  |  The Lankan Lions' Journey The Lankan Lions' Journey  The Sri Lanka Cricket announced the 16 man squad for their tour to India to be held in about 2 weeks from now. After winning the Micromax Mobile Cup in Zimbabwe, the team's morale is high. It was a real confidence - booster as Sri Lanka had rested quite a few of its key players, searching for some young talent for the WC 2011 to be held in the sub continent. Now, the preparations are in full swing. The key players are back, the team is set and is raring to go. On the other hand, Team India would be hoping to continue their momentum after winning the Micromax Mobile T20 Cup against Zimbabwe. They too have brought in their key players back. It'll be interesting to see how the team's fair now. Sri Lankan Captain Kumar Sangakkara said, "Its really nice to see the team doing well in the absence of some experienced. The most important thing for us is that Dilshan is now back in form, and hopefully he will continue it till the 2011 WC. Our primary aim won't really be to win this tournament, but it will be to prepare well for the WC 2011." When asked on the exclusion of Jayasuirya from the side, Sangakkara said, "Its not that he is completely out for our WC plans. He has been a great servant to the Sri Lankan Cricket, and would be certainly missed. I hope to see him back in the side soon." Kumar Sangakkara looked confident in front of the press. Now that he says that primary aim is to prepare for the WC, lets see how they perform in this series against India. Sri Lanka Squad: Kumar Sangakkara (c), Muttiah Muralidharan, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Mahela Jayawardana, Lasith Malinga, Anjelo Mathews, Thilan Samaraweera, Farvez Maharoof, Chamara Kapugedara, Nuwan Kulasekera, Chanaka Welagedara, Suraj Randiv, Rangana Herath, Thilina Kandamby and Ajantha Mendis. India Squad:: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (c), Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Pragyan Ojha, Ashok Dinda, Yusuf Pathan and Saurabh Tiwary. The Fixtures: 1st ODI at Rajkot (Day) 2nd ODI at Kolkata (Day - Night) 3rd ODI at Chennai (Day - Night) Note: This is a story being written after the Micromax Mobile Tri Nations cup held in Zimbabwe has no connection with the real incidents thereafter. The same story is being originally updated on PlanetCricket.net Last edited by Bounce; 18-06-2010 at 11:10 AM. |

| Re: The Lankan Lions' Journey The Lankan Lions Reach India The Sri Lankan Cricket team arrives in India in full confidence. The entire team looks united, strong and fit, except Lasit Malinga. The Lankan team arrived at 10 PM, and a practice session was scheduled for morning 8. Lasith Malinga, unfortunately in the practice session had a cramp. It is still not known how serious the injury is, but it might be possible for Fernando to get a place in the Playing XI if Malinga isn't able to make it. Rest of team looked rock solid. The practice session was quite an extended one for the skipper Kumar Sangakkara. He looked determined and focused, facing spinners, seamers, under - arms and baseball throws. The first match of the three match series is to be held in Rajkot. The teams will soon depart for Rajkot from Mumbai.   Lasith Malinga heads back to team hotel |

| Pitch Report and Pre - Match Presentation First ODI: India vs Sri Lanka, Rajkot Pitch Report with Ravi Shastri  "The pitch looks good, but it surely isn't the usual Rajkot pitch where the ball bounces evenly and has a good carry to the keeper. The pitch today might act slow and low. The heavy rainfall yesterday could add up to the problems. The early start and with some reasonably well amount of wind, the seamers at the beginning will get a lot of movement in the air. If you win the toss, bowl first, put the opposition under pressure and restrict them to a target less than of about 210 to 230." Pre - match presentation with Archana Vijaya  "The morning isn't too good today as they are some chances of the rain, no bright sun along with a slow and low wicket. Sources suggest that the pitch today is not so batting friendly, and the 'out of form' Indian bowling attack might face some problems. The entire Rajkot expects their hero, Sachin Tendulkar to provide a good start with his disciple, Virender Sehwag. Let's hope that the rain God listens to us and we don't see any showers here today. That's all for now, the match will be starting in about 10 minutes. Stay tuned. Chao"  The toss is won by Sri Lanka and as expected, they elect to bowl first. India: Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Pragyan Ojha and Ashish Nehra Sri Lanka: Tillakartne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Thilan Samarweera, Angelo Mathews, Chamara Kapugedera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Lasith Malinga, Mutiah Murlitharan and Ajantha Mendis |

| Re: The Lankan Lions' Journey First Inning ; India Batting First ODI: India vs Sri Lanka, Rajkot Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field first. The pitch report by Shastri suggested that its going to be very difficult for the team batting first, especially, the first half an hour or so. It might just prove to be wrong if the Indian openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag get going. Code: 0.1 Malinga to Sehwag, no run, Defensively played by Virender Sehwag
0.2 Malinga to Sehwag, one run, Great cooperation between Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar
0.3 Malinga to Tendulkar, one run, That was a very risky single.
0.4 Malinga to Sehwag, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
0.5 Malinga to Sehwag, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down
0.6 Malinga to Sehwag, no ball, no run, Left alone by Virender Sehwag
0.6 Malinga to Sehwag, no run, Left alone by Virender Sehwag
End of over 1 (3 runs)

