If there is indeed video evidence then SL have no leg to stand on. Seems only one country treats ball tampering as a crime though.

Scores level. I guess the game is about all square.

What is it with Windies cricket and giving the captaincy to medium pacers who don't take wickets and can bat a bit now and again?

Looks like the game is slipping away from WI. More than 200 will be tough to get?

Yep.

That's why this is an important wicket.

Mendis bowled by Gabriel for 87.

But the lead is swelling alarmingly. Should be about 200 to chase. The new ball is a long way off.

Gabriel's on six as Dickwella goes. Good effort this by SL. Another irritating stand building now.

Terrible day for the WI comes to an end.

A draw might be heaving into view.

Though it's true that the scores in the game are going up rather than down.

I obviously don't follow WI cricket as closely as yourself mike, but I can't help but feel the team would be better balanced if they dropped Holder and brought in a batsman at 6. Saying that, Holders average with the bat is better than half of the top order's.

Hetmyer and Ambris have been around the team recently, then there's of course Darren Bravo whose off the radar but undoubtedly good enough to be there.
