"When they played a group match at the Wankhede, the pitch was so tinged with green that Jayawardene said they struggled to separate it from the square. On Thursday, though, it looked a perfect brown and it is unlikely that grass will be allowed to grow on it over the next couple of days. Though this is Sachin Tendulkar's home turf, this is an entirely new surface, and Sri Lanka are the only finalists to have played on it. Does that somehow negate the fact that Sri Lanka have managed to win only one ODI against India in India in the past year? "