1.4 Kulasekara to Sehwag, no run, Left alone by Virender Sehwag
1.5 Kulasekara to Sehwag, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
1.6 Kulasekara to Sehwag, OUT, Thick edge well taken by Sangakkara
Virender Sehwag 2 (9b)
c. Sangakkara b. Kulasekara
End of over 2 (3 runs)
INDIA 6/1
(R/R: 3.00)
Nuwan Kulasekara 1.0-0-3-1
Guatam Gambhir 0(0b)
Sachin Tendulkar 3(3b) A good start for the Sri Lankans here. A slow start was expected on this wicket. But, along with the slow start, India lost their opener Virender Sehwag (2) on just 6. The Sri Lankans are happy as expected. All seems to be going well for. Keeping the runs down, taking wickets along with Lasith Malinga being able to make in the first ODI. Code: 2.1 Malinga to Tendulkar, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Kumara Sangakkara
2.2 Malinga to Tendulkar, one run, That is very well run by Guatam Gambhir
2.3 Malinga to Gambhir, one run, That is very well run by Sachin Tendulkar
2.4 Malinga to Tendulkar, one run, That is very well run by Guatam Gambhir

Guatam Gambhir 1(3b)

3.1 Mathews to Tendulkar, one run, The misfield by Sangakkara allows yet another run
3.2 Mathews to Gambhir, no run, Left alone by Guatam Gambhir
3.3 Mathews to Gambhir, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Kumara Sangakkara
3.4 Mathews to Gambhir, two runs, Overthrow by Kapugedera instead of 1 they get 2
3.5 Mathews to Gambhir, no run, Left alone by Guatam Gambhir
3.6 Mathews to Gambhir, one run, One more to the total
End of over 4 (4 runs)
INDIA 13/1
(R/R: 3.25)
Angelo Mathews 1.0-0-4-0
Sachin Tendulkar 6(7b)
Guatam Gambhir 4(8b)
4.1 Kulasekara to Gambhir, three runs, Excellent running 3 more
4.2 Kulasekara to Tendulkar, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by Nuwan Kulasekara, deserving this punishment
4.3 Kulasekara to Tendulkar, three runs, Great work by Malinga saved a certain boundary
4.4 Kulasekara to Gambhir, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by Kulasekara. Gambhir didnt have a clue
Guatam Gambhir 7 (10b)
b. Kulasekara

4.6 Kulasekara to Tendulkar, one run, That was a very risky single.
End of over 5 (12 runs)
INDIA 25/2
(R/R: 5.00)
Nuwan Kulasekara 2.0-0-15-2
Yuvraj Singh 1(1b)
Sachin Tendulkar 14(10b 1X4) Another wicket for Kulasekara. He is just rocking. Kulasekara has sent back the Delhi dashers back to the pavilion. Sangakkara seems to be leading from the front and in a wise manner. He knew that Malinga isn't 100% fit, so he got rid of him and bought in Mathews. Everyone knows how dangerous Mathews can be with the new ball. And with Kulasekara bowling in such fashion, it doesn't look good for the Indian team.  Gautam Gambhir walks back after getting dismissed by Kulasekara Code: 5.1 Mathews to Tendulkar, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though
5.2 Mathews to Tendulkar, one run, That was a very risky single.
5.3 Mathews to Y Singh, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
5.4 Mathews to Y Singh, no run, Yuvraj Singh was completely deceived

Nuwan Kulasekara 7.0-0-45-3
Zaheer Khan 0(6b)
Harbhajan Singh 2(4b) It is often said that batsmen should follow Sachin Tendulkar! But does that mean towards the pavilion too. As soon as Sachin got dismissed, the entire Indian batting line up looked an inter - school team. No sensible shots, no perfect time, no mature play, etc. On the other hand, Kulasekara continued his good bowling in the game along with Muralitharan chipping in with some wickets. The Indian team looks in deep trouble now. Just 20 overs are bowled and 7 batsmen are back to the pavilion! Code: 20.1 Murli'aran to H Singh, one run, That was a very risky single.

