***Official*** West Indies in Sri Lanka 2015

[Spark]

Bit of a boilover, this

 

[morgieb]

How's Narine's action looking?

 

[viriya]

Damn much closer than I thought it would be.. throws upon counterthrows.

 

[viriya]

dem dilscoops for six

 

[OverratedSanity]

Seriously how useless is Johnson Charles

 

[Flem274*]

what

tbf he's a useful odi anchor opener

still terrible at everything else though.

 

[Dan]

Johnson Charles bowling at the death is such a Windies thing to do. I mean, I get that it was forced by injury and game situation, but it's still so lol.

 

[YorksLanka]

Viriya's boi did good.. personally i'd have him drug tested lol as I have never seen him bat like that before !

 

[aussie]

How's Narine's action looking?

Very solid. No hints of chucking IMO

 

[Migara]

We need to play an attacking spinner. From 1996-2009, Murali was the factor that non of WI big hitters delivered against SL and we were very dominant over them. Need to replicate that. Randiv in, Senanayake out.

Murali wasn't effective against the Windies because he was aggressive

It's because he was ****ing Murali

1.50pm However, a lot of this game will be riding on the weather. For now though, the toss is scheduled for 2.00pm local time. And we should have that on time. It seems a rather obvious call to bowl first considering the weather in Colombo but we shall see.

2.00pm West Indies have won the toss and elected to bat

"Rather obvious" and WI don't get along.

As much as I love watching Mendis bowl, this looks like his last series in the international arena. He was working on a stock ball after his injury. He should have been given 6-7 months of time before being picked.

 

[YorksLanka]

Don't want to jinx them but KP and Thirri, going nicely now..

 

[YorksLanka]

Gutted for KP, hasn't he ever played tip n run??still very well played. Thirri also played very well and showed some of his potential. Conclusive victory and good series win. Just the t20 to take now.. Really annoyed that WIndies politics keeps players like Sammy, Bravo and Pollard out of this team- come on WICB sort it out!!

 

[weldone]

Taylor bowls way too short in the first spell in ODIs.

 

[Beamer]

When will this farce be stopped?

Blackwood is a talent but has been a rank failure in limited overs domestically, Carter is just not looking the part anymore. At least with bravo and pollard we were usually competitive, certainly a top 8 nation put it that way. Whereas this is worse than useless.

Ramdin needs to go I think. Being bounced out like that in these conditions is beyond pathetic and Dowrich is waiting in the wings.

This has been such a depressing tour.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah such a poor show from West indies this series. Especially when you consider that SL aren't exactly a team at the peak of their powers right now.

 

[Jono]

Love how the weather Gods are just sick of the ****ness that is West Indies cricket and try at every instance to just **** them off and not allow any cricket to be played.

36 overs a side. Revised Powerplays, PP 1: PP 1: Overs 1-7, PP 2: Overs 8-29, PP 3: Overs 30-36

Holder and Samuels in. This could be fun.
