I know cricket is a game of uncertainties.. yet not as much as a flip of a coin.. it is not simple to beat a good cricketing tam.. and Sri Lanka have proved that over last two decades they have been a great force.. They have amongst their ranks some of the finest batsman and bowlers in the world today.. Dilshan has been in the peak of form.. Kumar is elegant in any form of the game and Jayawardene stabilises their batting.. Samarweera proves to be the man on a mission.. With Murali not so effective these days he is still far better than Harbhajan or even all three spinners of India combined.. India can not afford to make spinning wickets.. their best bet would be to provide batting wickets and tha may lead to superfluos drawn games.. which have actually become rarity these days.. some teams and players have taken the onus on them to get the results at any cost to keep the faith of public in the oldest and arguably the toughest form of cricket. toughest may not necessarily have to be the best..
I have been watching cricket for nearly 35 years.. Earlier India was so bad at winning that we Indians used to take pride if or team could draw a test match against some of the ebst teams of the world.. the first great overseas victory in 1971 against West Indies was something like beating the best in the world.. Now the teams like Sri Lanka and New Zealand also find them to be beaten at their home grounds..
India should paly Test cricket if they really wish to do so.. yet I would say if the team looses to Sri Lanka (they have never won a test in India) one should not get surprised.. Indians have been playing awful lot of cricket.. they are human beings and not money making machines that BCCI has been encashing.. Otherwise how can one explain two games for each team in IPL and so few T20 Intl that India has played..
India has been doing much better in cricket after that World cup victory in 1983.. yet we have to win the cup for second time where as some lesser teams have won it more than once.. it is time to think ad act.. We have great talented players but they are not nurtured as well as they should have been.. I am not an enemy of BCCI but then they have to be acting responsibly with heir available strength..
Good Luck team India.. it is going to be far tougher tournament than the ODI series.. Lankans are far more balanced side than injury marred Australians.. beware of the Lankan Tigers
