***Official*** Sri Lanka Tour of West Indies 2018

[Borges]

A target of 220 or so should be enough to knock the WIndians over, even without Herath.
But then, on to more important things: Alemania 0 - Mexico 1

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

If ever Windies on the backfoot in the chase, they should delay the game just enough to end play on day 5. Bite them back harder!

Cheating lankans

 

[Slifer]

On principle yes, but I'm one who believes that two wrongs don't make a right. WI should get on the the game. If WI lose then it's their own fault for no balling so much etc. If WI had held up the game in a similar way, I'd want the ICC to come down hard on them. Period

 

[vcs]

WI still in control but 150+ will be tricky.

WI still in control but 150+ will be tricky.

I think a low target is less tricky sans Herath, but even so 200+ is never a done deal.

 

[Borges]

Woo, it stayed 0-1 till the end. Back to cricket, and I see that Kusal Mendis is carrying on like a house on fire.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ahh

Video evidence is clear that Chandimal took something out of his pocket and put it in his mouth, then used the saliva to soak the ball.

That's what the umpires took him up on.

Chandimal has pleaded not guilty, but the video evidence of this is quite clear.

 

[Borges]

Well, the Sri Lankans may be guilty, but at least they are putting up a fight;.showing a lot more spunk than the Australian crybabies.

 

[Borges]

Wow! That jinxed them; but I can't really say I'm sorry about that.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Wow! That jinxed them; but I can't really say I'm sorry about that.

All I can say is Thank You!

 

[vcs]

200+ would make Sri Lanka marginal favourites IMO. Interesting match this one.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

More drama

The ball is feeling sticky to the touch for the umpires

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So they are changing the ball

Because the tape on the bat was removed and it left a sticky residue on the bat.

5 runs penalty for the bat (Joking)

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This test match has everything. Now only if we have a streaker running across the field.

There is a cow pasture close by; perhaps running of the bulls

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh, I forgot the rains

 

[Migara]

Unfairly "changing the condition of the ball" is tampering.
This was fairly recent, wasn't it? Dasun Shanaka penalised for 'changing condition of ball' | Cricket | ESPNcricinfo

It was so lame. That's why I said we don't have real good subtle tamperers around.

 

[Migara]

What a crap debut for Udawatte

Looks like this is up to Mendis and Chandimal yet again.

I dunno why selectors have selected another glorified slogger to accompany a better glorified slogger.

 

[Migara]

Roach and Gabriel are best windies pacers since Ian Bishop made his debut in 89
I know there was Edwards but he was way too inconsistent then Jerome Taylor who showed promise but then got injured/faded

Franklyn Rose?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Franklyn Rose?

At one point Darren Powell was leading our bowling attack.

There's also Corey Collymore, Cameron Cuffy, Colin Stuart, Reon King, Nixon McClean, Adam Sanford.

But the biggest one was Mervyn Dillon

 

[Migara]

Dillon looked ugly with his open chested action and inswingers. Absolutely loved Rose's bowling action though
