The Galle track is not an easy one for the batsmen.
From the first session, it offered turn and bounce for the spinners and it
reminded me of the Bangalore track which was used in the Test match between
India and Pakistan in 1987. The Indian spinner Ravi Ashwin made full use of the
track to take all the ten wickets of Sri Lanka on day 1.
Sri Lanka’s paltry total of 183 would have been looked a
dependable one if the Lankan spinners were able to utilize the track well. Both
Rangana Herath and Tharindu Kaushal looked off-colored: short-of-a-length , lack
of pace, wide-of-off and no-variation-in-flight will never be able to test the
Indian batting line-up.
The Indians are in a commanding position on day one and
should capitalize on this big time.
