The Sri Lankan team continues to play so well that teams like New Zealand are getting badly all out with them. We have seen New Zealand batting for 88 runs against Sri Lanka in the first innings which was really a disappointing batting performance by them. I think New Zealand team might lose badly in this test match and also they will not be able to cope with Sri Lanka team Sri Lanka team has improved a lot. In the second innings New Zealand team collected 199 runs losing 5 wickets and to reach the target of Sri Lanka team collected in the first innings New Zealand still need to collect 315 runs, I think New Zealand will be all out before collecting these runs.

New Zealand batted badly in the 1st innings as a result of which New Zealand fell far behind. So far in the 2nd innings, New Zealand has collected 335 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. Their batting line improved in the 2nd innings compared to the 1st innings. New Zealand have only 2 wickets in hand, they are still trailing by 179 runs. New Zealand will be all out soon. However, both Sri Lanka's batting and bowling lines are commendable. The Sri Lankan batsmen put up a great performance and scored huge scores. Prabath Jayasuriya and Nishan Peiris both bowled brilliantly.

The 2nd match was a disaster for the New Zealand team. Sri Lanka made 602 runs and in response the New Zealand team were all out under 100 runs. This was a pathetic performance by them. Now they are trailing by about 250 runs and left with only four wickets. It is just a matter of time before New Zealand will lose these wickets and lose the test match.



Although Glenn Phillips is batting on 68 and is looking good at the moment but alone he cannot save the team New Zealand. We are on the fourth day of this test match, so the time left in this test also favors the Sri Lanka team. What a performance by them against a strong New Zealand team.

New Zealand did very poorly in second match. Sri Lanka scored 602 runs but New Zealand struggled to reach 100 and made only 88 runs. This was very bad performance and now New Zealand made 335 runs and they have lost 8 wickets. Even though Glenn Phillips played well scoring 68 it is unlikely he can save team alone. The match is on its fourth day and time is on Sri Lanka side making it almost certain New Zealand will lose. And I think Srilanka will win with a big margin with playing on one inning which they declared.

The New Zealand team failed to meet the run target given by Sri Lanka in the second innings as well. So looking at the batting line, the weakness of the New Zealand team can be found, because every batsman in the New Zealand team has performed badly in this Test match, even though they have experience in the past. Such a performance was not what gamblers expected from the New Zealand team, as all the gamblers who placed their bet undoubtedly lost and faced losses.

Day 3 of the BAN vs IND match has been called off too without any balls bowled, it's been so worst if the first three days of 5 day match has been called off and the only thing can possibly happen from now is a draw.

If you want to see what kind of politics is played between the State Association and BCCI then IND vs BAN is a fine example and one of the major reasons Test matches hardly bring audience to the Stadium.

Management and senior players were against playing at the venue as it was not fit to host a test match but BCCI couldn't do anything because there is retarded rule of "Rotation Policy" and UPCA has the blessing of Rajiv Sukla.

Need serious reform on the rotation policy and test matches must be restricted to only 6-10 Stadiums only.

For the test matches I completely agreed with your views about this because now time for having changes in mind-set and politics which are hurting the game and India badly we need only 6 to 8 test stadiums which can bring good audience, and we will have better results as well.

But, here we have strong case BCCI can't do anything because system is complicated, and they all needed to work on this which is not easy while for the IPL and T20i games we can use more stadiums which are surely good for the State Associations and BCCI both but again it's never been easy to fix these problems in overnight it's going to take long time due to many problems around this BCCI we are having and different political influenced peoples are also having their own interest as well.

The second Test match between Bangladesh and India is still uncertain as the two-day game was abandoned due to rain on the second and third day. Earlier we saw that the Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was abandoned due to rain which was played on Indian soil. Similarly, we are going to see the same thing in the Test match between Bangladesh and India, but this Test match was played on the first day but the next two days were not played.

No Test match has been played at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium for the past two years, the last one being between India and New Zealand, and even that match was inconclusive. Although there was no rain on the third day of the Test match between India and Bangladesh, the field was not played mainly because of the wet outfield. Let's see if the game starts tomorrow.

Day 3 of the BAN vs IND match has been called off too without any balls bowled, it's been so worst if the first three days of 5 day match has been called off and the only thing can possibly happen from now is a draw.

It was raining on the first day as well.
It rained on the second day too.
It rained on the third day as well.

There are only two days left, these two days are likely to rain, which means that Bangladesh will not be able to bat in this Test. The good thing is that Bangladesh will not have to bat anymore and there is no possibility of playing in these two days. Second Test will be abandoned due to bad weather i.e. Bangladesh lost the first Test hence series to India.
There is no possibility of the match being a draw rather it will be abandoned especially only one session i.e. Bangladesh has batted till 35 overs in this case due to lack of light and weather there has not been a single ball so the match will be abandoned.

Day 3 of the BAN vs IND match has been called off too without any balls bowled, it's been so worst if the first three days of 5 day match has been called off and the only thing can possibly happen from now is a draw.

