Cricket: Videocon Cup - India vs Sri Lanka

Well, everybody in India loves cricket (the sport). I'm no exception. I was thrilled by the performance of Indian team in the 3rd test match (till now). I felt that last pair should have been given chance to score till they can, when Sehwag declared at 316/9. Bhajji was in top form and could have made a half century, and would have given much needed batting practice to him looking at the fixtures coming up. 509 or 519, there isn't much of difference to either side. Sri Lanka looks set to loose this one unless two of their players hit double hundreds - highly unlikely on a 4th and 5th day pitch. Surprisely, pitch is holding much better than I thought.

I think the fielding efforts from Indians have been slipping below the standards again but couple of fumbles and some strange field settings. They should not let these victories go in their heads. Like Chris Rock says in "Head of State", God bless India and everybody else.
