The first Test begins in Ahmedabad on 16th of this month and SL would try to set their winless record right in this country considered "tough to be in for 55 days". And the likes of Murali will try to set their record right who have played for 15 years in India for only 8 tests and taken only 31 wickets.
The key to win a test in India is to bat big and score runs. 400 is a minimum and given India's strong Test batting order, the challenge for Lanka would be to bat bigger and with the trio of Sangakara, Jayawardhena and Samarweera to bat well and score big. How they are to do that, thats another thing.
Thiis guys toured India in 2005 too but failed miserably. Samarweera got dropped after that tour for long time.
I dont know who their openers are and who else are in the middle order besides this 3.
Their bowling looks thin. Except Chuck they dont have anybody who could seem to trouble Indians. And for God's sake Angelo Matthews and company cannot expect to uproot the Indian batting order.....
