Srilanka lined 2 spinners, so as India.
SL won the match, not India.

I cant imagine Kumble as a spinner. Field some genuine spinners, then thz a chance for India in the next 2 matches.

It's not 1970. India bowling strength is fast bowling now. We should go with three fast bowlers.

Boss, at least in the 70's we had grt spinners. Now, we have neither spinners nor fast bowlers apart from ishant sharma to an extent. Our other `fast bowlers' are military medium pacers. I am amazed that when our fast bowlers first come into the test team, they are pretty sharp and bowl at over 140 kms per hour. One would expect them to improve their pace with more experience. But the moment they establish themselves in the team, their pace goes down dramatically. Take a look at munaf patel, zaheer khan, r.p.singh etc.. Nowadays even ishant`s pace is also not express.

It could be, but not in Srilankan conditions.
