India won the toss and swiftly ceded the advantage to the Sri Lankan’s by their inept batting. The debutant Prasad took three early wickets and India was 102 for 3 by the 23 rd over. Dravid after suffering and making others endure his painstaking batting succumbed for 10 and Tendulkar following suit with just 6 runs. Both the batsmen were lbw playing across the line.
Since then on, wickets fell at regular intervals with Laxman and Ganguly flattering to deceive. However, Gambhir held the innings together with a fine 72. He along with Sehwag put on a 51 runs partnership before the wheels came apart.
The last wicket partnership of 50 odd runs involving Ishant and Zaheer brought an appearance of respectability and India folded at 249 in the 80 th over.

is this new OTT?
we are doing it nth time...
Pan,
Off late it is a regular affair.
There is something new however guys.. atleast the tail wagged for a change.
Tri,
Reflects badly on our fab-four.
Mendis is on the threshold of a record in his very first show. But our chaps will continue to say that Murali is a greater threat.No more if u ask me. Batsmen will continue to waste time reading Mendis wrist. fingers mouth teeth etc and lose their stumps.Just look at the delivery that foxed Laxman and kumble. How many bowlers found the gate so easily in their debut.
