Sangakarra :headshake: 36.3 Mendis to Dhoni, no run, Sanga misses the stumping chance now What is going on out there. Dhoni jumps down the track, goes for a big heave but misses it completely. Again Mendis, like he did to SRT, shortened the length and the ball skidded in between Dhoni and the leg stump . but Sanga doesn't collect 36.2 Mendis to Dhoni, no run, leans forward to drive to cover 36.1 Mendis to Dhoni, no run, Dropped by Sanga. Dhoni went for the cut shot, edged it but Sanga couldn't hold on. It popped in front of stumps and Sanga dived forward but couldn't reach it :hehe:

Sanga really is losing his skills as a keeper.

"Loss of wickets did us in" MS Dhoni said the failure to have a good start and the loss of wickets at regular intervals while batting let his side down in the second ODI against Sri Lanka. More...

[diegovegaz]

he probably meant 120

[diegovegaz]

dhoni did very well, to take us to 300 it was only our bowling, and ground feilding which lost us the match i am confident, it will be the sole reason, for our series debacle to come we will lose even if we score 500, and keep bowling that stuff to dilshan and co. dilly will never get an oppurtunity like this again

[DomainK]

Make it 20 lashes, will work more effectively.

[Lord]

just 20? we need 50 more atleast

[Andy]

If bowling and fielding continues like dis. Any score will look 20-30 runs short!!

Will miss Dhoni, but captaincy is certainly no pressure: Sehwag It was just three months back that Virender Sehwag had stepped down as captain of the Indian Premier League franchise, Delhi Daredevils. More... Will miss Dhoni, but captaincy is certainly no pressure: Sehwag Last updated on: December 20, 2009 19:31 IST It was just three months back that Virender Sehwag had stepped down as captain of the Indian Premier League franchise, Delhi Daredevils. His reason was simple – he wanted to focus on his batting. A few days before that the Delhi batsman had announced that he wasn't keen on leading the Indian team and had also quit as the vice-captain to allow a younger player an opportunity to groom himself. The 31-year-old later backtracked on the former statement though saying, "I never said I did not want India captaincy. I only said I did not want to be the vice-captain as I want someone younger to be groomed for the job." However a two-match ban to MS Dhoni means that Sehwag will again be back at the helm of affairs. Sehwag will lead the Indian side in Cuttack and Kolkata. It was the second time this year that Sehwag had been asked to take as captain from Dhoni, the first being the second Test against New Zealand at MacLean Park (Napier), where the visitors had struggled to stave off defeat. Ahead of his first assignment in charge, the third One-day International at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, Sehwag was, however, quick to dispel any doubts that captaincy would be a burden. "There's definitely no pressure," he said. "It is not difficult to captain the team because I'm a part of it and I'm aware of the various strategies," he added. For someone who had renounced captaincy to concentrate on batting wouldn't it be an additional burden? "I have been a part of this team for the last eight years and I'm fully aware of what job I am supposed to do," explained Sehwag, before adding, "Whether I'm captain of the team or not doesn't matter, my job is to go out there and score runs." But having MS Dhoni in the side would certainly have eased a lot of pressure. "He is the best player we have in the middle order and it is because of his scoring that we could end up scoring big in both the previous matches. So we will definitely miss him," admitted the new captain. So, has he charted out a plan of action of what he wants from the team considering the matches ahead are crucial ones? "The team should stick together and try to do well in all the three departments of the game, especially fielding," explained Sehwag, before going on to add that Mike Young, India's new fielding consultant is not to be blamed for the poor fielding of the home team in the series. "He has jus come in," defended Sehwag. "It will take time for him to adjust to the set up," he added. He also had an explanation as to why the batsmen had thrived on these wickets, while the bowlers suffered. "The wickets are too good to bat on, no doubt," said Sehwag. "But it is also the batsman's thinking that has changed so much in the modern game that he is prepared to take on the bowlers. "It is up to the bowler to work out a way to get the batsman out," he said. Going by the way the batsmen have dominated on wickets conducive for the same, it is going to be a tall order for the bowlers ahead. And therein lies Sehwag's biggest challenge in his latest stint as captain.
