The match was gifted to India by following players.
Upul;Third time out without troubling the scorers.
Sanga;Poor form with the bat and now with the gloves as well.Conceded additional two runs by dropping Ashwin.
Malinga;Being very expensive in the context of game and very poor fielding.Not trying to get those run outs.
Mathews;Thanks for 30 ball 17 and 15 runs conceded to to India in the 49th over with a no ball.
Thisara;Cannot understand why he is playing?
Trusted Captain MJ;He has got everything mixed up so far on this tour.He is now getting the treatment from his own medicine..Hope , that you are now feeling the heat that Dilshan was getting?If you are brave enough, come and open with Dilshan and show your colors.If you bat low down, then you must control and finish like Doni.May be you are planning to do it in IPL.

47.2
Malinga to Ashwin, 2 runs, 125.6 kph, Sangakkara drops a sitter! Would you believe it! Ashwin top edged it towards point and Sangakkara volunteered to run across and take the catch, point was ready and willing but he spilled it

Sam, were you sleeping?

What match have you been watching? Ashwin's dropped catch did not cost any runs!

That one is a bit dodgy - some feel he should have been able to collect and throw instead of pushing the ball in for someone else to throw.

Dilshan should take over Sanath's role and score faster

Joint men of the match, Mathews for No ball six and Malinga's 3 run last ball. How come they do it. Oh i forgot the umpires. 5 ball over saved Sri Lanka.

Thanks to Angi's no ball hit for SIX & 30 balls wasted at the back end of the inning when he batted.
