Cricket match prediction discussions

But I don't think Indian captain has got so much talent in leading the team because he got a good team to support that's why they can manage to win the matches. I still think that Dhoni should lead the team until the next world cup then team India got a better chance to win the cup. But Kholi is a good player and need another one to two consistent players like him to win big matches outside India.

Are you serious here saying India captain virat has not the right talent to lead the team, he's a warrior, an executioner and instead of pressing someone to do the dirty work, he does it himself, provokes opposition, chases the target, motivates all the player's, interacts with all, he even got the head coach removed for his team. Former Indian captain, also knows kohli is right to lead and he's just grooming him further, but he really needs to start scoring runs, or he'll be under unnecessary pressure.

A good leader should motivate team members not doing it by himself. I too appreciate him as a player because he plays a good cricket under pressure and never said that he is not a good player. But somehow I feel he is not fully matured to take that leadership position. It is just my opinion and we will come to know when they start playing more matches outside India.

Australia could be going into the 1st Ashes test match with a different looking batting line up as a few of the current players are failing at domestic level while some of the other younger players are playing well like the Australian coaches son Jake Lehmann who could replace one of the failing batsman. Not long to wait now just over 1 week.

As a batsman, he is an extraordinary player, and he is maintaining his form as well. But as a captain, I think he still wants to learn a lot of things from senior players. When Dhoni was handling Indian team that time he did not make more centuries, but he won all format of ICC trophies. he knows how to handle the pressure situation. as a captain I will vote for Dhoni.

Ganguly was one of most attacking captain in recent Indian Cricket history after him Dhoni done great job he was best during his tenure I am really shocked why he step down as captain if they want to change him then need to do first in Twenty/20 and ODI then in test this give good help to Kohli but now its all done he is still very helpful for team and captain

I have already tried several times to predict the results of USE cricket, but I was convinced that it is almost impossible. I'm sure that this game is simply unpredictable and always predictions can fluctuate with an error of 50%. I just do not know how you do it.

England have chipped away at Cricket Australia - XI, taking 7 wickets. This practice match augurs well for their tough upcoming Ashes series.  Jonny Bairstow, the England wicketkeeper was off the field after hurting one of his fingers. England wouldn't want their star players to pick up injuries in a practice match.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st test is going to start tomorrow in Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Indian team is very strong in all position to compare Sri Lankan team. I don't have any trust in SL team that they will win this test match. My fav team in this test match is India.

India is hot favorite for this match but weather is also going to play a key role in this match as we have 3 days with rain and just 2 days we can take enjoy of this test match lets see how Sri Lankan play here after winning two test matches in UAE by Black Magic

India would definitely start as a favorite team as they have being winning the matches in the recent past with SL, OZ and NZ. On the other hand SL would like to forget their home series against India which they lost badly and would like to end up winning here and would act as confidence booster series if it happens.

Undoubtedly India are favorites to win the series , if you look at the records of Srilanka against India at India they have never won a single match yet. And also India is more settled team in tests.

Reasons for new Zealand loss against India, chahal and  bumrah bowled really well and because of rain pitch was little damp and also the outfield.

The Indian bowling as well as Fielding was marvelous, even though it was a short score, they defended it very well. I can't wait to continue the season with Sri Lanka.

This is going to be a good series to watch out for.Sri Lanka has new players who are not much experienced with Indian conditions and would try to do things in a different way to give some tough fight to the hosts.

But most of the sub-continent pitches are similar so not much difference for new players. SL has to do something to get back their form and win some series otherwise other new teams may overtake them easily and these guys may also need to play the qualifying matches to enter world cup. This time they escaped but they continue like this they may need to do it.

The Indian captain Virat Kholi is taking a right decision in selecting his team and placement according to the condition of pitch and the fielding of Indian team is excellent as the young team make all the other country player to get panic which they give opportunity to India to dominate and continue with success report.

But I don't think Indian captain has got so much talent in leading the team because he got a good team to support that's why they can manage to win the matches. I still think that Dhoni should lead the team until the next world cup then team India got a better chance to win the cup. But Kholi is a good player and need another one to two consistent players like him to win big matches outside India.

I agree with MinerHQ because I too think Virat alone cannot handle a team , he needs someone's help and after MSD retires I don't think it will be easy for him and it is only then we can really tell whether he is a good captain or not . Haven't we seen RCB ? Great players but not able to win .

I do agree that Kohli is not the best person to become a captain for Indian team and you got the point correctly. As per Juggy777 he is a warrior then why they end up at the last in IPL points table in last session? If he can play alone and chase runs then why couldn't win for his club? Because he didn't have good supporting team members but in the Indian team, he has a good team and that's why he can win the matches so credit should go to players not only to captain.

First session of the test match between India and SL have being washed out completely. Their has being no toss yet and the outfield is wet due to rain. I think it will be difficult to have the match today due to weather. It would become more exciting as the time goes away the test match becomes more shorter.

First test match of India vs SL is going on in Kolkata.We all know SL is passing bad times and last tour against Pakistan was not good for them.They want to start strongly in India.OTOH,India is on very good form and they have beaten NZ few days ago.And India is very dangerous in home so it will be very hard task for SL to beat india in Kolkata.

Match Update: Play stopped due to bad light, SL took two early wickets of India.India need a big partnership and kohli need to handle this situation.

[sparveenat]

Indian team is having best opportunity to win next world cup. As Indian captain Virat is a man who prove again that Indian team is the best. Ex. captain Dhoni will help in winning the matches I hope this two players will lead the young team to the winning post of world cup. This is my prediction.

Very interesting start of this first test between India vs Sri Lanka just 12 overs bowled and India lost 3 wickets 17 runs on board captain also out now surely first day play is end lets see what happen on second day as India is under pressure after very poor start Pujara is still on with Rahane both need to stay for some long time as in test Dhoni is not available man of crisis

[jassanpary]

With the delayed start of the match because of the rain interruption, Srilanka on the upper hand taking 3 wickets, still believe that though India lost 3 important wickets can make a come back into this match.

Most of the time Kohli have not given any support when ever needed. only other players have supported him then also he is getting appraise as he is being captain, i think Sri Lanka are doing good and they are always strong against India team, so if they win this test match then their team will get a good boost of energy as in last some series they have lost it very badly with all of them.

Just 12 overs  in a day and SL have already picked up 3 wickets. The pitch is providing good help to fast bowling as the ball after pitching is making moment. Thus it is getting difficult for the Batman to play according to the line of the ball. SL would feel bad that they did not got another 20 more overs in a day else they would have got majority more couple of wickets and put India under tremendous pressure on day 1 itself.

Marvelous start by Sri Lankan's, top 3 batsman out in nearly few moments. Virat Kohli being dismissed will put pressure upon their team. Hardik Pandya is even not playing who really is a good player in test as well. Probably about the game result I believe the game will end in a draw, that's a good probability as Weather report has stated it would rain even tomorrow.

Yeah England wouldn't want to lose another player to injury just before the start of the Ashes. Australia also has a dilemma when it comes to picking their 12 man team as a couple of the batsman have been in poor form so it will be interesting to see what team they go in with and if they make any changes to the batting line up.