That's the end of the Indian innings. The batted terribly. Wrong shot selections has caused India to be the price for it. The entire team is dismissed for just 118 after 25 odd overs. All knew that batting on this pitch wouldn't be easy, but nobody expected such a dramatic first inning out of it. For the Sri Lankans, Muttiah Muralitharan and Nuwan Kulasekara looked amazing. Murali picked up 4 vital wickets, including the one of Sachin, who was batting pretty well today, when compared to the other batsmen in the team. On the other hand, Kulasekara has to be given equal credit. He dismissed Sehwag and Gambhir early and gave Sri Lanka a perfect stage to dominate this match. The Sri Lankan bowlers have done their job pretty well. Now its up to the batsmen. It won't really be a hard job for the Lankans to chase 119 in 50 overs, but who knows, we might be in for a surprise here.[color="Silver"] |

| Re: The Lankan Lions' Journey Second Inning ; Sri Lanka Batting First ODI: India vs Sri Lanka, Rajkot Sri Lanka had to chase a small target of 119 runs and that would never have been hard for the star - studded team. Dilshan and Tharanga came out for the Lankans to face the new ball. Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra couldn't do any damage as the Sri Lankans got to a good start. The opening partership between Tharanga and Dilshan was of 50 odd runs, which almost decided the fate of the match. Dilshan looked good in the partnership whereas Tharanga was a bit slow with his start and continued with it. A small ray of hope was visible to the Indians when the turbanator Harbhajan Singh rattled the stumps and Tharanga got dismissed. The partnership was finally broken. Then came in the Sri Lankan skipper, Kumar Sangakkara. A target of 119 was never too big, but whatever it is, the batsmen had to be cautious on such a wicket. Sangakkara did the same thing. He started of his inning quite slow. On the other hand, Dilshan continued his good form which he carried from the Asia Cup. But just as Sachin in the previous inning, he couldn't squeeze out a big score from the start he got. He got dismissed by Praveen Kumar, giving an easy catch to Sachin Tendulkar. The Sri Lankans now were 78 for 2 in 20 odd overs. The wicket of Dilshan meant it was the entry of the "ever so dependable", Mahela Jayawardene. Jayawardene was looking confident after his amazing performance in the T20 WC. However, he couldn't do much in the first ODI of the bi - lateral series. He got out for just 1 run to his name, giving a catch to the Indian skipper standing behind the wickets, MS Dhoni. It was a happy moment for the young lad, Pragyan Ojha. Suddenly, the match seemed to be turning around. From 68/0, Sri Lankan top order suddenly collapsed for 79/3. The next to come in was Thilan Samarweera. He isn't much experienced in ODIs, but all know that is quite capable of playing well under pressure and finding the odd boundary at regular intervals. He along with his skipper Sangakkara tried to get the momentum back for their team. 79 for 3 chasing a target of 119 was never a bad situation, but the Lankans had decided not to give away any more wickets. The captain looked rock solid on one end from the time the first wicket fell, but nobody could actually support him well. The same happened in this partnership too. The second best partership of the Lankan innings of just 17 was broken up by Zaheer Khan when he dismissed Samarweera in a controversial LBW decision. The lankans now were 96 for 4 and the required run rate was not a problem. It was just that they were unable to just stay out at the middle. Samarweera got out and in came the all - rounder, Angelo Mathews. He is well known as a perfect finisher for Sri Lanka. The team expected the duo of Sangakkara and Mathews to finish the things of. But, it was never going to be so easy for the Lankans. At one stage when all the batsmen were getting out leaving Sangakkara at one end, this time it was the skipper himself who got by a beauty from Harbhajan Singh. A well foughten innings came to an end as Sangakkara departed on 13 from 38 deliveries. Sri Lanka were looking in some trouble as they lost 5 wickets for around 30 runs. In came Kapugedara. How could the Indians forget the six he struck on the last ball of T20 WC match between them which resulted in a loss of the Indian team. The Indians knew that this was the last recognised pair and getting one more wicket would mean that they surely stand a match. However, a 12 run partnership between them surely did worry the Indian team. But, it was the Harbhajan Singh rattling the timber yet again to dismiss Angelo Mathews. Bhajji looked fired up. He has picked up 3 wickets, all being "clean bowled". The score now is 110 for 6. Are we in for a surprise? Then came in Nuwan Kulasekara. He managed to score only three runs. Soon he got off the mark, he was trapped by Zaheer Khan for a leg before wicket. Indian team seriously looks to be doing some magic here. From 68 for 0 at one stage, Lankans are now at 113 for 7. The next 3 batsmen are Malinga, Muralitharan and Mendis. Nobody out of the three has reasonably well batting statistics. Lets see what happen. 6 runs required, 3 wickets in hand. It was Lasith Malinga who was sent out to join Chamara Kapugedara. He came in and the ball was in the hands of Zaheer Khan. Zaheer tried his best to get Malinga out. Pushing himself to the extent, the ball simply slipped out of his hands, giving a wide, which was a bonus to the Lankan team. On the last ball, Malinga surprisingly took a single a retained the strike. Pragyan Ojha came to bowl to Malinga. He conceeded a wide as well and the score now was 116 for 7. 3 runs required and Malinga slashes the ball to third man. Zaheer at the third man position is inside the circle and has to do some work to stop the bowl. However, after running 2 runs, Kapugedara forces Malinga to run for the third and finish the things off. Zaheer managed to stop the boundary, but the effort went waste and the batsmen ran 3 quick runs between the wickets. Kapugedara runs with joy towards the team mates after completing the third run. The low scoring match turned out to be a nail - bitter, giving the Rajkot crowd something to smile for. Not much boundaries were struck in the Lankan innings. Infact, it was only Dilshan who managed two 4s and a 6. Rest of the team couldn't even score a single boundary. But, does it really matters! The thing which matters is the final result which went in favour of the Lankan Lions. So, it is Sri Lanka who has won the first match at Rajkot. The post - match presentation will be coming up shortly.

