Mumbai mystery awaits SL after Kanpur mauling

As India celebrate Sri Lanka are left to ruminate, as the Test series heads for Mumbai and uncertain pitch conditions. After all, it is 36 years since the last (drawn) Test was played at Brabourne Stadium.

Why Sri Lanka were still nine years from being granted full membership of that old boys coterie the International Cricket Council and most players on either side weren't even born and those that were, had other priorities. One was learning to walk.

So far there has been no indication of what to expect. It is one of those conundrums, as the owners, the Cricket Club of India, have not said too much over the past few weeks about the state of the venue or what the groundsman expects. Which, it seems is like waiting for the impossible. Too much focus has been on that other venue in Green Park where India eventually wrapped up an impressive victory by an innings and 144 runs and well inside four days.

Bowlers power New Zealand to narrow win

Dunedin: Shane Bond marked a stunning return to Test cricket powering New Zealand to a narrow 32-run victory to take a 1-0 series lead over Pakistan on the final day of the first Test here on Saturday.

The hosts successfully defended 250 runs on the final day after being skittled out for 153 in the second innings. Bond took 3-46 as Pakistan collapsed to 218 all out despite a fighting 75 from debutant Umar Akmal, who also scored a century in the first innings.

Iain O'Brien claimed 3-63 while captain Daniel Vettori and Chris Martin took two wickets apiece as New Zealand blocked out Pakistan's resistance in the final session.

Sreesanth return puts Sri Lanka on the mat

Kanpur: S Sreesanth marked his return to international cricket with a devastating display of seam bowling to put India on the threshold of a remarkable victory in the second Test against a hapless Sri Lanka here on Thursday.

Sreesanth, staging a comeback after being in the wilderness for close to 18 months, snatched 5 for 75 in Sri Lanka's first innings and then drew first blood in the second innings leave the islanders in complete disarray.

With Sreesanth breathing fire, Sri Lanka's feeble first innings riposte wilted for 229, a whopping 413 runs behind the hosts' massive first innings total of 642. This was also India's highest first innings lead over the Lankans.
