In a just world, inflicting viewing material, intelligence quotient
1478 runs scored over five days. 17 wickets taken over the same five days - at an average of about 87 runs per wicket, with slightly more than 1 wicket falling per session. In a just world, these two sentences together should be enough to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the curator or groundsman who had provided a pitch that gave this kind of a result.
If the second Test between India and Sri Lanka were a movie, it would be one directed by Sooraj Barjatya. If it was a serial, it would be an Ekta Kapoor creation. This Test had the same quality as the movies and serials of Barjatya and Kapoor do - that of taking an essentially 3-minute storyline and expanding it to fill up never-ending days and hours. Also, there are many people who think that action should be taken against those two also, for inflicting viewing material that guarantees a 50 percent reduction in the intelligence quotient of the viewer.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
