Lanka bats

International Tests India
comment on the article

Rain and India seem to be made for each other. A whole ODI series was washed away when we visited Lanka some years ago. And now today's rains. In Kerala in south India, where I live it has been raining quite heavily for the past 1 day. And its climate is very similar to Lanka's. The forecast is bad for the next 2-3 days.

I predict a draw.

Lanka has won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first.

The problem with SL is that they don't have a Ganguly to bowl medium-pace!
yikes
Murali first change?

Of course, with this weather, it probably won't be until the fourth day....
