India vs Srilanka live score at the end of day 1: 312/2, Indian bowling lacks killer instinct. Indian captain fails to enthuse his players
Cricinfo has rightly termed Indian bowling attack as toothless. Yes that is true, the way Sri lankan batsmen have cornered a ‘toothless’Indians on the very first day of the game shows that India has much to learn in one department, bowling.
Despite attaining heights in the cricket world that is much to do its increasing large purse, Indian bowling attack has been the biggest worry.
It is haunting it today when two Sri lankan batsmen have already scored two useful centuries while the third one Dilshan scored half century and India has not been able to oust more than two batsmen.
India’s southern neighbor Sri lanka despite being very small in size amazingly looks like a tiger in the cricket field.
They have battered Indian bowling attack and their bowlers haven’t allowed India’s ‘great’ batting line up to score runs till now.
Both Indian batting line up and bowling attacks have looked like amateurish.
Sri Lankan fearsome batsman Kumar Sangakkara and I am sure he must be thinking of a double century if he and his team is able to stand its ground without losing any more wickets today.
He has got great support from NT Paranavitana who scored a very good century and Jayawardene who is also an equally gifted batsmen.
Ishant Sharma who took a wicket looks a pale shadow of his former self. I am amazed when we are playing so bad bowlers why don’t we try sort of forgotten Irfan Pathan who has swing, that other Indian bowlers lack.
Sri Lanka have scored 312 runs after losing just two wickets. Are we heading to the same result like we had in the first match?
