India is getting thrased by Sri Lanka and the wickets are falling as rapidly as Rakhi Sawant sheds her clothes. Just as the controversy around Ram Sethu is being brewed in the political cauldrom, the first test crickets feels as if Ravana is finally getting his revenge for the destruction by Lord Rama and his 'vanar sena' (monkey brigade - we still have this regiment and they are often seen as extra stuntment in Hindi cinema). Yes, we have been defeated in the past as well, but those were lesser intensity revenge - for the annual burning of Ravana's effigies during Ram Leela. This time, it feels like the big revenge.
Let the Sethu Samundran project go on - maybe Ravana's soul will at last lay to rest and only after that, we can discuss future cricket tours.
11:10am GMT, India 120 - 8 and all the stalwarts are back to the pavilion !
Murlidharan and Mendis have made a Ram Leela of us...
