Sri Lankan opening batsman Paranavitana believes that Indian bowling attack is not weak. In fact the conditions were favorable for batsmen on Day 1 at Galle.

India cut a sorry figure on the opening day of first Test but Sri Lanka opener Tharanga Paranavitana refused to label their bowling as weak. In fact he said that the conditions were favorable for batting on Sunday. Paranavitana said "Indian bowling was not weak but the wicket was good to bat on. Only the odd ball turned. Otherwise there was no problem in the pitch. If bowlers can bowl in the right areas they can get something from the wicket".
