*Official* West Indies in Sri Lanka 2010

I love Piranha.

Though I reckon he may struggle against the pace.

Piranha looks like he'll go early but I can see Sangakkara tonning up.

 

[WindieWeathers]

in fairness there was nothing he could have done about that delivery!!.. it was just too good..

Good start from the guys but we have to keep the pressure on now!!..

 

[fishyguy]

Roach with a beauty!!!!.. Piranha gets bowled and sl are two down now!!.

I celebrated like an Mfer on that one. really excited about this new ball pair. Honestly I'm more optimistic about WI now than I have been in years. Barath, Darren Bravo, Roach, Russell all have enormous potential.

Yeah Roach looked like he had it all over Piranha. But now we get to the Sri Lankans that don't mind really fast bowlers. These are the wickets that count the most.

 

[fishyguy]

I'm lovin watching Roach and Russell fizz through at over 140 kms consistently. Haven't seen a Windies opening pair bowl like that since the days of Walsh and Ambrose.

 

[Athlai]

Edwards and Taylor did it?

Sanga looks so, so good as always against pace. I reckon the best ploy for the pacers to get him out is to try and bore him into doing something silly, like keep angling the ball away from him over the wicket just short of a driving length and hope he fishes at one. Easier said than done though.

 

[fishyguy]

Edwards and Taylor did it?

Yeah but they hardly played together, hell they have hardly played that much due to injury and they have big age difference.

These guys both 22. In terms of pace even Steyn and Morkel aren't bowling that quick anymore. Mitchell Johnson is the only other guy who is getting it up there.

Wow, Piranha really got an unplayable one from Roach.

I like the look of Shillingford, unfortunately all off-spinners these days (bar Swann) seem to come with dodgy-looking actions.

Anything wrong with the action of Hauritz? Patel? Randiv? You are correct though, probably more dodgy looking actions than clean actions.

I meant off-spinners that are remotely threatening (sorry Randiv).

Don't you follow India? Get Krejza's 12fa up ya and **** off.

Surprised you didn't mention the runs conceded stat for him in that match.

Krejza has a nice action though.

Surprised you didn't mention the runs conceded stat for him in that match.

Well in the first innings he took about 8/200. If your score was actually 8/200 you'd be in massive trouble - he had no support. It was still an amazing return.

If SL can match WI's first innings score or come close, they will win this match. Randiv and Mendis will run through WI's batting in the 2nd innings. Wicket is giving plenty of assistance to spin.

Windies heeding my advice. This is an interesting battle.

True, it was a great effort for sure. He bowled some superb deliveries to get his wickets.

 

[vcs]

Awesome stuff. This could be the start of something beautiful for WI here.

 

[WindieWeathers]

Bravo with a beauty and Sangakarar is GONE!!!..oh what a breakthrough!!..just what we needed before lunch!!.
