Sri Lanka has become easy target for every team. They are continuously scoring lower against every team. Now 117 runs all out in less than 35 overs amazed me. Australia is little careful in chase which seems the way they took start as well. I think it is another test match which can be guessed at this stage of play when four days are remaining.
I Think this test match will end within 4 days. Yes, the pitch looks like bowling pitch. And Sl got all out in just 2 sessions. Aus also lose 2 early wickets. Now 66/2 tomorrow if SL Bowlers make Aus all out then I am sure this match will end very soon. But Aus have a lot of chance to win this game. Let's see how Aus batsman will play tomo.

Australia vs. Sri Lanka, First test match started. Sl won the toss and elected to bat first. But now Sl is in the very Deep struggle. They lost already first 3 wickets just for 37 runs. The match is playing in Sri Lanka, But here also Sl flop show started. I think Aus will win this game easily.
SL is playing at home, and this is a very bad performance from this SL test team. They already lost another wicket, and the total score is just 59 runs, and all top three batsmen got out for a single digit. It looks like Australia may turn this match towards them quickly if SL bowlers don't bowl well to restrict Australian batsman.
So far it's looking good for me as I put a bet on for Australia to win but as we know it's still very early but if Australia can get them all out for around 150, it will put them in a good position. Sri Lanka have now lost 5 wicket.
Sri lanka all out for 117 and After loosing 2 wickets early Australia is steady with scoring 66/2 and the rain affected the day and it is called off for the first day, Here in this ground rain is the main problem, but seeing the score even if they get 1 more day they will finish this test match, that much turn is their in bowl, if Australia scores above 300+ runs then they can win this match as Sri Lanka is playing with all new players who are novice to the big teams, just like WI has been suffering

What do you all think about the 2nd Test match between India vs WI. Will West Indies come back strongly and put a tough fight or it will the same result as of 1st Test match? Will there be any changes in India side and if yes who should replace whom?

England vs. Pakistan. England won the match by 330 runs. This is a very big win for England. I never expected after the first game win, and Pakistan will perform like this. This is very bad performance. Well, England bowlers did an excellent job. And the player of the match is Joy Root for his double century. Now series equal with 1 - 1. Congratulation England.
Another interesting match here. Australia vs Sri lanka playing in Sri Lanka with Muralitharan in Australian side.
Muttiah Muralitharan: 'If SLC had asked me before the series to be a consultant, I would have said yes. They didn't want me, and someone else wanted me. How am I a traitor?'

Nevertheless it would be a good game probably a draw as both teams are on their fine performance.

England could let Pakistan to follow on but they wanted to be sure to win this test. They were kind having some reservations and were not ready to take any risk even it was clear Pakistan will not win. It is huge winning for England actually Pakistan is not good in test even they won 1st test match. I was surprised to see Pakistan winning even in 1st match how that happened.
i dont understand why england delayed the declaration..no team has chased above 500 in the history of test cricket.they should have declared 50 odd runs earlier.two wickets down and lets us how much time can pakistan keep on defending. i guess the match will be over by tomorrow second or third session.
Allround performance from Ashwin, scoring a century and then taking 7 wickets to fold west indies
.. waiting for SL and AUS test series..hope that one is also an interesting context as SL will prepare spinning tracks to welcome the AUS
Maybe for individual score ? Even I thought the same , there is no other reason I could think of . 500 is the best target for any team , I wish Pak will take full advantage of this and try and draw this match . I think it is very very difficult , almost impossible , but they can . Misbah must be given good support .

Day 4th match started England is batting, and now England leads by 497 runs. This is enough runs to win this game but why still England is batting I am not understanding. If England plays full first session and declare means. Pakistan will get 2 sessions today and tomorrow entire day to chase the target. If Pakistan batsman comes back in the second innings means this match will end with a draw.
I don't know why England is afraid of Pakistani team into this test match, I don't know Pakistan have any chance to make comeback because they are not good on this kind of pitch, If England will declare at this stage than it has chance to win this match by the end of day 4, this match will get finished decisive as Pakistan will not survive against English bowlers.
This is the main beauty of the Pakistan that they are unpredictable, when you think they are not going to perform that time they will show the classic batting, and most of the time 4th and 5th day this pitch dont perform well and wicket is very hard and batting is easy, that is why in this ground most of the game are draw, if pakistan batsman play sensibly they can draw this game.
Congratulation to india for winning the first test with an innings and classic bowling from aswin in follow on second innings taking 7 wicket. WI clearly shown the immature performance from the new players.

India won 1st test match by an innings and 92 runs margin, India has very good combination for test cricket match, Ravichandran Ashwin is the player of the match for his brilliant ton and amazing bowling performance into 2nd innings by taking 7 wickets into this match.
India vs. West Indies. India won the match by innings and 92 runs. Excellent performance from India. And WI batsman showed very poor performance. The great performed by Ashwin first he batted well scored century, and the second innings picks 7 wickets superbly played. So he got man of the match award. Congratulation India.
Great match for Indian Cricket Team . Highlights would be 1. Kohli scoring double century ( First Indian captain to score double outside India )
2. Ashwin's great knock ( Century)
3. Ashwin's great bowling in second innings
Also ashwin's record in test matches is great , he picks up five-wicket haul every second innings he plays .
What I am surprised for is why England didn't let Pakistani team to follow on even there is a mountain of runs. England wants to be sure of its 100% victory by setting up a good total on the score board , this can be other understandable reason. Anyway Pakistan can not save this match by anything. England will make the series equal which means Pakistan in troubles.
Well done India for stunning victory which was obvious after 1st innings of each team. India played with great plan from the start and now enjoying the fruit of that work hard. West Indies is not trust able in test match format specially. Other match is postponed due to weather condition which is good for Pakistan.
Congratulation to team India for their comprehensive win against West Indies . I was not betting in this match and when you dont almost all predictions goes right.I made 5-6 posts in-play of this match here and all of them are gone right including kohli's double hundred, india to win in 4th day,ashwin would be key and some more all of them gone absolutely right.I wish i could have betted some in this match.
