“We couldn’t execute our plans well and got our calculation wrong said Sri Lankan skipper Dimuth Karunaratne after the first Test which lost by innings and 222 runs over India at Mohali yesterday.
Karunaratne the experienced opener who himself was unable to make long innings in this game said sometimes we were too defensive, sometimes we were too attacking. Sometimes we just needed to take singles and rotate the strike and get to the other side…
That was one of the worst performances of all time I am afraid. It was a placid wicket and I cannot get over how we didn’t reach 200 in either innings. The theme of inability to build a test innings continues with some of the lads getting a start but unable to get past the 20’s. The big three in Dimuth, Thirimane and Anji need to make the big runs against this quality Indian attack.
