Roach has seemingly bowled pretty well as usual. Now for him to get injured and West indies to get dicked in the remainder of the series.

I didn't even know he was allowed to bowl? Wasn't he banned? Or was it just his quicker delivery or something stupid like that?

That was a couple years ago I think, I thought Shillingford's the only West Indies bowler out currently.

@ajdude:he is a good player, BUT he is having a shocker at the moment ( as all batsmen do at some stage) - as I have said before, I hope that he gets dropped in order to get some runs under his belt in the a team so that he can return with more confidence..

good ton from Dimuth, keep going lad..we have been fortunate that Windies fielding has helped but we take the luck when we get it..

Immediate close of play thoughts are:
We actually bowled very well, particularly the seamers, on what was an absolute road. They were all very consistent in line and length.
Fielding was a big let down. You cannot drop two simple chances in conditions like these because they simply won't come about again.
Sri Lanka batted very solidly indeed. Whilst not featuring that much stunning strokeplay, I thought their defence was tight and their running between the wickets was 10 times better than ours will be.
If the rain stays away I fancy Sri Lanka to win because I do not fancy our batting lineup one bit. Kraigg may bat forever on this pitch but Samuels and Bravo might decide not to turn up, Ramdin has been very out of form and everyone else is a novice.
I'd also like to know which dodo decided that playing 4 seamers on this pitch would be a good idea? Spin is easily more effective at this venue, the stats say that very clearly so why on earth did they leave out the second spinner? My money is on Sir Clive Lloyd who is a selectorial dinosaur (this is not 1980 Clive!). Yet again something that is seemingly just common sense escapes our selectors. It is very frustrating being a West Indies fan.

Yes agree, Galle is flat for first couple of days and then as the pitch detiorates it will take spin..
