We must give Sri Lanka some credit as they have fought back well as Australia looked set to gain at least a 200+ run lead but Sri Lanka were able to get wickets in quick time and restrict Australia under 200 run lead. However the lead Australia do have might just be enough as Sri Lanka are already a wicket down and still trail by 162 runs. They will need to bat well in the first two sessions as the third session is the hardest to bat in as its at night and that is when the pink ball seems to play tricks on the batsman.

Nothing can save Srilanka from losing the match, I guess. It's 2nd day stumped and still Srilanka is tralied by 162 runs. They need to bat 2 more days if they want to make a draw, I doubt they will be able to bat 2 more days. Otherwise, I do not see a good thing for Srilanka.

Sometimes just saving the team from terrible score is better than winning or ending up as draw  . So I just say , they should go out there and give their best without worrying about the result . Well its sports , you never know what will happen.

Agreed with you. The condition was worst but now it's better than previous although they merely have the chance of winning.
India started a very good opeing partnership. Sorry for Rohit Sharma, he could not made the century. It's 87 from 96 balls. Well played dear. India seems to get a good score. 173 for 2 after 30 overs. 350 can be achieved. Virat and Rayudu is on pitch.

Still plenty of good aggressive batsmen remain in the line up for Indians , I don't see how they can't score above 330 unless NZ come up with brilliant bowling in the last 10 overs . 14 overs to go and Kohli is set now , anybody thinks he will score century today ? I have a feeling that he will .

I also said that 350 is achievable and seems easier now. Century for Virat is quite hard from this situation although Virat is always an aggressive player. I think he will get closer to century but will not be able due to the limitation of overs. Both of them are playing well, Rayudu seems to play better aggressive than Virat today.

The Australia/Sri Lanka match could be all over today as Sri Lanka have already lost 5 wickets for just 74 runs and still trail by 105 runs. Pat Cummins has been the man for Australia taking 4 wickets so far. Its looking like Australia will win by an innings and runs unless Sri Lank can turn it around and make Australia bat again.

Just noticed it. I did not expect such a low performance from Srilanka.
India played great although I expect the score as 350. Where is the Dhoni hater by the way? He played beautifully. Hope India will win.

I agree with your opinion. Nothing surprising about any of this though. Srilanka have been playing horribly for a long time now and their performance continues to drop as time passes which is a really bad sign for them.

They were destroyed by a wounded Australia which goes to show their poor form. I feel that they need to radically change their lineup if they wish for positive changes in the future since the current lineup does not paint a good picture for them.

India is about to win the second match of this 5 ODI series. they just need 1 wicket, another failure for  Blackcaps's top 3 batsmen and including their middle order. was hoping for captains inning from Kane Williamson, unfortunately, he failed.

It was an overall all-round performance from Team India, everyone contributed and played their part well.


2 mins silence for SriLankan Team.

One more ball and he would have completed his 4 consecutive half-century . Believe me if he comes at 1st down , he is still capable of scoring centuries but well its too late now for that , I am just happy he is coming at 3rd down . Also kudos to Kuldeep for great bowling , we should mention Bracewell as he played a good knock and never gave up.

Bad luck to Srilanka. They have lost by one inning and 40 runs. I did not expect such bad poor performance from Srilanka. This is the same what have done Australia against India. Hope they will over come theie problem and we will see a good match.

It is not about bad luck it is bad performance and they need to find good players to play abroad if they want to replicate their performance outside their home soil,  India did play really well to win the series in Australia and seeing this match we could tell that they are beating every team outside the continent. In the second ODI too India showcased their dominance once again and won by a big margin and if they could continue this form they have a solid chance to lift the world cup this year.

New Zealand cricket team have been trying hard to make a win on the home ground. India played well with each and every player making good contribution to the match. The next match too is scheduled to take place in the same ground. Maybe the next match will be a hard fight between India and New Zealand as New Zealand is under pressure to win so that they get a chance to win the league.

To be honest I want windies team to bat more and exhaust english bowlers  English media is warming up right now they will pull out all gun after the lose.

Twitter fight :michael vaughan and sanjay manjrekar fighting over Stuart broad. Both these guys punching below the belt one reminding that how eng beat india 4-1 and other reminding that england still looking for first 50 over world cup trophy.

England require another 572 runs with 10 wickets remaining. They are buried by the piles of runs hehe.
It will be interesting to see how far they go. WI has two long days not to worried about. The only miracle that can save England is the rain.

Well I wasn't surprised by this result either as Australia have a very good record playing in Brisbane, they have not lost a test match there in 30 test matches so that would be 30 years as they play one test match there every year. The Brisbane pitch is very hard for touring teams to adapt to and I also believe that India would of struggled on this pitch. This win will lighten the mood for Australia after a poor series against India, I expect Australia to win the series 2-0 as Sri Lanka have no answer to the fast bowling of Australia.

None of the test series I am enjoying. Srilanka vs Australia - Easy win for Ausie. West Indies vs England- Easy win for WI. England lost by 381 runs, a big difference. They was not able to bat long time only with the man Rory Burns. I feel sorry for him. He deserve a century.

Agreed , no patience and fighting mentality in any teams nowadays . Just go for it or just leave it attitude , certainly not gonna help Test Cricket .
Kudos to WI for that big win . Holder What a 200 , I loved the celebration and how the audience reacted to it .

England really played very poorly and it was not expected from such a big team. They should know the test cricket better than other teams. Most of the team play less match than team like England, Australia, India. In that case, they should be more experienced.

India is better team in any ground.

Right now they are but I would like to see the Indian team to continue this form at least for 5-6 month so that we can bring the world cup home. Cricket is very funny game

Why bro? Why? Why are you not enjoying this? No 8 ranking team beating the shit out of No 2 ranking team in all department. they were the top team in this test team. I enjoyed the last 2 days thoroughly. it's good for test cricket.
