West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

No one wants to talk about this tour or there is no interest about this tour on GS?

Well I thought I might open a thread on this tour. Nice to hear Rameez as commentator and Nadeem Ghauri from Pakistan is standing as an umpire in the first test.

Windies won the toss and elected to bat first. So far the score is 50/1 off 15 overs.

BTW Murli is back in this match after 11 months rest.

West Indies team

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

SL in trouble after dismissing Windies for 285 they are 55 for 4 after 16 overs.

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

SL 171/8. Looks like WI will get a first innings lead. Pitch must be bowlers paradise.

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

^ On the contrary, pitch is not a bowlers paradise. It is mostly a batting wicket and SL should be ashamed of being dismissed for such a paltry score on a flat wicket against a second string WI side. What a horrible start for new coach Moody.

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

SL bundled out for 227. Windies lead by 58 runs.

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

SL hit back and WI finish the day at 17/3. This test match could be over tomorrow.

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

Luck on WI side, raining and eating the 3rd day seems like the play will resume on 4th day if rain permits.

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

Yeh 20/20 Test match haiy. :smiley:

Re: West Indies tour of Sri Lanka

WI was all out for 113.
