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

[Burgey]

Notice how the MCC’s code of conduct ,which ***** quoted, quite rightly adopts the Australian way? Hard but fair, respect the umpire’s decision. Not surprisingly, Australia is right about not #crossingtheline

Suranga Lakmal named captain. Incredible.

 

[Daemon]

It really makes a series that much more enjoyable when quicks are dominating. Pretty keen to watch Kumara/Lakmal/Gabriel/Roach with the pink ball.

 

[Burgey]

Guilty. Let’s move on to the 12 month ban.

Guilty. Let’s move on to the 12 month ban.

SL board not as stupid as Australia board.

 

[Burgey]

SL board not as honourable as Australia board.

Yep

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

This Lankan opening pairing must be one of the worst of all team among the top 8 nations?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

We are getting some relief. Rain is near

 

[vcs]

Sri Lankan quicks have been excellent this series.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sri Lankan quicks have been excellent this series.

The pitches have been excellent also

 

[trundler]

The rest of the world needs to follow WI's lead on pitch preparation. Great stuff.

 

[trundler]

Great to see the decent crowd. Lots of old people with seemingly bored to death granddaughters.

 

[trundler]

Great ball but wasn't unplayable. Ball doing a bit on this pitch. Chase getting out in a similar fashion once more. Just stood there and offered a lazy drive.

 

[trundler]

Glorious, glorious pull for 4 from Hope

 

[trundler]

He's not Shai-ing away from the scoring opportunities.

 

[Starfighter]

C'mon West Indies, you've got better than that.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Lovely test cricket.

F*** that farce 481 from a couple days ago.

This is the sh!t

 

[GotSpin]

Decent recovery effort right now

 

[cnerd123]

When is the last time the captain of a Test team took the new ball?

Holder/Sammy probably. Can't think of any other recent examples

 

[Borges]

Woo! Sri Lanka is starting to wilt.

Still and all, they have shown commendable spirit: missing many key players; but in stark contrast to Australia, trying to make a match of it with what they have.
