Galle: The start of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium has been delayed
due to a wet outfield here today. Galle was lashed by heavy rain yesterday, forcing the ground staff to cover the entire field. Weathermen have predicted overcast
conditions on all five days. This is veteran Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan's swansong Test.
Lankan spin wizard needs just eight more scalps to touch the 800-mark in Test cricket.
India's Rahul Dravid needs 30 more runs to reach 9000 runs while batting at number three in Tests.
Once he gets there he would become the second batsman after Ricky Ponting (9447) in Test history to accumulate over 9000 runs
at the No 3 position. PTI
