*Official* Sri Lanka’s Tour of the West Indies-2021- All Format

[JOJOXI]

Cornwall's not dropping that!

 

[Tom Flint]

West indies first choice slip cordon today has been Cornwall holder and Joseph. Can't have been too many times that 3 bowlers and no batsman in the slips

 

[TT Boy]

Typical Dickwella dismissal that. Sri Lankan cricket in a bad way. Some of those players in the legend side are still better than this lot.

 

[Tom Flint]

A duck 1 in every 5 innings is terrible for a no 8

Only his 5th innings at number 8 in Tests - fair to say he's batting a tad high!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

One thing we know for certain is that Cornwall has the safest pair of hands in world cricket.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Clearly, all that investment into Thirimanne is now paying its dividends.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

A bit of complacency there from Lahiru.

That is Holder 200th FC wicket.
We should be able to wrap this up soon.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another one goes...Holder is in the zone here. He gets wicket number 4.

 

[JOJOXI]

I know it was mostly v spin but from what I saw of Embuldeniya's batting against England in the last Test I am surprised he's coming in to bat at 10

Embuldeniya trying to make me look like a fool 1st ball!

Jason Holder's bowling average as it stands dips below that of Kemar Roach's today

Roach just took the latest wicket to fall and hopefully gets his average closer to Holder’s lol

With that DRS overturn a few boundaries off Holder and a wicket for Roach and he could keep his crown!

 

[Tom Flint]

Holder just bowling mid 70s too, he is a class act

It’s truly gripping cricket—these minor stats and ‘game within a game’.

 

[JOJOXI]

Holder winning that game within a game - nice to see that his first game after losing the captaincy that he gets a five-for

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I believe the last time Holder played against SL he also took a five-wicket haul.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Now, having dismissed Sri Lanka for a paltry total, I just hope that we bat and bat and bat until the cows come home on day 3 after lunch.
We need to have a substantial first innings lead here and try to bowl out Sri Lanka cheaply again in the second innings.

I’m hoping that it’s a 2-fah-1

 

[kyear2]

I want to add that I was very impressed with the keeping of Da Silva. Was very clean and looked active behind the stumps..
