by the conditions of the pitch, would just be able to bring the test home....I think this is for real, no false hopes! We cant lose from here. And unless weathergods help Sri Lanka like the referee umpire is doing, we must romp home with a fabulous win!...we have won....The second test match between India and Sri Lanka at Galle was full of twists and turns. In the first innings Indian openers gave a good start and a big

difficult for the following team to bat on.Bowlers have had a great time in Sri Lanka as they get a lot of swing and bounce and spin as the weather conditions in Colombo and Dumbola are windy but it was a shame the way our batsmen played and got out to ajanta mendish.Really pathetic,we cant blame toss....K, The toss plays a very important role because the conditions at Sri Lanka arent good and pitch

None....As of today the record of England in Indian sub-continent is not something to talk about home. And, particularly their record in Sri-Lanka where they are yet to win any match against Sri-Lanka.

Yes you are right, tosses must not decide the matches but Sri Lanka have only 2 international pitches in their country. One pitch in Kandy helps the fast bowlers and it is sportive one and another in Colombo which is the worst pitch in my view.

to register a victory against them. Still I feel Sri Lankan team could have performed little better. Iam eagerly waiting for the India-Australia clash. I see India giving a tough fight....Sri Lanka is a bit their strengths to fullest then we could see another debacle. Not as bad as Sri lankas but debacle none the less....Sorry Without Dravid indias chances of withstanding 5 days is bleak....india will win if
