sensible-indian Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 He is a genuine thorn' date=' but only insofar as a draw is concerned. As long as we bowl dry, Silva doesn't have the aggressive game to take the match away.[/quote'] He won't take the game away but can tire our main wicket takers who will be spinners from now on. Once they tire, someone else can start smashing them. But you are right. There isn't much time for him to cause a loss for us.

For us, Binny (based on second half of SL innings performance) may prove to be the dark horse.

Adi_91 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Its high time that India wins. This has been a wait for too long now.
Vijy Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Answer to this thread: Our bowlers and catch(drops). Catching has been decent thus far, barring a couple. Bowlers... well, SA in 2013 always comes to mind.
Vijy Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Its high time that India wins. This has been a wait for too long now. The longer the wait, the sweeter it is (think Lords). Hence, we should hope that we lose some more Tests and then win... imagine the sensations of pleasure and joy that will flood us
HippoSucks Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Even India shouldn't be able to lose this now. However a draw is a distinct possibility, especially if the weather intervenes.

HippoSucks Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Funnily though, until a few years back it was Pakistan who were always unpredictable and could lose from the best of positions. It seems India has overtaken them in this regard, at least in test matches.

jusarrived Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 There is no way we can lose 2 matches to this lungan side . Winning the series or worse case a draw if rain interrupts

HippoSucks Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Option B can still happen. India set Sri Lanka a target of 413 which qualifies as 300+. Option C is impossible since Sri Lanka can not win by 10 wickets now.
Adi_91 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 If two or more wickets fall in the first session tomorrow, SL will not press for a win, which may trigger a collapse as the day goes.
