Sri Lanka begin their home series against India yet another time. Poor islanders. They did not have a single Test team to tour them this year until India agreed to cos they need to defend their no 1 rankings. Despite having a so called great bowler in their ranks, their team is unwarranted in most Test playing countries. SA, Australia hate them to be playing in their home turf. Reason : they play negative crickat.
And nothing of that sort is going to change today.
Run piling pitches would be the highlight of the day and then even a flat track bully like Samarweera would make hundreds making us feel he is batting great.
We would hear lot of character stuff from Sanga, whose utterances are termed as articulate by media. We would hear how SL is playing good krickat and is ready to have fun in the middle by Mahila Jaywardhena. Lasith Malinga would break done in middle and Lehar Pepsi (whats his name ?) would make a hundred along side SL's Karthik -- Dinesh.
For India, the bowlers would post a sorry picture. They dont have good bowlers except Ishant Sharma and Harbhajan SIngh.
Mithun is at best a medium pacer. I hope he turns his detractors wrong, which would be good for India. Munaf Patel is as listless and disintrested in the middle as Srikanth is to chose CP in the Test side or looking beyond Chennai for team selections.
So the onus is again on the top 6 or 7 of the Indian batting lineup to score and try force a result. SL batsmen would look for runathons and batting records. Going to be a yawning series as anything down in Lanka is such a yawn!!!!!!!!
