Disappointed by Fab four

India would be disappointed by their effort on the first day of the final test. An important toss was won, the start was fabulous and then the story of this tour repeated itself. The Fab Four of India’s middle order have one more innings to redeem themselves But at this stage it must be said the Sri Lankan spinners have tied them in knots. The tentativeness was there for all to see.

Only, it was not spinners but a rookie medium fast bowler who added to their misery today. Dammika prasad isn’t genuinely quick but he moves the ball off the seam at decent pace and has a bustling run-up to the crease. He claimed India’s two Ten Thou sanders, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, with deliveries, which moved in sharply, both in the air and off the wicket. That he also accounted for his team’s bogeyman Virender Sehwag.
