welcome to the most pointless 5 days of your life.

Can`t we wait till at least two innings of the match are finished? Its a test match and we are just into session 2 on day 1!

What kind os pitch is this ?? atm, its even worse than the previous one

This is probably THE worst pitch prepared ever! I agree with you :brickwall

I dont think this gonna be easy for the IND bowlers when they come in to ball...SL have really good batsmans in their top order

And they are in really good form too

307 runs before tea on Day 1. India have to be pretty happy with that.

People listen, the wicket starts to change from day3 and become almost opposite in the last day.That's why Dhoni chose to bat first.

I still fail to see how that help's this pitches case. Yes a result may be likely, but that pretty much means that the team batting first is almost guaranteed victory as long as they bat half decently well in the first innings. I haven't seen any of this match live, but going on from what cricinfo have reported and what people have said who are watching this game, this pitch has nothing in it for the bowlers.
