India defeated yet again

India’s defeat against the SriLankan’s was one of the worst defeats for them in the cricketing history. There was a sense of over confidence within the Indian camp. And everyone seemed to underestimate the Lankan ability. Hats off for the SriLanka for they struck to the basics of the game and really played with great composure. A special mention has to given to Ajantha Mendis. He lived up to the expectation it was no that for a youngster like him to perform so well in his debut test match. There was great reception for him when he came to bowl his firs river. He continued his job of dominating the Indians. I think he is still having the Asia Cup hangover. And Murali, I have no words to describe him. He really proved that he is a spin wizard. Great sense of commitment coupled with excellent bowling. He really did a great job against the strong Indian batting line up. Nonetheless is the contribution of the SriLankan batsmen. They really set the platform for their bowlers and gave them liberty to experiment a little bit. Overall SriLankans played a better game and completely outplayed the Indians in all forms of the game.
