Sri Lanka are an odd cricket team.
Two superstars.
Two stars.
And 7 other working class test player to fill out the 11.
It wasn’t that long ago that Sri Lanka were pushing to be the second best test side in the world, now they are a chance at losing to the West Indies after winning the first test.
Low scoring tests always favour the underdogs, but that is no excuse to losing now is it.
Sri Lanka clearly only needed 4 wickets on the final day, Gayle, Sarwan, Shiv & Bravo and they win the test.
In this series Murali seems to be a non entity, and Vaas is the only other bowler capable of taking wickets.
The Lankans look flat, Kumar is not firing, Murali looks human and the rest of the team are just waiting for something to happen.
Something did happen, they lost.
On talent they should easily win the last test, but young sides who win at home grow and extra leg.
Sarwan is still a class batsmen, and the Chrab is still the Chrab. Gayle and Bravo can produce anything, and the West Indian quicks look pretty dangerous when the red cordial is taken away from them.
But being that I have found a tactic that works for the West Indians, reverse psychology, I now know exactly what to say next.
SRI LANKA WILL WIN THE THIRD TEST IN A CAKEWALK