Another day went by and stumps in the match between India and Bangladesh. I think this match is going to draw as just 2 days left and in two days, we can’t see 4 innings. It is the last test match of this series, later here will be the T20 series between them.

I am excited for T20Is because Mayank Yadav has been selected for the T20 series, remember in this IPL he performed well and India got a bowler after a long time who delivered ball with a speed of more than 145. But in the end stages of the IPL, he was injured, but now he has been called for the T20 series.

As a cricket fan, it really disappoints me when there's no play on day 3! It's understandable to lose time because of rain, but losing game time due to poor facilities or bad local management is frustrating. There hasn't been any rain since around 8am, but the Kanpur Stadium management failed get the field dry. A draw seems almost certain now.

Amazingly, Sri Lanka has won back to back two test matches against Sri Lanka very good players team. Sri Lanka scored so high score in the fist innings that New Zealand can’t chase in both of the innings. Sri Lanka home ground was lucky for them, they won on their home grass. Kamindu Mendis made 182 runs that allow his team to win the game and due to his performance, was named as the player of the match. After seeing the first innings of New Zealand team no one can even say New Zealand would chase this high target. What a win by Sri Lanka.

I am still in a shock and it's difficult for me to accept new Zealand that kind of defeat against SiriLankan, it's true that SiriLankan has home ground edge and huge support from track to his spinner as usual which were known the main backbone of thier team strength. While they were the once who change entire things and departure thier high class batter at a very minor contribution to the total target. According to score board black caps only scored 88 in thier first inning which is totally unacceptable as according to thier team strength and surprisingly while allowing them for follow on still they unable to match the required which is.huge ashamed moments for them and definitely will have a huge negative impact in thier upcoming performance and now officially they got defeated by 2-0 lead.

Sri Lanka's Test series win against New Zealand team will be memorable. Winning the first match of this series instilled confidence in the Sri Lankan team players which we saw reflected in the 2nd Test match as well. The Sri Lankan batsmen batted confidently which is why the team was able to throw such a big target. Kamindu Mendis's brilliant batting played a major role in boosting the team's total which made him the man of the match in the second test. He is unbeaten with 182 runs. It can be easily guessed that having such a player in the Sri Lankan team will be very helpful for the team in the future. Now we can say the Sri Lankan team is no longer weak in Test cricket.

On the first day, the match was not completely abandoned due to rain, but on the next two days, the match was abandoned due to rain. Tomorrow is the fourth day and tomorrow if the fourth day's play is abandoned due to excessive rain, but the outcome of this test match will create an uncertain future. It can be said with certainty that no team will win this match with the current situation of the game. However, this match against Bangladesh was very important for India to reach the final of the Test Championship, but due to the current situation of the game, there is a lot of doubt about this match. But still if the two days are played well then a good result can come for any team.

[Mahdirakib]

It was raining on the first day as well.
It rained on the second day too.
It rained on the third day as well.

No, there was no rain on day 3. The day 3 has been actually called off for wet outfield. The drainage system of 'Green Park' stadium is too poor. The match is completely heading towards a draw. On the other side, Sri Lanka has won the match comfortably. They are going to give a tough fight against South Africa in their next test series.

What performance did by their batting unit and then bowling unit firstly they set a huge target then got them all on 88 and forced them a follow-on and to be on the crease again for batting and then out them again on 360 and won this game comprehensively by 1 inning and 154 runs a huge victory against Team NZ

A frustrating day for players as well as for cricket lovers as there is no Cricket you will see either on your TV screens or in a stadium a poor drain system of the ground cause this delay and not even a single ball is played. Its almost going towards a draw and India won the series by 1-0.

The biggest gap was between the New Zealand and Sri Lankan teams, as the New Zealand team could not match the Sri Lankan team's first innings runs despite a two match performance. The Sri Lankan team performed so well that it was unbelievable as they scored 602 runs in the first match, but the New Zealand team could not hold on to their wickets despite a full performance in the two innings and were all out at the last minute. So this match was Sri Lanka's win with the biggest margin, Sri Lanka's best performance in this season.

Exactly Sri Lanka win over New Zealand in Test cricket is huge success. Winning first match gave team confidence which helped them do well in second match too. And you are right Kamindu Mendis was amazing scoring 182 runs without getting out. He was named Player of Match which he deserved. His great performance shows he will be important for Sri Lanka in future matches. This win proves Sri Lanka is now strong in Test cricket and this will improve their reputation worldwide and give them hope for future games.

The play of the fourth day of the second test match started a while ago and India managed to pick up two big wickets of Bangladesh early on. 
Mushfiqur Rahim and Nazmul Hossain Shanto have already got out and gone back to the pavilion. If India can get these two batsmen out very quickly with the two batsmen on the wicket now, it will be a challenging task for Bangladesh to score 200. India will definitely want to bowl out Bangladesh as soon as possible because if the 4 innings is not completed within these two days then this match will be a draw and India will not be satisfied at all if the match is a draw. India and Bangladesh have already announced the squads for the T20 series so we will see the T20 matches taking place immediately after the Test matches.
