Sri Lanka in India

[sohum]

Though not much shown by the team in the part of celebrations, I am sure they will be celebrating this victory for some time considering that they leave for Pakistan only in June!

You mean January?

Truly, the thrid match was won by Indian bowlers both by the ball and the bat. Laxman scored a hundred but all the rest of the batsmen struggled.

Pathan, agarkar, Kumble, and Bhajji bowled excellently but it was their batting that turned the tables. All the bowlers seem to have said "Heck! If these great world-class batsmen cannot put runs on the board for us to bowl, lets score the runs ourselves".

I think if the opposition was any other team than SL (barring Zim, Bangladesh), then they would not have let the Indian tailenders score so many runs.

I am not taking anything away from India here but spelling a bit of caution for the Indian batsmen before they go to Pakistan.

^ Very true. Add to that the fact that Sri Lanka were missing one of their biggest strike bowlers--Chaminda Vaas. Although it was a nice victory to enjoy, we definitely need to work out the chinks in the top/middle-order. That was the gist of Sehwag's conversation with Arun Lal at the presentation ceremony--batting was still not ironed out.
