Test cricket.. a real test
Well, this is my first official blog :P and hence starting with cricket right away.. well i dint know that it would be so difficult to get a url defining my subject... and then it was Ajantha Mendis the person himself.. and decided to go with that. So then we saw him at the IPL.. or not I guess not.. then he was reserved for the Asia cup finals and that was the first time we came to know him.. One day internationals .. yes we all can understand.. bad day.. But then when it comes to test cricket we can not give that excuse for sure.. When they started batting first on the wicket that was slow right since day one...I just thought It would be spinners paradise.. specially the slower ones.. And the problem with Indian spinners is they are very quick through the air.. that probably neglects the slowness of the pitch and the ball easily comes on bat.. however the lankan spinners did exactly what the doctor ordered.. actually being their home turf they know exactly what to do..but even then after the first innings.. my personal judgement.. heading towards a draw..but was not to be.. Indian batsmen don't show the will to stand and survive there..but then still cant understand we have the masters and walls and tigers... on paper. when it comes to performance.. they all fall.. I would also blame the bowlers giving off to many.. It just seems like ranji standards bowling.. and the Indians paid for that.. Indian batting line up can not survive 3 sessions.. I can bet.. But I am sure every Indian batsman must have started thinking and dreaming about Ajantha and Murli...remember they took 19/ 20 wickets in the first match.. I dont understand whats wrong with Murli, he is getting better every day... The best result I can predict is 2-0.. lets see... will come up with more soon
