Great win for Sri Lanka and India were outplayed. Hopefully India can bounce back in the next match.

Naa, I can't. But I believed that Pakistani people are able to read Hindi. Is it a misconception ?

Never met a Pakistani who can read a Hindi/Sansikrit manuscript. Who told you that Pakistanis can read Hindi ?

Indian team got another Intense Phaintee Lesson from Sri Lanka !

Thank god it was on a weekday and not a weekend. The test series has already ruined a lot of days for me.

Dambullas always been a pretty low scoring venue for ODIs. Anyone know what wicket was like today or did india just bat badly?

Jayawardene and Kapugedera had 102 runs "unbeaten" 3rd wicket partnership. Form the looks of it - it was a typical ODI wicket.

It definetly WAS NOT a typical Sub-Continent ODI wicket. It was more of the old fashioned consolidate and protect your wickets type pitch. Definetly had to play out the new ball and wait to put away the bad balls. Along with targetting the middle overs to build some runs.

Deliveries were definetly not coming easily to the bat and there was quite a bit of movement out there for the seamers.

I think we just need to come to terms with the fact that India just don't have the bowlers to compete with this lankan team.

If SL could bat on it, so could Indian batsmen. Keep in mind, same batting line up WON T20 WC and beat Aus/SL in tri-series down under.

Same bowling line up beat Australia and Sri Lanka in Australia recently (except Ishant Sharma).

Yes I understand, I guess what i'm trying to say is...

That it wasn't a typical Sub-continent ODI pitch but in other parts of the world like South Africa or even Aussie it would be a typical ODI wicket?

It just wasn't your typical flat dead sub-continent track which seemingly has given Bradmanesque avg. to many players.
