Rohit Sharma GONE for 3 LBW Kulasekara

Although he was hit outside the line of off-stump, it is debatable whether he was offering a shot with his bat hiding behind the pad..... OUT IMO.

Ball was missing the off stumps by 6 inches in Hawkeye replay.

Even Kohli LBW was very marginal... ball was barely hitting outside of leg stump in Hawkeye replay.

But both looked out seeing it real-time and the first time, which the umpire sees. don't agree with virtual eye on both.

Disagree... Sharma LBW did not look out even in real time... at least to me... and umpires are supposed to be better than us in making judgments.  ;)

argument will be it was a dead rubber..but it does raise few points..one being that toss is imp on this ground and chasing is difficult..secondly yes we have mastered mendis specially ys..rs is an exeptional talent should be replacing the oldies soon..sr after playing a few good knocks does not prove his credentials of having a good temperment by throwing his wicket(overconfidence)...gg well we can excuse him as he did play well recently ..and on a serious note badri was dropped for reasong beyond cricket and which completely didnt make sense and does speak a lot about msd and his thought process..in a negative way ofcourse..

ODI Rankings

Aus    130
SA     120
NZ     116
Eng    114
Ind     113
Pak     110
SL      105

If Eng win the next 2 games vs. SA, they may be #2 ODI team in the world  :o :o :o

Is there any doubt anymore that Dhoni DOES NOT LIKE Badri !!!!!!!!! looks like Badri has played his last international game.....
No idea about that but I think we must not forget that in the pecking order Badri comes after Rohit. He only made the squad because of SRT's withdrawal. Also I am not sure he did his cause any good with the last two innings after a good beginning in the first game. Given a choice I think Dhoni will always go for the younger player. At least that is how he comes across to me. I too would have liked to see Badri bat.
Well looks like Badri's career is going down the drain.... seems very analogous to Badani's career a few years back. SG prefered others over Badani, MSD is prefering others over Badri  :( >:( :( >:(

On hindsight by missing this game Badri may have just kick started his career while Rohit Sharma seems to have floundered. ;D
