Do we need to witness *this pos* SL team do a Historic First Ever win on Indian soil?

Will Indian players rise up to perform and prevent this glorious thing from happening!?

SL will get bowled out with a lead of around nd 50-60 runs and then we will come and pile 350 and declare and win in the last hour of day 5.

If federer can lose to goffin then everything is possible

I am surprised by this stat. Really tough to beleive they could not even win one test match in India with Mahela, Sanga, Murali. Shows how bad the remaining players must have performed on their tours over here.

Actually we don't have much time left in the match to force a result for Indian victory unless we get a heap of wickets on the 4th morning. If Sri Lanka can survive up to an hour in the post-lunch session with a lead of 100 runs, it is curtains for Indian victory. However, India can likely pull a draw by scoring a 350ish in second innings by the tea of day 5 and bat Sri Lanka out of the match.

I think Murali record in India is as bad as herath and he averages something like 47

Not happening, we will at worst win 2-1 or 1-0. I am more inclined towards 2-0.

Haven't checked Muralis stats in India. But yes , if that is 47 in India, then it is bad. Certainly not fits for the world class bowler he was. But then even Warnie struggled against us.

Irony is that some lallus like Udal, Panesar, Price, O Keefe have shocked us here but the 2 GOAT contenders  Murali and Warne both struggled.

Michael Clarke took 6 for 9 at Mumbai. Udal too bowled some career best spells he has ever bowled.

Monty and Swann bowled the most superb bowling spells in tandem in India in 2011.

It happens with almost every batsman or bowler that there will be one or couple of countries where they are below average even though they have been exceptional players.

Pathetic drama queen

But if we concede no more then 80 run lead we will win ( rain permitting )

2-1 means SL has one test win. That's what we are talking about here. So far, in history, SL has not won a single Test match in India. It will be historical if that ever happens in this series.

Sorry I misread it as series win for Lanka.  

[nevada]

It is just a game, not war. Whoever plays better wins. If SL win this game, they will be desrved winners. You can fluke a T20 or ODI win but not a test match win.
