We play kabaddi and kho-kho during net practice to improve our agility and fine tune our reflexes. We rehearse uprooting stumps and making victory laps. Does it come as any surprise that the great Indian batting maestros tumbled like a pack of worthless cards? The Lankans posted a score so meager that even Bhutan's burgeoning cricketers would have managed to surpass it, but Ganguly and his superheroes tucked in their capes and kept the wickets ticking with clockwise precision.
Memorable quotes from the post-match interview with Ganguly:
"We need to pick up in all areas" [pick up your game dammit, and leave those stumps alone!]
"We need to get our heads right" [no kidding G!]
"We did not bat well, did not bowl well and did not field well" [he forgot to add that he also does not - speak well, run-between-wickets well, analyze well, motivate well, or just bloody well get the job done!]
