Milinda Siriwardana's unbeaten 105 from 149 deliveries was the highlight of the third and final day of the West Indians' warm-up encounter at the SSC. Siriwardana is in line for a Test debut on Wednesday, when the first Test begins at Galle. Sri Lanka Cricket Board President's XI finished their first innings on 455 for 6, at which time the match was called off.
The practice outing was a difficult one for the West Indians, who had earlier been bowled out for 209 in their first innings. They did, however, have tougher conditions to bat in. The pitch had slowed down and flattened out by the second day, when the President's XI began their innings.

Did the pitch really change that much?
The bottom line is that the West indies batted poorly.

Why is that the match was called off after only 48 Overs today? I was hoping that the WI batsmen would have one more chance to get some runs of the board.
