Lackluster Lions !!

Lanka must be ruing the fact that for the 2^nd time they allowed the Indian lower order to wriggle their team out of a tight spot. The lower order has added nearly 500 (300+187) runs in this match and that speaks volumes of the resolve of Pathan, Dhoni and even Agarkar. Yuvaraj made up for his failure in the 1^st inning and put to rest the claims of ‘nay sayers’. I, for one never doubted his talent and right to be where he is but he has to bridge the gap while playing spin. I am yet to be convinced that Agarkar is better than a Zaheer (or even a Balaji or Nehra) when it comes to be the no.2 seamer in tests but in batting, he still has the potential to come good, once in a while. Today was his day, when he stroked to a pleasant 48 and threw it away when a 50 was there for the asking. Lanka looked like a spent team late in the evening -wilting under the happy go lucky 10th wicket stand of Bhajji/Kumble, ready to go back to Columbo by the next flight. India has to go for the kill and do a ruthless demolition that will give them the edge, while they prepare for the tough tour ahead of Pakistan.
