I don't think we'll get the follow on now to be honest!!.. they've dugg in, and Sammy for some reason hasn't taken the damn new ball either which is a shocking decision i believe.

If SL do manage to squeeze out these 60 odds runs & get bowled out for around 390 with around 40 overs in the day, it will be interesting how the Windies approach their 2nd innings batting. You'd think they'd want to attempt a quick 160-170 in around 35 overs making the overall lead 340ish & then have a quick lick at SL for 3-4 overs tonight? Too risky?
^ Thoughts on above WW?

That's what i'm thinking to be honest, get Gayle and Barath to fire off quickly and push our score up to the high 300s, then things could get interesting.

It's not over yet though and we've just got another wicket!!.. another quick one then things will get tense!!..

It has to be said though Sammy has totally effed up the situation!!..he just hasn't got enough experience for these situations.

Yet Sammy's test record is strangely impressive
He took a million wickets on debut in England. Since then he hasn't bowled a lot whenever he's played because he looks so innocuous.

EDIT: He's also take 12 @ 17 against Bangladesh.

Roach gets another one and they still need seven runs to avoid the follow on!!.. it would be a miracle if we pull this off!!.

I will lol if West Indies get Sri Lanka out before they pass the follow-on mark and then Sammy doesn't enforce anyway.
