 Test series already having slipped out of Indias fingers ODI skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Wednesday feels losing Sachin Tendulkar ahead of the one dayers against Sri Lanka could be crucial for the team. Losing Sachin Tendulkar at this point of time can be crucial. It is very difficult to fill the space when it comes to Sachin.

 He not only contributes with the bat and the ball his impact in the dressing room is great Dhoni told reporters on his arrival. Players look up to him and he always come up with brilliant suggestion and advices on the field as well. Talent wise and advice point of view it is very difficult to fill in his space he said. Tendulkar who jarred his left elbow while fielding in the third and final Test has been ruled out of the ODI series after he was prescribed three-week rest. Dhoni, however challenged his younger team members grab the opportunity to make a mark at this level.  At the same time cricket goes on. It is upto the guys who have been given a chance over here to perform and to prove that they are good enough for international cricket at times we have seen that when such a thing arises in the international scenario the youngsters come up they accept the responsibility and they take it as a challenge. Hopefully, it will be great to see someone who has just made his mark in the international level to really perform at the top he said. It is one of the toughest places to play cricket. It is not easy. You don’t really see loads of runs in the one-dayers because the wickets are quite slow. You have to work for your runs. It will be interesting.

 Not willing to blame the batsmen for the sudden Indian batting collapse Indian Vice Captain Virendra Sehwag today said all the batsmen fell to good balls though the wicket was playing well. Sachin Tendulkar- Rahul Dravid- Sourav Ganguly all fell to good balls so you cannot do anything about it and they Sri Lanka have quality bowlers.

 Sehwag said after the 1^st days play in which India lost its four batsmen within the space of 10 runs but the opener who was unbeaten at 128 at close said I think 350 to 400 runs should be a good total on this wicket. On his secret of clobbering Ajantha Mendis Sehwag said he picked the mystery bowler rather early. On whether Dravid was out after it looked having hit the helmet Sehwag said he could not pick it though he too thought so and I don`t know because I was on the non strikers end and could not pick it up. I was in doubt whether the ball had hit or hot. But I felt it had hit the helmet. I feel if they Sri Lankans had known about it then it was not the right spirit of Sri Lankans. If the Sri lankan had knew it then I think they should have played with the right spirit and said that the ball had hit of helmet. We were in a good position. The 1^st wicket partnership was around 167 runs and then we lost four wickets. These things happen in a Test match. It happens so many times but you cannot do anything Sehwag said. On whether Gambhir was out after the review took a long time in taking a decision Sehwag said earlier he thought it could have missed the stumps but they replays showed otherwise. I thought it was a googly and then it could have been on the off stump also because sometimes it becomes difficult for the umpires to pick. But then it struck on the middle stump. We just took a chance to avail of the review system he said. Sehwag said the loss of four hours of play did not have any bearing on him. There was no impact on my batting after delay of four hours and but every batsmen plays with a different mindset. Maybe some other batsmen could have been affected by it. But I was just playing my shots.

The world champions of 50 overs cricket and the test cricket no. 1 ranked team Australia is showing no mercy to Srilankans. The Australian batsmen continue to pile the scores. This second match seems to be the recap of first test match.

On a pitch that remained good for batting, Hussey’s morning session was unusually subdued, bar a slog-swept six off Muralitharan, before striking out after rain delays in the afternoon. Fernando, bowling slower because of an ankle complaint, continued to toil and finally brought down the curtain on Hussey’s back-to-back hundreds for 132.

Sri Lanka is really have to work hard to avoid follow on. The Australian pace attackers will create difficulty for the guest team.
