So M&M dismantled India's much vaunted batting easily...but I am more concerned of our bowling. India's bowling is practically toothless on an unfriendly track.
We don't have a tearaway fast bowler OR an exceptional spinner in our ranks who can perform regardless of the pitch. Ishant is apparently the best we have got, and that is not good enough.
Come on srilankans didnt do a thing with their fast bowlers. It was their spinners who did the trick. We need better spinners and good catchers. Pathetic fielding and pathetic bowling by our players.

I was saying that we don't have ONE exceptional fast bowler (like say Akram) or ONE exceptional or even freakish spinner (like say Warne/Murli) to take wickets on unfriendly wickets. On unsupportive wickets, our bowling attack is rendered totally ineffective and harmless. And btw, Kumble is not an spinner. He is a good military medium fast bowler who bowls wicket-2-wicket.
Re: India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test --- Old School Veterans vs The Freaks
this is what test matches should be like.
how about this sehwag decision for people who advocate technology/referral as the solution for disputed decisions... all it does is give perennial rotuus a different reason to cry about.
as an aside, I dont understand why sehwag is in the test team. rarely does he perform outside his very narrow comfort zone.
