doing better than WI?

MORE TALENTED. EVEN THOUGH LACK OF RESOURCES AND COUNTRY RUINED INTO POVERTY, STILL THEY ARE PRODUCING REAL TALENTS.

NOT LIKE WORSTINDIES EEDIOTS WHO ALWAYS BLAME SELECTORS AND POLITICIANS, EVEN THOUGH REAL PROBLEM IS LACK OF TALENT AND BRAINS.

DEDING WID LAF.

Well ah have to tell yuh the weather has been overcast all day,conditions suit the English bowlers dong to de grong,I don't think we would have done any better,maybe same or worse.

Honestly. Right now a West Indies vs Sri Lanka test match would be won by Sri Lanka

Our batting is seriously weak and their bowling is superior.

Isn't the on screen umpire a Caribbean person? I detect a WI accent.

The SL #9, on debut, showed a lot of heart (much more than I saw in the WI team vs England and SA) to post a 72 top score.

6 out of the top 7 SL batsmen average over 40 and 5 have played over 50 tests

Madushka avg 42.09 (9 matches)
Karunaratne avg 41.31 (92 matches)
Kusal Mendis 36.07 avg (65 matches)
Mathews 45.55 (110 matches)
Chandimal avg 43.14 (80 matches)
de Silva avg 40.70 (55 matches)
Kamindu Mendis avg 88 (4 Matches)

They have experience, but like WI, they need to be playing more. Not sure if there are any opportunities for them to play 4-day cricket in India for example.

I like how they are looking. My Treeknee friend & barber from San Juan is probably satisfied as he's a fan of the Lankans.

They dont have alzharri joseph in their attack and their batting unit has experience
