Another series happening at the same time as England - Pakistan. You'd imagine given all the problems, Sri Lanka will win this series easily.
Sri Lanka are 101/1 after 40.1 overs on day one
Edit: Now 101/2 after 41 - Slight mockers from myself there...

Brilliant, Steadzz. This tour will likely be just as one-sided as EngvPak, but Kemar Roach is always good for a watch.

It should be that one sided for sure. West Indies need batsmen. Their bowling isn't too bad, someone like Marlon Samuels needs to step up for this tour, otherwise you can see them getting skittled.

Karunaratne brings up his hundred with a slap over midwicket. Was a beautiful slap mind...

Sri Lanka bowled out for 484. Karunaratne with 186 and that man Chandimal again, with a 151.
After a decent start in the first 8 overs, WI now struggling at 58/2 with Herath unsurprisingly getting both wickets.

Great chance for Herath to get 20 wickets in this test...

now now steadzz, first let's see if he gets 10 in this innings. I'm certain someone will throw their wicket away to the one over of seam, tomo.

As expected, West Indies have struggled. Darren Bravo got a good 50 but threw it away somewhat (granted Chandimal's catch was an absolute stunner). The next highest scorer was Jerome Taylor... Hmm

Windies following on. Probably not for the last time this series

Imagine If Kemar Roach Got A Cowan Though! I believe that would have resulted in the West Indies being awarded the series...

Shai Hope seems to be really struggling in Test cricket; yet to score over 36. I feel for him - he seems to have been brought in way too early in his career.

Also he's not an opener and he's been told to open.

Hope is a 5/6 and that's where he got runs against Australia. Hope is a better opener than Chandrika though who is the only other option it appears. (Chandrika being a 26 year old opener without a FC century to his name and he only averages 26...)
The only other option at present I can think of is Cornwall who isn't good enough yet & Devon Smith who has consistantly shown he has no temperament or poise
