India need better opposition

[G_B_]

I dont think we are doing ourselves any favors playing SL

[sandeep]

We are doing SL a favor.   Hosting this test and ODI series just injected millions of dollars into the SLC budget.   

 

Can't just play Australia all the time.  

[OpeningBatsman]

Dnt worry we have another full fledged series against SL @ home in October /November.. If u r not satisfied with that we'll be going to SL again next year for their independence cup...

Sad what has happened to Sri Lankan cricket. They emerged from irrelevance in the mid 90s, and stayed competitive for 20 years. Now they are back to being minnows.

We should schedule a 5 match series against Pakistan and blank them.

you can't go on having top level sport with no prizes or consequences for the winner and loser. two tier cricket badly needed.

[Trichromatic]

Should stop playing bilaterals.

Sl needs money now more than ever

Because of their jihad hate they will compete but it will be pure fun when they get beaten down.

Rohit Sharma and dhoni will be licking their chops

We must play Pakistan in the desert, I desperately want us to blank them and become the 1st team to storm their citadel.

 

Another option is WI/BD. I am very impressed with some of their players and want to see how they'll tackle our gun players. They will offer much more resistance than the Lankans and may even snatch a few victories here and there. The Lankan series in Nov-Dec is a bloody waste of time, energy and money which may cost us the SA series next year.

I think its fair to say we are overplaying SL. 

 

If we have to boost budgets lets play BD Zim etc as well.

Lanka voted with BCCI on ICC's governance reforms. BD and Zim backstabbed BCCI.

Never understand why we dont play a full series with Bangladesh? Surely they are a much better team than SL. I want India to tour BD for a full 3 test + 5 ODI series.

Believe me most friends in my circle want an Indo-Pak series in the desert. Our matches are crazy fun, no matter who is winning. Wish our narrow minded politicians kept politics out of certain sports. 

[kira]

Phateechar team like pak don't deserve a series and if such a series happens they will receive a bigger phainta than what sri lanka received

daft question but what exactly does SL need the extra money for?

To finance Ranatunga's diet program.
