By hook or crook

or because they intended it, India have hit upon the near perfect combination for the second ODI at Dambulla.

4 pacers, 2 left arm and 2 right arm, 2 swingers, 1 seamer and 1 hit the wicket bowler, an offie and, if reqd, 1 left arm spinner. And if they really want it, 3 additional off spinners ( Raina, Badri and Sharma).

And to top all that, a batting lineup that bats upto #10.

Good omens, these!

not before a familiar middle over crisis.

more because of a softer ball and not much purchase from the wicket naked...Expect more of the same when the Lankans bowl..

And dont be too surprised to see M&M up front within the first 10 overs - they will get more from the wicket with a harder ball than a softer one

Cheers,

The fun begins now...batting in waters deeper than bargained for. Need all the paddlers you can lay your hands upon, novices, glam boys, mules and all.
