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.
