Turbanator runs riot !!

Harbhajan produced a Prasanna like dream spell and Lanka was left to ponder on another late evening collapse. Earlier, the Indian tail had wagged and Pathan had gone on to consolidate, first with Laxman and then with Agarkar. Kumble would have enjoyed that moment, when he whacked Murali for a towering 6 but that is about the last time he enjoyed anything today. He was totally off color while bowling and worst, gifted too many ‘hit me for 4’ balls. I do not think that Sehwag will be keen to enforce the follow on, even if the Lankan tail fails to make the required runs. It is a safe option for him to bat on and wear out the surface and pretty much close all possibilities of a result other than an Indian win. Attappattu again missed out a trick by not rearranging the batting order. Dilshan has been more positive and the near 50 average of ‘deer in the headlights’ Samaraweera not withstanding, should have been sent earlier. Dilshan can still fight and reduce the lead but with a longish tail, without Vaas, Lanka is up against it for all practical purposes. Finally, did someone notice the 41 extras in India's 398 and that too with 15 byes? Sangakkara, who was recently selected for world XI and one who wants to set the mood for the whole team - hmmm. Cricket can be a great leveller in no time.
