How depressing is this for West Indies ? 25-3 after 9 overs. Ball is seaming around with Malinga and Lakmal bowling very well. Don't know how WI are getting their runs here.

Not an easy surface to bat on, both skippers saying they'd have bowled first with SL doing so after winning the toss.

Doesn't appear to be any reduction in overs after the rain.

The SL fielding coach looks like an athlete while the actual "athletes" look like owners of street side fruit stands.
 
100 runs in the last 10 overs by WI. Good come back. Good contribution from Holder and Andre Russell.
 
Thirimanne walks in and fans are already disappointed. Send in the debutant.
 
Andre Russel gets smacked for a 6, falls over and injures himself. Worst think that could happen to a bowler in one delivery.
 
Narine completely owning the Sri Lankan players. West Indies' match to lose now.
 
Run out looks not out. But the keeper was too slow and far away from the stumps.
 
What did happened? :)) Just saw a post on FB of the SL cricket team, which showed that SL have 106 for 3, but after switching in ive witnessed a surprise.
 
Mendis hit a four of Narine and then comes down the pitch very next ball trying to hit a six :facepalm:
 
Poor West Indians, all their hard work to put the game back into their pocket goes in vain. :/
 
Ajantha Mendis was run-out. But not given by Rod Tucker. WI robbed.
 
But to be honest, Mendis batted quite good. Did show some glimpses of a proper batsman, and compensated his bowling performance with this finish.
 
Didn't get to watch, but what did you guys think of narine's action? Did it look different, did it look legal?

His bowling figures look just as good as before his hiatus.
 
Damn, looks like this was a thriller. So Pakistan back to No. 8 in the ODI rankings now.

Looked clean. Wasn't chucking.
