It will be similar to the one against South Africa this year. India had a crushing inings defeat and in the next match SA bowlers could only take 6 Indian wickets. The sizzlers of Dale Steyn became Dud and they surrendered the match very easily to square the series against money power of BCCI.
In the next match Indian batsmen(even the tail enders) will shine like never before and Srilankan tigers will become mice and Team India will have a massive victory and return as National Heroes with huge commercial contracts.
But I hope he will come back very strongly with a century. RD and VVS have to play well and they are playing like a newbie and Dravid simply eating the balls and Laxman taking a first ball single and exposing Tail enders. Both have to score well

to save a match u have to consume time n balls and not score at a brisk rate.
... everyone knows that Mumbai does well at the Ranjis - but hardly any presence in the Indian team. If any presence it will be the Sharmas i.e Rohit Sharma.
The age of Manjrekar, Borde, Wadekar, Solkar and Gavaskar, Vengsarkar, Tendulkar is probably all she wrote... as India keeps out the Marathi players.
Oh yes I know the frequent Ranji winners will keep playing for the "A" team.... as a consolation.

You were always parochial and still are. We are now just realizing what you are. It is time for everybody to be Parochial to level the playing field.....
Oh yeah and I don't think the likes of Yuvraj and Ishant and Ojha are great shakes either.

May Be -- Because In India there is politics everywhere -- even mumbai players and other players are best they will be not selected --- but others who have influential persons in selection will be !!!
It is going to rain all over again. Forecast is rain in Colombo on all 5 days which is not good for India. Sri Lankans are used to rainy conditions, exploit moist pitch better than Indian bowlers. Only good news for Indians is Murali and Malinga are out. But Mendis is back.

parkistan won leeds tset by 3 wickts full credits goes to couch waquar to guide aamir and aamin to get 20 australian wickets which is migificant as well as awasome. pitches in britain are bowler friendly not grave yards for bowlers in asian like india. so playing test match in britain proved to be lucky for parkistan must have paid parking charges for playing test match on britsh soil also in pounds. i wish waquar to beat australia by 2-1 in the third & final WWF tussle. TRP rating of pakistan match is record breaking for example india pak t20 final had TRP rating 6.8 so congractulations pak for good show and dhoni to take some inspiration from the team who lost 14th test match after loosing 13 test match against mighty kangaroos. dhoni must hang his head in shame that he is the richest cricketer paid all over the world and his team had the pooorest show in shrilanka. india by luck is number 1 but australia by their method to fight back in no. 1 pakistan bowled aussies out for 88 but shane watson restricted parkistan and austrain tail enders put 180 runs challange and took 7 wickets. dropped catch by clarke costed loss after pak was 153-5 a simple catch was dropped in point. Unless fielding and bowling i suspect match fixing in gale test by indians because gambhir, bhajji failed in both the innings to score even 10 runs on the contrary their performance in IPL is outstanding in fact bhajji superb knocks made mumbai win in IPL so it is for money. fielding &
