***Official*** Sri Lanka in the West Indies

[stumpski]

Rain?

Yep - they're off. Should take lunch now really to minimise the time lost. Hopefully just a shower.

 

[roseboy64]

They did. Covers still on now though.

 

[stumpski]

Sky no longer covering this, it would seem. Tennis taking over for the next two hours.

 

[roseboy64]

Sarwan made his 50.

 

[albo97056]

its on the damn red button. Alright if youre a sky subscriber, no good if youre on cable... They charge enough as it is, the assholes

 

[stumpski]

Figured it would be something like that, I'm with Virgin media unfortunately, so no red button for me.


Just going to have make do with internet coverage I suppose.

 

[stumpski]

128-3, so just over halfway to the target. If these two can get them within 100, do West Indies become favourites again?

I'm Virgin-media too. Hoping Nadal makes short work of the Russian. If it goes the whole distance, might not get to see any more play today

It's 5-3 Davydenko at the moment. Dumb question, but I don't really follow tennis - is this best of five sets, do you know?

 

[roseboy64]

Should be since it's a men's game.

No, I don't follow it either.

I know it's been best-of-3 for the other matches, but it may be different for the final.

 

[roseboy64]

Target under 100 now.

 

[stumpski]

Ah good, it's best of three - I just heard the commentator say "one more set like that from Davydenko will see him lift the trophy."


So I'm rooting for the Russki now.

 

[roseboy64]

100 run partnership.

 

[andruid]

A Sarwan ton on the way. What a gun player.

 

[stumpski]

A Sarwan ton on the way.

Don't want him getting it before tea though, as I can't see the match atm.


Davydenko wins in two sets. Presentation during the tea interval with any luck.

 

[roseboy64]

50 for Chanderpaul.

Rain, so you're lucky.

 

[silentstriker]

What a fantastic 121 run partnership here.
