2 nd Test India vs Australia:Match updates

-
It was a good day for India as they were able to get through the innings with just 3 wickets lost and was able to minimize the deficit to 154 runs.

After Australia added on 326 for the first inning,India was in spot of bother going into the lunch at 6 for 1.

It did not take lots of time to send both openers back to the dug out  as Rahul was dismissed for 2

But Pujara,Kholi and Rahane was able to stabilise the inning and ended the day at 172 for 3.

Kholi played well for his unbeaten 82 and Rahane is on 52 at the crease.

Mitchelle Starc took 2 wickets for Australia as Hazelwood was able to take the wicket of  Rahul.

We can say India is on top here and if they can get a first inning lead in this bouncy pitch it will be crucial for the decision of the match.

In Australia's point of view they are 1 wicket away from testing the India's lower middle order which is inexperienced.

It was not a very good limited over season for the sri lankan cricket team but despite of limited over failures sri lankan team managed to show their good performances in test cricket in their last 4 series as follows:

Winning south africa series 2-0 in sri lanka
Drawing west indies series 1-1 in West indies
Winning Bangladesh series 1-0 in Bangladesh
Drawing 2 test matches in India

Currently at ICC test rankings sri lanka is at 6 th position with 97 points and this series will be a very good chance for the team to improve the rankings to get to NO5 winning it 3-0.

In all the success of the test series sri lanka had the main weapon Rangana Herath with them but after first test he is leaving test cricket so sri lanka should try to get the maximum out of him in the first test.As per the squad we thought of suggesting the best possible team for 1 st test based on conditions of the ground and previous performances .Our team is as follows:

1.Dimuth Karunarathne
2.Dhananjaya Desilva
3.Kusa…

Sri lanka missing their best finisher Asela Gunarathne?

What was remarkable in last ODI against England was there was a good start,some stability in middle overs but no one to finish it succesfully or in other words no one to add the icing to the cake.India got Dhoni ,Bangladesh got Mahamadulla but sri lanka? Sri lanka doesn't have a finisher? Nah my fellas sri lanka has that wonderful finisher who did that miracle in  australia  to seal the T20 series  for Sri lanka known as Asela Gunarathne or 'Army Gune' .But never saw him in the show for last few months after tri series in Bangladesh and we never get back into the winning momentum after that.How can we win the race without our best horse or in other words how can we win our war without our best guns?It is time for the selectors to think whether they give him a chance or continue the loosing momentum.

2 nd Test Sri Lanka vs England:Sri lankan team selected for second test.Two new players into team.

It was not the ideal start for sri lanka into the series as they lost the first test but surely toss also played a crucial part in the match as England got quality spinners which was lacking when south africa and australia toured sri lanka earlier.All credit should be given to England for their win but still there is lot to play for sri lanka in the series as two more matches are coming up.

News coming from the dug out is not as so good for sri lanka as sri lanka has to start their journey without Rangana herath in this match and Also Captain Chandimal will not take part in the match due to an injury.Also Akila Dananjaya is reported for suspect action by ICC but he might take part in the 2 nd test as per news.

Team D FACTO thought of suggesting the best team possible as per the views of our viewers and  based on ground conditions and Team.New inclusion had been made as Charith Asalanka former U19 captain comes to replace Chandimal and Roshen Silva is expected to come into the 2nd tes…
