WI tour of SL, Oct 5-Nov 12

[Aidan11]

Hoped he'd get three figures but well done to him.

[mikesiva]

Rain...149-4 in the 27th over.

Samuels 22*

Carter 5*

[The Professor]

Hoping we don't get another reduced game here.

[mikesiva]

Reduced to 38 overs a side...not reduced enough, West Indians would say!

Bowled him! Lakmal gets rid of Carter for five....

Jason Mohammed out to Malinga for four...there are a lot of passengers in this side.

Samuels gets his half-century....

Run out for 62...what was he thinking?

More indecisive running, as Taylor, Narine and Carlos follow suit.

211-6 to 214 all out...all run out.

[Aidan11]

Don't think WI's will have enough runs even with the D/L adjustment.

[The Professor]

Suspect WI will rue that dropped catch off Dilshan.

[mikesiva]

The D/L target is 225...with this bowling and fielding performance, that should be a doddle.

Narine bowls Dilshan with his first ball!

[Aidan11]

One down.

[dan08]

Probably the weakest team WI have ever fielded.

[mikesiva]

The 150 partnership between Kusal and Thirimanne....

Kusal goes to Rampaul for 99.

[mikesiva]

Well, Sri Lanka easily won that match and the series....

Time for the dead rubber:

Sri Lanka Team
MDKJ Perera†, TM Dilshan, HDRL Thirimanne, LD Chandimal, AD Mathews*, TAM Siriwardana, DSNFG Jayasuriya, PVD Chameera, BAW Mendis, SL Malinga, RAS Lakmal

West Indies Team
J Charles, ADS Fletcher, J Blackwood, DM Bravo, MN Samuels, D Ramdin†, JL Carter, JO Holder*, CR Brathwaite, SP Narine, R Rampaul

It didn't take long...again. Charles out for four to Malinga...one down.

Fletcher out to Lakmal for six...another passenger calls it a day. Two down....

We got the review out of the way, too.

[Aidan11]

Raining again.

[mikesiva]

Resumption....

Blackwood goes for two...another passenger comes off at the next bus stop. Malinga gets his second wicket. Three down....

That was embarrassing...Lil Bravo bowled for four by Lakmal, a ball he shouldered arms to. Four down....

Pace like fire! Ramdin out to Chameera for four. Five down....

[Arthur Crabtree]

Five out. Marlon should be saluted for getting about half of his side's runs. Everyone can have an early night.

[mikesiva]

Another bus stop, another passenger disembarks...Carter gone to Mendis for six off 26 balls.
