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

[trundler]

Very good choking effort this from Lakmal. Another gone. Very tight.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Alzarri is arguably our best batsman.

 

[slippy888]

Knock over the windies for 220 then Sri Lanka have something to work with, they should be much better 2nd innings batting for sure.

 

[Starfighter]

WI doing a good example of not taking advantage of good situation here.

 

[slippy888]

Run rate was the issue here if Windies batted a decent pace early on they would have a 50 run lead by now

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Match is in SL’s favor here. No way I see we even drawing this without a substantial first innings lead.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

74.5 Embuldeniya to Cornwall, no run, Cornwall uses his reach to kill any spin on this

I felt this

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jimbo jet taking off!

Valuable runs here from Cornwall

 

[paranoidandroid]

Da Silva looks really excellent. He has a lovely compact technique and always seems to play the situation in front of him.

 

[Tom Flint]

Run rate was the issue here if Windies batted a decent pace early on they would have a 50 run lead by now

Or they could have been 150 all out?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cornwall is taking on Lakmal.
Real big **** energy.

 

[slippy888]

Why Cornwall 1st class average so low for a guy with his talent with the bat, you would think he would average around 30

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is why test cricket is the best cricket...the swaying of momentum. One team sniffing blood while the other tries like hell to stop them.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Why Cornwall 1st class average so low for a guy with his talent with the bat, you would think he would average around 30

He bats down the order For the Leewards...by the time he comes in the guys at the other end are also fellow tailenders

 

[trundler]

Gotta love it when the #9 just casually strikes at 80 in a test where everyone else has crawled along at a rate about half that. Wonderfully constructed partnership.

 

[Tom Flint]

Class from these two, a few streaky shots from Cornwall earlier but seems to be middling them now. Da silva just going along nicely like he always does. Keeps it simple

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

When Cornwall arrived at the crease the run rate was 2.31...it’s now 2.59.

 

[TestMatch]

I'm liking the look of Da Silva. Hard to see Dowrich making it back on this team, unless he plays as a pure batsman, which he probably can, given how weak this line up is.

What's the word on Da Silva? What's his domestic reputation like?

 

[trundler]

Now that Chameera is bowling around the wicket, I've got a technical question. Is it a dead ball if the ball gets stuck in the batsman's moobs?

 

[kyear2]

Everything about this young man has impressed me the last 2 days. His keeping was immaculate and I have loved about his batting. Excellent technique and temperament.
