Dhoni was being heavily criticised for his performance with the bat. He seemed to be treating the match as batting practice.
Ganguly was very unimpressed.

I couldn't see but yes while seeing the scores ball by ball I did get a feeling that he was not even interested in winning. The captain should have words with him. I would take England as favs to win the deciding ODI. |

Sorry Faf but you were not even shy to speak in front of camera that how SA curators should make pitches that don't allow for turn at any point of time in a Test Match. You can run your mouth but you will remain hypocrite for blaming SL pitches and toss for your loss. Your team should learn to play spin.

Well I’ll be dammed, a turning pitch in Asia. Who’d have thunk it ?
Good to see the Windies get a series win against Bangladesh, who it must be said we’re again very poor with the bat. Try as they might, they cannot produce Test Standard batsmen. I remember the last time Australia played Bangladesh and the Bangla fans going cuckoo over Mominul Haque - better batsman than Bradman and Tendulkar regularly got a mention..... 🤣🤣🤣

The ODI batting of England is significantly better than that of India and Australia. It will be a shame if they choke up and not win 2019 WC.
Bangladesh is in regression. I really do not see a good batsman in their ranks. Sakib is their only world class player.

2nd Test, South Africa Tour of Sri Lanka at Colombo, Jul 20-24 2018
Sri Lanka
223/4 * (69.1 ov)
South Africa
So far all 4 wickets taken by South Adrica have come from their only spinner in this match. I am not watching so can't tell but I do rather play 2 spinners in subcontinent.

Plenty of starts for the Lankans - they really need a centurion here. 228/5 now.
Zimbabwe confirmed yet again why they shouldn’t be playing international cricket above T20 grade, Pakistan 1/390 odd with some bloke I’ve never heard of scoring 200*.... Fakhar Zaman ?

on England: Rashid looked like a different player.
hope it continues..
Great to see Root with back to back 100's - he really is the perfect anchor for england.

yep - he has some kind of issue of confidence when he nears 100 in tests and is not getting the amount he should - his converson rate from 50's is woefull.
but those two - even in a different format - will help.

He will make 650 runs against Indian in the 5 match Test series. I am afraid Rashid's success won't continue.
I predict that England will win Test Series against India by 3-1.

Maybe.
However Rashids recent spell is as close to englands best since Swan.
But you know - test cricket in england?
its all about Anderson and Broad isnt it. If they get on it - no side in the world can win.
But not every ground will be totally friendly and we will need Root to balance the side. I don't want him as capo - I would bring Morgan in to do it in all formats.

In other news SA have got back into the match as they have reduced SL to 277/9 but I fear an impending SA collapse.

South Africa has completely embarrassed themselves. Unbelievably horrific display of batting. A fast bowler did not bowl for Sri Lanka in the first innings. Mind blowing fact.
Congrats Sri Lanka on your revival.

Johnson at his best was a very fierce bowler. I remember him terrifying his opposition when he was at his best (was not for long though).
