new opening combination in six matches fails to get off to a good start as Rahul is bowled second ball.

Edit: Rahane is out now too. India 14/2. Much like in the second Test, Sri Lanka have struck with 2 quick wickets.

Pujara's back. When I first saw him, I was convinced he was the heir to Dravid. Will be interesting to see how he fares now that he's back.

An interesting observation someone had made.We needa keep track of this as well.


Also @TRINIDADDY : Exactly Kohli and Pujara,if they can see off Prasad,who was jagging it all around,they an build up a good total.


Love to see him play.Reminds me of Dravid.A class apart,but yeah,no comparisons.

Looks like Pujara pulled a Dravid today. And Rohit Sharma continues to be the most overrated thing since sliced bread. The guy is a poor man's Chris Gayle, or a slightly luckier version of Ricardo Powell.

He is a liability to be honest.he just can't thrive on stating,i have got the talent and i will show it once in a while.Useless chap,put him as the 12th man,ask him to serve drinks.

I am serious,let him realize the value of his spot.He has to compete to get his spot..

His ass is all pampered now,give it a thorn in the flesh.

Rohit has some fine Records ....dunno whats wrong with his mental side :

may a 7 day Yag from him will help ...

To hell with his records..
I can give it in writing to you.he is just another flat track bully.

a 7 day yag..?/ God,ask him to take a permanent one.Rahane/Rayudu and co deserve a chance than this useless faggot.

Rohit Sharma – World Record Breaker


The first man to score two ODI double hundreds

also owns the record for the highest total in 50-over international cricket

I just took a look at the weather forecast for the rest of the Test and it does not look good. Rain and thunderstorms are predicted over the next three days. A result here might prove exceedingly challenging.
