Hitters in Indian batting still can't be seen

Chasing a modest 233, India's victory march was shaping up to be a dawdle at 157 for 3 at the WACA – where India had failed to post 200 in a Test just about a month ago. But Suresh Raina's old folly, MS Dhoni's unnecessary hoik and Virat Kohli's suicidal run almost cost India a win that was in the end rescued by Ravindra Jadeja and the Man of the Match, R Ashwin.

India had Sri Lanka under the pump all through the afternoon with a distinct plan – dry the runs and invite mistakes – that kept up the supply of wickets. And when it came to setting up the chase, Sachin Tendulkar took care of it, though not with the hundred that's now turning into a bounced cheque.
