If you wanna find solace in we not being able to win a series in Aus, who am I to deprive you of that?

PS: In the last post I came out a bit rude, I did not intend to, sorry about that

But.. your India with the biggest cricketing population, and board, facilities big stadiums. Surely, by now you could've produced a winning series down under :P
Oh and a genuine quality pacer.

Scoreline doesn't suggest BD was closer than Pakistan, other asian sides of recent times to get good result out NZ tour, if it weren't for the Brainfarts lead by Al Iceman!

Lol. that's exactly what I'm saying.. brainfart (immaturity, lack of cricket intelligence)...

You need this ingredients to win.. doesn't matter how many time you tour..

If they don't change that soon.. it will be tough for us...

Plus no one going to invite us.. if we don't take those opportunity...

8-0 nil wont definitely help our cause to get overseas tours in Eng, SA, Nz.. soon..

That's your part, right
I never claimed India played well in Australia. You could say the same on Bangladesh - not "once in three years" ...

On facts - Australians are far wealthy (per capita income) than Indians. SL is still a lot higher per-capita income than India. Pakistan had higher per-capita than India till early 2000s, Bangladesh had the same in late 1980s.

It does matter how often we tour because pitches are not same as in our ultra home that is the lovely Mirpur, Dhaka. We need more away tours, it isn't easy to away, Remember the 8-0 hammering India received, not long ago, to Eng and Aus. It happens even to the richest, 'most powerful cricket nation', despite all money, facilities, power/influence.

Those pitches in NZ favoured us man... it was better than expected... we didn't lose because of the pitch, rather because of how silly dilly mistakes... brainfarts...we made.., on real sporting wicket... which NZ luckily didn't prepare... things would have been worse.. we played really well in both first innings... and some of our batsman were able to score runs... NZ bowlers weren't that effective... apart from one test.. second one in the second innings... but if u check... u will find our batsman have fault... so basically we played on conditions that wasn't as we all expected an overseas condition to be...

yes I agree we need to play overseas, but if we can't win on conditions that isn't really pacy/sporting than we have some problems when England/Aus/SA prepare pacy, bouncy, seaming, swinging wickets... we will have bigger problems than..

This was our best chance to actually win... a match or two... but again goes back to our players maturity and intelligence..

I got it now.

Yes we don't have quality pacer, We don't have genuine pace bowling all rounder, Our opening slot is a bit unsettled, We lost to England 3-1 in England, We lost to WI in our own backyard in t20 (Feel free to add more).

Feeling any better?

Geez!! height of insecurity, you people are like

"Dude our Bangladesh sucks"

"So what, India sucks too"

"Yay, it healed all my pains, let's party then"

Mushfiqure school of thought

Insecure? Wow, now your randomly coming to conclusions, all of sudden. If that makes you happy

Let's just say. We know who exactly is the insecure

[horizon]

The thread is becoming non-constructive.

[Roy_1]

BTW let me just make it clear before it leads to any misunderstanding.

All my posts in this threads are directed to that MAS UK dude, I know a vast majority of BD fans are sane and levelheaded, a few fringe elements like him from both sides will always try to create animosity among fans, I will try my level best from now on to not to fall for these baits.

[Shadow]

Now trying to pick names of some Sri Lankan Cricketers at random:
FDM karunaratne
MDKJ Perera
BKG Mendis
AJADDLA Jayasinghe
HMRKB Herath
PADLR Sandakan
SMSM Senanayake
NLTC Perera
KMDN kulasekara
DSNFG Jayasuriya
PGCSP Pussegolla

Its remarkable.

Oh and a genuine quality pacer.

why compare BD's NZ tour results with India's Ozzie ones ?
they ARE different countries you know. may be the flags confused you ?

FYI, we own the 2008-2009 test series in NZ.

in any case, in both 2004 and 2008 we came very close to winning the series in australia. first time we drew it because of our own fielding mistakes (I am looking at you, parthiv) and the second time due to rampant cheating.

btw, we also won the commonwealth bank series 2008, in australia. also the 2008 ODI series in NZ.

p.s. now waiting for the goalpost moving crew to arrive and start its job.

[brockley]

Neel is that why(Andrew Symmonds) the BCCI threatened to cancel the tour to Australia.
He didn't walk he is not Adam Gilchrist.
we know Symmo is a ****,but your board did threaten to pull the tour,which Cricket Australia would have lost millions.
I would watch my views if I were you Neel.
BTW not aimed at you Roy.
Some pretty offensive comments Neel.

[Neel Here]

surely not as offensive as how the aussie team under ponting behaved ??
suggest you go back and watch the match again. was that the only one ?
remember the "catch" ponting took ? there were more.

poor umpiring
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI1O0uwx2Mc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZlOEsMUAe0
cheating
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STek10zrQVU

and lastly the low accusations against harbhajan. the great aussie side was cornered and it brought out their true colours. FWIW, I dont think a team under waugh or AB would have gone as low as ponting's did. great player, $hitty person.

btw, all of that nonsense didn't stop India from winning the next match comfortably.

[Night_wolf]

lol i dont understand.

this thread is about SL tour of SA

how did BD,NZ,AUS and India came up?

stop derailing the thread people

[brockley]

How can you accuse us of fix the series by cheating.
Kumble in the last test was set with 400 and sewhag in form and he didn't go for it.

BTw everyone heard Habajan called Symmo a monkey.
How can you justify pulling out of a tour because you allege we cheated and fixed fames.
Steve Bucknor got the Symmo decision wrong,why did he have 2 walk where is that cheating,
And name any Indian batsmen who walks.

And btw Sachin was guilty of tampering with the ball,so don't give me that clean as white snow.

BTW Symmo is dark skinned,they made monkey noises when he went 2 India.

[Roey Haque]

This Dickwella seems to be a fine striker of the ball.

[brockley]

Heel why didn't India go for the win in the last test,if they won it would have been 2 all.

[horizon]

There's a India-Bangladesh Test series thread. Please fight over there. This thread is all about SL and SA. A little bit off is ok, but not this long.

[NoName]

Wow, Lanka gets a 5-match series with SA, hope they get whitewashed. Need to narrow the gap

I won't be surprised if SL wins a match in the ODI series. Given the confidence they will take with the t20 win!

Personally I wouldn't mind if they did win. I like SL, and SL people are safe and sound too. Only other likeable asian side.

[jeesh]

Difference an individual can make. Can Atapattu take charge before the BD series? :P

[brockley]

Ok Horizon,but Heel mad some racist comments on Australia,was just counter arguing.

Will Sri Lanka win a one dayer doubt it,1 this team is full strength apart from Abbott and Rossouw(kolpaks),and the T20 team was A team players not the real deal.

Similarly when we play Sri Lanka in T20's it will be A team players.

[brockley]

Ngidi out,which is a shame,he has a rep of a ltd over specialist.

[aklemalp]

Proteas continuing their demolition job of the Sri Lankans.

South Africa 307/6 (50 ov)
Sri Lanka 186 (37.5 ov)
South Africa won by 121 runs
