So after staying up practically all night, I must say I have not been disappointed with the Indian bowling. They have stuck to the task, and kept Sri Lanka in check. They did not let any batsman get away with the game. Atapattu did score a 50 but his innings was nowhere close to domination.

Pathan once again provided an initial breakthrough. Tendulkar once again took some quick wickets. Sehwag and Tendulkar bowled quite well in the middle overs, to deny Sri Lanka any real acceleration. I did not see any of Zaheer’s overs, so I am not sure how exactly he bowled. But it was interesting that Ganguly gave the new ball to Nehra and not Zaheer.

Man, I can never figure this guy out. Ganguly is truly an enigma. Either he is too brilliant, or he is just a random guy lucking out all the time. One match he drops Nehra for Zaheer, and the next, he does not give Zaheer the new ball. But whatever it is, it is working out for him, so I knock on wood again and hope I have not woofed it.

So it has been a good thing to keep Sri Lanka under 230, but the ball is really spinning, so I am not sure how India will cope.

Time for a quick power nap and to get ready for the Indian innings.
