Yeah, that was a disappointing shot, given the context of the match. A rash shot that could be blamed in his youth and inexperience?

Perhaps, but then Dwayne still gets himself out to stupidly rash shots in his maturity. Hopefully the same isn't on the cards for his bro.

The most disappointing thing is that everything else about his batting suggested thoughtfulness, care and maturity. Then suddenly he players a definitive "getting out" shot with the close just around the corner, and Nash just gone.

With all due respect you would say that!!.. your an SL fan!! :unsure: , but needless to say i totally disagree, imo it wasn't that dark yesterday when the players came off.

They were off far too early yesterday and they were off far too early today and thats my opinion. Call that bias if you like but I dont see why you would.

"Off far too early today"? 8-) erm the umpire kept lingering around our batsmen with the light meter but they never done that with SL's the day before!!.. they just offered the light to Sanga and that was it!!.. SL got let off the hook while we practically had to bat at midnight!!.. it was disgraceful.

Whatever you may think, they did not offer the light at all - get that massive chip off your shoulder.

Brings an average of 38 and some handy left arm spin. Not a world beater, but good enough for a middle order batsman.

Over half of the tests Nash has played on have been absolute roads. Roads where batsman of the quality of Denesh Ramdin have scored huge hundreds. Since Nash debuted, Gayle on those aforementioned roads has averaged over 60 with 6 hundreds and Chanderpaul rather disappointingly 48.

Against Dilshan and Herath. What a challenge! A former wicket keeper and a guy who doesn't even get wickets in county division two cricket.

Don't utter bull**** WW. Even if play was called off with abetter light on day 1, there were fast bowlers bowling. On day 3, spinners were bowling. You have different light readings for spinners and seamers. Stop whining, and bad light was not the reason for Nash and Bravo to get out. They became complacent against Dilshan and one of those wickets were due to a great catch and **** shot too.

I cannot see play starting today. this will be another draw if there is no major collapse from WI.

It's just my opinion, i don't give a damn if you and others don't agree with it!! 8-) , they offered the light so fast the day before when SL were in serious trouble at 36/3 even though it wasn't that dark, yesterday the umpires were lingering around our batsmen with the light meters and they knew it was too dark but nah they gave SL every opportunity to take a couple of wickets and low and behold as soon as that happened they stopped play, i'm watching the replay right now and you could see the bloddy moon in the sky it was so dark!! :laugh: .
