This is a point the 'experts' have missed. <br /><br />To be the best test side, India needs to beat not only Aus in Aus and SA in SA, but also SL in SL. If I recall correctly Steve Waugh's team had unfinished business ONLY in SL and India. SL they completed without fuss and then they lost the Final Frontier. <br /><br />Point is - India VS SL Tests in India is a bore. The same in SL is a vitally important series.Late Inswinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412431849599684128noreply@blogger.com
