Why do the selectors keep going back to that clown Jadeja? Two no-balls from a spinner and the last one in the ultimate over and Hussey hits it for a six. This guy is super over-rated and now he is getting 2 million dollars in the IPL! The dude has some luck and has definitely videotaped one of the selectors with his extra-marital girlfriend 

[rajesh500]

don't forget.. he was a STAR in the lst T-20 game. I don't understand the all-rounder funda here.. If Jadeja is an all rounder then Raina, Rohit Sharma, Kohli are also all-rounders.. why do you need so many all rounders in the team..  Instead of Jadeja.. they can easily pick Rahane or Sehwag..

[kaustav]

No sane Indian supporter has ever been supportive of Jadeja's consistent selection.

Didn't he just go for 2m in the IPL auction?

[kaustav]

Mindboggling eh?

It had to do with the fact that each team HAS to play 7 Indian players in their squad for any game. So the 'better' Indian players have been given premium contracts on a platter.

[bigboy]

It's certainley making some average cricketers very rich.

India self-destructing once again. Kohli runs himself out in a bizarre run after he had just hit a six. Raina's and Dhoni's dismissals were high school boyish.....lol

You would think that if he has a problem cramping up, he'd be better off going out trying to hit all balls for 6 rather than a suicidal run attempt against malingas leathal throw

Did anyone notice that India won a game!!

I noticed... :-(

Apart from the middle order, India lifted their game a lot... always happens against SL!!!

I think with the current form of the two South Asian teams, Australia will have a field day in this tourney. What do you make of reinstating Mahela as the captain? I guess there were no other options too. I just hope it does not affect his batting; he is such a class act.

I was always a fan of Mahela's captaincy, nice and aggressive for the most part but with a cool, calm authority about it... I prefer him to Sangakkara too.

But you're right Kaustav, him coming back now is more through lack of choice - and first and foremost he needs to command his place in the side as a batsman. I'm hoping he scores some runs soon. As a team Sri Lanka found some ODI form in the last two matches of the South Africa tour - and were slightly unlucky to lose the 3rd match.

Australia should comfortably win the tri-series - I guess I will have to wait and see whether it's worth going to watch the ODI in Sydney! As a fan all I can do is hope that they improve!

All I know is, is that Dilshan really struggled with the captaincy, so it's good that they have passed it on.

You should go mate and bring us back some pics of the SCG

Interesting to see that Peter Forrest will dayboo for Oz tomorrow.
Strange selection - can't see what he's got over Callum Ferguson other than MC's his mate on Facebook....
