The story of the match so far has been how Sri lanka get clawing back despite losing wickets at regular intervals. They never allowed themselves to get bogged down when wickets were falling and kept the score board ticking with singles and the occasional fours. Russel Arnold deserves a lot of praise for his composure, especially since he is coming back to the side after a long time.
Almost dreadful to think what Dravid would have done in the same situation. Some of the Indian batsmen tend to get bogged down too much during pressure situations like these, and forget to take the attack back to the enemy camp. I think the way Lanka handled the situation should be a blue print to follow in these situations.
Now India goes up against a Lankan attack, minus Vaas, Murali and even Masinga their new weapon in the pace bowling variety. All pointers seems to lead to an easy victory, but, can they be choked by some inspire bowling and some tight fielding?
