Oh my ! What a beautiful innings that from Mahela Jayawardene. Pity, he always chooses to unleash his blinding genius only on us !! He truly showed the way to the more celebrated players like Dravid and Tendulkar on how one is supposed to bat on these wickets. Of course, reports indicate that the wicket did ease out considerably, but I do not want to use that as an excuse. Brilliant Brilliant knock in difficult conditions.
Anil Kumble - The Only Solace:
On a desperately disappointing day, Anil Kumble's bowling was the only solace for India. 3-41 is a very good performance by any standards. It is great that he has gotten back into rhythm so quickly. I really pin my hopes on him to destroy Sri Lanka on his beloved Kotla turf. The bowling of the other bowlers is a bit of a worry.
A Match To Forget - Or Is It ?
For all intents and purposes, India would be looking to quickly to put this match behind them. However, they would be better advised not to do so. For there was a lot to learn from this match. Most importantly, that the Sri Lankans could not be under any circumstances underestimated. More detailed analysis on the match to follow.