| Re: The Lankan Lions' Journey Post Match Presentation Ceremony First ODI: India vs Sri Lanka, Rajkot Ravi Shastri: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the post - match ceremony of the First ODI held between India and Sri Lanka. It was a low scoring match, no batsmen could even reach 50, but at the end, it was a pretty close match and was quite entertaining. Firstly, I would like to call the losing captain, MS Dhoni to come and have a few words with me... MS, what went wrong for the side today? MS Dhoni: Well, I have to admit that we didn't play good at all today. The batting was below par, there were some misfields too and......and... Ravi Shastri: And what about the bowling? MS Dhoni: The bowling was too good today. Bhajji bowled really well along with Zak. Defending a target of 120 odd was never going to be easy for the bowlers. But, its good to see the bowlers coming back in the rhythm. Ravi Shastri: And how is the team morale now? The WC loss, then a loss in triangular series and now the match? MS Dhoni: The morale is fine. We are professionals and need to adapt to any situation. We have to forget about the past on concentrate on the on going series. Taking one match at a time is what we think. Ravi Shastri: Well MS, nice talking to you. Tough luck today and all the best for the second match at Kolkata. MS Dhoni: Thanks a lot. Ravi Shastri: I would now like to call upon the winning captain, Kumar Sangakkara. A great win there Kumar, the team looks good. Kumar Sangakkara: Yeah its good to win a match against India at their home turf. It was really difficult for us. The pitch didn't have much bounce and some of them even bounced un-evenly. Overall, the batting was fine. Dilshan has always been the man for us in tough situations for us and this time too, it was good to see him playing that sort of an innings. Ravi Shastri: And any words on your bowling? Kumar Sangakkara: Our bowling department really looks good. Murali, Mendis, Malinga and Nuwan are doing a great job. Currently I feel that we have the best bowling attack and has the ability to dominate any side. And, seeing Murali bowling in such fashion at this age is amazing. Ravi Shastri: And any plans for the next match? Kumar Sangakkara: No plans as such. We'll just concentrate on the practice sessions between the two matches and will try to give our best shot. Ravi Shastri: Well played today, Kumar. Kumar Sangakkara: Thanks.  The skippers, MS Dhoni and Kumar Sangakkara during the post match ceremony Ravi Shastri: Now its the time for the man of the match. We saw some thrilling bowling performances from Harbhajan, Kulasekara and Muralitharn, but it was Murali who dominated the show. Muttiah Muralitharan is the man of the match. I would like to call Muttiah to come and have a small chat with me. So Murali, how does it feel to keep taking the wickets even now? Muttiah Muralitharan: Feels great. Actually it feels nice to take wickets at any age, but after crossing 33 - 34, its really special. (laughs) Ravi Shastri: You and Bhajji, both bowled pretty well today. Did the pitch had something to offer for the off spinners. Muttiah Muralitharan: Yes of course. The ball had begun to spin quite early and that helped us. Ravi Shastri: Any retirement plans Murali? Muttiah Muralitharan: I have not thought anything about it as of now. As long as my hunger for wickets doesn't end, I will continue to play. Ravi Shastri: Well played Murali. Go and have the fun with the boys. Muttiah Muralitharan: Thanks a lot Ravi. Ravi Shastri: So that's it from the presentation ceremony.  Muttiah Muralitharan poses with the man of the match trophy Match Highlights: Code: First Inning: 1.6 Kulasekara to Sehwag, OUT, Thick edge well taken by Sangakkara 4.4 Kulasekara to Gambhir, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by Kulasekara. Gambhir didnt have a clue 13.3 Murli'aran to Tendulkar, OUT, What a brilliant catch by Upul Tharanga 25.1 Mendis to H Singh, OUT, Thats out by a long way!!! Great throw from Ajantha Mendis End of innings (25.1 overs) INDIA :118/10 Second Inning: 14.6 H Singh to Tharanga, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by H Singh.
