India are playing their last game of the tour. There is no way they can win with a bonus point. That's it--- the tour is coming to an end but India's problems are far from over. Some tough decisions have to be made in the near future. I just hope that the fans stay patient and common sense does the rounds.

64 off 8 overs for the bonus point win then... what a finish thus will be with one batting power play to go.

[The_Bird]

Kohli is batting like a God lol it's well and truly on!!

[kaustav]

It is such a difficult job when you support the Indian team; just don't know whether it's gonna be Hyde or Jekyll on any given day; Kohli blasts Malinga for 24 and India wins comfortably with the bonus point.

Kohli's knock was the best you'll see for a while, as much as I want to dislike him for his arrogance, he is just world class

[legger123]

That was amazing to watch! Felt a bit sorry for Gambhir being run out, he was looking good! However what an innings but Kohli

[Blazer]

It's one of those days you feel proud to support India. India showed the ability to fight back which was latent for a long time. Virat Kohli's batting was sheer display of talent.

Wow India's heavyweights finally fire for the first time in two tours. Mind you it was worth the wait. Kohli is a great player, and may have put the final nail in Dravid and Laxman's coffins. Couldn't believe what is was seeing. Malinga went for 92 off 7.4 overs. Total carnage.

Gotta feel of TM Dilshan, second time he has scored 160 in an ODI(The other was also against India) and lost again!

Funnily enough India had given up on this series and Tendulkar was set to retire from ODIs after today's game!

How did you find this out? wouldn't be surprised if it happened but just curious

Healy, Slater and Taylor mentioned it on air. Tendulkar had said as much as he didn't feel he was part of the plans looking ahead to 2015

[Cover_Drive]

So do you think Tendulkar won't retire now?

There have been rumours he won't be selected for Asia cup if thats the case then that will be huge blow for him

No he will certainly retire after this series. Be it Friday if SL win or after the finals if Australia do Sachin a favour.

I heard from an Indian friend that Tendulkar was told he wasnt needed for the Asia Cup. They want to give Rohit a run without the continual pressure of you're only playing because Dhoni keeps picking you ahead of Shewag/Tendulkar/Gambhir.

[Cover_Drive]

That makes sense.

IT would be shame for Sachin if he is dropped from Asia Cup it will be humiliating for him itself so retire gracefully is a better option for him.

As far long awaited 100th century is concerned Legends are made like that, Bradman got out on 0 in his final innings if he was unbeaten [even a unbeaten 0*] his average would have been over 100!

I have heard that both Sachin and Sehwag have not been picked for Asia Cup.......

So who will open with Gautam? There are a couple of youngsters - Rahane is my best bet.

Would like to see Rohit Sharma, Pujara and Tiwary getting a good exposure

[tushar sehgal]

Well if Sachin goes then fine, he has done a lot, recieved a lot of love and criticism but great player/role model..

Shewag is in on reputation so wont be surprised, i wonder if that is the cause of the whole dressing room tension...neways Parthiv Patel might be an option too for opening but Rahane is a better choice, Vijay might come back too...
