Mathi: "@Vinny, pasindu has that much average, and still not called up for Sri Lanka A series against India A which happened... Nah!!!"
PHKD Mendis c Phillip b Seales 44 (58b 5x4 1x6) SR: 75.86
Pikachu: "Always a criticism, if it's a bowler friendly pitch, but no comments, when a batting track comes in..."
Saikot: "Hey Madushka, any cracks in the pitch to exploit? Any chance of getting result out of this match, other that draw?" --- Just seen some deliveries from Shamar keep low, but it's all happening outside off.

Vinny: "Fair enough but I think Udara deserves to play the upcoming series vs India ahead of Madhushka. I personally would like to see Pasindu Sooriyabandara play as he has a first class average of 54.36 but I dont think India is a good team for chances as it would affect WTC rankings"
Again showing all three stumps, perhaps teasing Shamar to try and go straighter.
Mathi: "Interesting reply to vinny, he's just 32, not too bad for a guy to come up... " --- Wouldn't really say he's an up-and-comer Mathi, but yes, Sri Lankans are notorious for giving belated opportunities for their players.

Raj : "At this point Sri Lanka should throw their bats at everything if they want to win this game. Get a tantalizing score that teases West Indies but at the same time, gives SL opportunities to get wickets. "
DrZee: "SL should gove for 150 more runs in next 30 and give 300 to chase for WI in last 50 overs..That would make it a spectale and might prompt WI in trying and chasing it and then you never know.."
Mathi: "And not only that @sam he has striked at 75, which is high in case of test standards..."

Deo: "Sri Lanka should not bat longer than this session. WI run rate when the pitch was in better shape was 3.00. A total of 240 in 2 sessions will be challenging for WI. Losing 1-0, 2-0 or 1-1 draw is worth the risk for SL."
