The bowlers looked totally useless except for Bhajji who was very consistent and as usual excellent. Ishant looked better compared to the rest of the lot. All others were bowling the same kind of balls pitching in the same areas which Sri Lankans seemed to smash to the fence. Every ball was bowled as if inviting the Lankans to smash for Four. At least it should be a lesson if you get hit one or two times and you change the style of bowling - bowl a bouncer or a yorker - or the slow one - change the line - mix it all up - none of these was attempted. The only variety in the bowling was the wides on either side of the wicket - special thanks to Sachin who came on to bowl as though just woken from sleep.
Indians were certainly not playing for India to win. If so, it was for Sri Lankan's win! Was this match fixed, by the way?!!

Yes, it is match fixing, similar to the last match between India vs Australia.
