***Official*** West Indies in Sri Lanka 2015

[The Battlers Prince]

Well that was needed, well done Taylor

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Should bring Roach on straight away for mine. Still the best bowler in WI atm

 

[YorksLanka]

Disappointed we didn't get to 500 but encouraged to see the turn that Bishoo is starting to get from the wicket...

 

[YorksLanka]

wow great example of the virtues of DRS there, looked plum after the first view..

 

[mr_mister]

i hope bravo and samuels both score tons here, love watching them bat when on song

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Bravo wag

 

[weldone]

Didn't Bishoo use to bowl faster?

I also had the same impression.

 

[weldone]

Bravo and some WI bowlers may have a good series, but I'll be surprised if they draw even one game (without rain interruption).

 

[Migara]

I also had the same impression.

I think it was Samuel Badree, the T20 legspinner who bowled flat and fast.

Didn't Bishoo bowl faster than this during his famous spell against the Aussies earlier this year?

 

[Prince EWS]

I haven't actually watched any of this Test so I don't know exactly how slow we're talking here, but Bishoo has always been slow through the air.

 

[hendrix]

errr, so 4 no balls in this over from Kaushal. Gee whizz....Has a spinner ever bowled 4 no balls in an over?

New era, same old Windies.

 

[YorksLanka]

glad to see the back of Bravo, we should get through the others quickly and get them back in again..worried about rain as heard it is raining near Colombo so don't want weather to intervene..

 

[NUFAN]

Must be some sort of record having 3 sets of 2 players scoring the same score in an innings within the first 7 wickets.

 

[Beamer]

We've got this all wrong so far. We played 4 pacers on a spinners pitch when our frontline spinner was hopelessly undercooked having played no serious cricket for ages. You could tell that Bishoo got better the more he bowled and at the end of the SL innings looked more like the class leggie we know he is.

What I find really upsetting is apart from Herath, these Sri Lankan bowlers are pretty unimpressive. I think Taylor and Roach were far better then their Sri Lankan counterparts for example, but we are being absolutely thrashed because our batsmen are truly dire. If they can't score runs in this series against this attack, I really fear for our future tbh.

 

[YorksLanka]

well batted taylor, showing some of your team mates up the order how to do it..

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Worrying that they have all got in and got out. Can accept a few failures getting out early but for the entire side to get a start and nobody go on is a bit pathetic.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah, thought West indies bowled all right.
