Indias bolwing problems seem to be getting worse after SL dominated the first day of the opening test against India. Kumar Sangakkara and Tharanga Paranavitan were the stars of the day scoring centuries and grinding the Indian bolwers as SL posted 2/256.
But it was the weather that was really things. The match was delayed by almost an hour due to an wet outfield, and then had to be cut short due to bad light. In all 22 overs were lost.
The Indian bolwers were no where near their best. They were simply leaking runs. However debutant Mithun was the only bright star, he trouble Dilshan early and then got his wicket. He was also consistent throughout the day.
The fielding was bad to say the least. There were many catches which were missed and the ground fielding was also poor.
Recent history suggests that Sri Lanka is a place for batting and the batsmen will want to get as many runs as possible to give their bolwers a good chance to get at the Indian bowlers.
