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

[_Ed_]

Riveting game, but I really hope Perera is okay.

Watching good pace bowling is like playing over a game by Morphy; watching good finger spin is like a game by Capablanca.
Watching good pace bowling is like listening to Roy Elridge; watching good finger spin is like listening to Lester Young.
Watching good pace bowling is like drinking scotch; watching good finger spin is like sipping red wine.
One is exhilarating, the other is tantalising. Both are great to watch.

Telling that you all are so excited by swinging pink balls tbh

 

[Borges]

Right. 144 to win is just the right kind of target to make this chase very interesting.

 

[Starfighter]

This could be epic. I wonder how many overs they'll actually get in tonight.

 

[cnerd123]

If Kusal can't bat then SL are effectively 1 down already

 

[Borges]

So far, the Windian pacers are getting a lot less movement that their Sri Lankan counterparts.

 

[Daemon]

Feel like that's the last we'll ever see of Udawatte

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

One down. 8 to go

 

[Burgey]

So far, the Windian pacers are getting a lot less movement that their Sri Lankan counterparts.

need to break out the sandpaper

If SL get close WI tactic should be:

step 1: ball tamper
step 2: get caught
step 3: whinge and refuse to take the field for hours
step 4: get a drawn match and series win

what could go wrong

It's still Day 3.

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's still Day 3.

They can stretch it out to a couple days. It's the Caribbean, everything happens slower. Except running.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhananjay is really fun to watch.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Braindead cricket from Gunathilaka, trying to smash Holder out of the attack first ball. Perhaps a touch of extra bounce, but mainly a lacklustre shot

 

[cnerd123]

Has Roston Chase dropped two catches at third slip now, or was that second drop by someone else?

 

[_Ed_]

Great to see Holder taking a decent bag of wickets in this test, along with his 50 in the first innings.

 

[Borges]

Cummins getting more movement than the other three pacers combined. But his lines are quite wayward.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Second drop was Powell

 

[_Ed_]

12.5 Holder to de Silva, OUT, full on off, and defended towards cover
DM de Silva b Holder 17 (29b 4x4 0x6) SR: 58.62

Impeccable, impenetrable defence.
