Awesome, I hope India loses everything they play. England is already there. Only thing left is for us to pummel the sheep shaggers.

+1. It will be great if we can beat the Aussies 3-0 in the tests. Then the Big 3 have all been given a big "F-U".

Not that it changes the fact that they bring in the most revenue.
 
Big LOL at what NZ just did to India.

94/5 in their second dig; trailing India's first innings by 152 runs - next wicket? 446/6 :D

lead by 325 with a day left

McCullum pawned them :D:D:D
 
The Indians must be well and truly demoralised. Considering they had this in the bag, so to speak. They hadn't banked on McCullum and Watling. They have been completely outplayed in this series so far.

This particular fight back reminds me of Duminy and Steyn against Australia a few years back. Also a lesson for our batsmen about gutsing it out.

Huge kudos and respect to the Black Caps!
 
I'll be at Newlands on Day 1. Expect another 47 all out and then we bat and lead by 250 at the close of play, Day 1.
 
Does anyone know if Supersport is planning to show any of the Asia cup games? I didn't see SL vs. Pak and Ind vs. Bangladesh.
 
Update:

India 264/9 (50 ov)
Sri Lanka 49/0 (9.2 ov)

Sri Lanka require another 215 runs with 10 wickets and 40.3 overs remaining
 
SL now 124/1 after 25 overs.

Sri Lanka require another 141 runs with 9 wickets and 25.0 overs remaining
 
SL win by 2 wickets. Sanga gives then the game with a great century. Wasn't sure if they'd get over the line. The old man does the job again for the team. The most nice thing is that it's another loss to India :)

Abdur Rehman comes in to bowl

10.1
Abdur Rehman to Imrul Kayes, 1 no ball, what is that! this one slips out of his hand and it's gone way up and way wide.. Lucky that he is a spinner

10.1
Abdur Rehman to Imrul Kayes, (no ball) 1 run, another full toss, this one is outside off and what does the batsman do, he slaps it straight to deep midwicket, Everyone is looking around to see the umpire's reaction because this could be a no-ball for height. What a filthy start! But he could get away with a wicket. This is definitely high. It's too high. It's a no ball. It's his second delivery that is too high. Last one was a beamer wide outside off. This is a beamer. This is unprecedented. He is being taken off? No, he will continue. He is fine

He comes round the wicket

10.1
Abdur Rehman to Anamul Haque, (no ball) FOUR, and a third delivery! This is definitely a beamer! Full toss on the body, slapped to midwicket boundary. But this is farcical from Rehman. First three balls, all beamer. Now he is out of the attack. Misbah's ploy of using spin has gone down the drain. Rehman's game is over. What a record this is going to be! Rehman 0-0-8-0

Oh my shattered nerves!!! :eek:
 
T20 starts today. Well the minnow teams.
Interesting watching newbies play. :)
 
Sri Lanka beat England earlier, as usual Ravi Bopara had to save England from the defeat but it was a bridge to far, Sri Lanka won by 9 runs.

Also this was Ian Bell's first T20 match since 2011.

I'm looking quite forward to the test series later on, had enough of the IPL & T20 already :whistle:
 
^ This after they slaughtered the Poms days before. Mind blowing.
