West Indian Tour of Sri Lanka, November-December 2010/11

You know your pace bowling pool is in dire straits when Angelo Matthews is one of your opening bowlers...

This series has been poorly scheduled. If the organizers were aware of the impending rain, they ought to have shifted the matches to some other places. 2 out of 3 Tests getting affected by rain is not at all good for any nation.

Actually all 3 have been affected by rain.

Good job by Bravo and Smith. Now Chanderpaul needs to make a big score or at least contribute a 50.

Bravo's grandfather and Lara's mother were brother and sister, making him and Lara second cousins.

Interesting. I never knew this part of the story.

It's been a month since we had a close Test now, a whole month!
So I suppose people are whining about the "death" of Test cricket again.

Will probably see an article on Cricinfo sometime soon saying something like "every drop of rain was another nail in the coffin of Test cricket".

Well this was a sad test series. Every test affected by rain and in the last one only 100 overs were bowled. Its a shame that more cricket couldn't be played.

Got to say that I was impressed by Kemar Roach and Darren Bravo. Roach took 10 wickets on the sorry Sri Lankan wickets and Bravo scored a 50 in each of the test matches.

Hopefully West Indies can continue the positive play in the ODI series and hopefully the rain stays away.

The series may be postponed on account of the persistent rains.

And when you postpone the series, out goes rain!
