Cricket: India vs SL - disappointment

Rama Krishna Vavilala

1. Sachin misses century 2. Despite of a great start the score is just 292/6. Can someone tell me why? I thought score of atleaset 320+ would have been very easy. With only 292 on board it will be very easy for SL to win esp. since it is a do or die match for them.

That's because recently Sachin has started looking after his personal score. After he reached 40, he got very slow. After crossing 50, he picked up again, but only till he reached 80. After 80, he again started playing very slow, and that really affected our score. And then Saurav came in and took his time to settle in too. Once these two guys got out, it was downhill. It's a wonder we even managed to score 292. Another disappointment was Saurav missing his 50. The poor guy got out on 48. Atapattu got out as I am writing this!!! I'm off to the TV to watch the rest of it.

SL 24/4 :jig: all the big guys out (okay, I'm guessing here as my connection here at work is awfully slow....), I feel sorry for Sachin he missed almost three centuries so far in this series.... - Kannan

Good Lord! It was 14/4 and now these guys have moved to 35/4. JayaSurya is still there.

JayaSurya gone. It looks like there were bad umpiring decisions by David Shepered(How likely is that)

I guess Sachin and Sourav should safeguard their wickets. They are the most valuable in the Indian batting lineup. My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

India def SL by 183 runs :omg: India is now officially qualified for Semis... :jig: 5 Duck outs from Sri Lankan side. No wonder they lost to Kenyans. Congratulations everybody...:cool: Follow live World Cup Cricket scores here[^]
