India v Sri Lanka Jan 3-Jan 15 2023 (3 T20s & 3 ODIs)

[NYRB]

India pegging them back h ere , SL 110/4 off 13.4 overs.

 

[NYRB]

SL were looking at 175+ minimum at one stage.

 

[NYRB]

back to back sixes for Asalanka

 

[THE A5]

Sri Lankas batting ain't flash and playing Hasaranga at 7 makes it even weaker. They seriously lack a proper all round like Thisara Perera or a young Angelo Matthews

 

[NYRB]

a wicket on a No ball

 

[NYRB]

India are on the tank here, you cant bowl that many no balls without trying.

 

[THE A5]

His new name is Arsedeep now

 

[NYRB]

Shanka 50 off 20 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Sri Lanka post 206 in the 2nd T20I. Decent last over for SL

 

[THE A5]

Shanaka's career strike rate is quite low but boy when he goes off he goes off

 

[ioppolo]

Arshdeep's no balls were literally the difference there. Worse than Faheem Ashraf's BBL effort.

Arshdeep's no balls were literally the difference there. Worse than Faheem Ashraf's BBL effort.

He was meant to be coming back from a self imposed break, and as he is so young probably needed not to be the most experienced pace bowler in the trio. Would have helped if we played another strike pace bowler to ease him back into cricket than asking him have the pressure of anchoring and finishing the innings

in international t20s

 

[NYRB]

WIDE to start things off

 

[NYRB]

early wicket

India 3/1 off 0.3 balls

 

[NYRB]

dropped chance . India could have easily been down 2 here.

 

[NYRB]

back to back sixes for Tripathi

 

[NYRB]

India 52/2 off 5.5 overs

Tripathi has to go

 

[Nuggetz]

*ing Gill. He's too conservative for t20s

 

[NYRB]

India 100 up in 10.4 overs in the decider

 

[NYRB]

Gill keeps picking the fielder

 

[NYRB]

Sky with the reverse slog 6

 

[NYRB]

Sky 50 off 26 balls.

 

[akkaps]

Both of the 6s that Sky has hit behind the wicket are beyond ridiculous
