Thanks for the tag, Raji!

It is the same pitch as the ENG v SA match - 64m and 69m square boundaries, the straight boundary is at 76m. There is a bit of shine and it means that it'll not slow down as the game progresses. The challenge for the bowlers is to hit a length around6.5-7.1 metres, a hard length which has proved difficult to get away. It's hot and the pitch is full of runs, so the captain winning the toss might opt to bat first, reckon Ricky Ponting and Michael Atherton, in their pitch report

Abdul: "Will India experiment with their line-up? I mean can Ashwin be accommodated in this team? I think Ashwin will be handy on this pitch"

Ravi: "India vs SL has never looked very exciting in recent times. (Cause it's the battle of the Asian heavyweights"

Shakil Ahmad: "This India team is unbeatable at present. I think if any team can be a threat for them is SA.
