Congratulations to both King and Campbell for their unbeaten opening century partnership stand, to ensure that West Indies team did not suffer defeat. Both openers scored unbeaten half centuries in their batting effort, to deny any chance of a Sri Lankan victory. Of course, we commend both Greaves and Chase for their exceptional and exemplary batting performances to guide West Indies to a terrific position in terms of almost 500 runs scored against Sri Lanka .

Been very impressed with Campbell's efforts to apply himself since his return. He still has a concentration issue but you can see he is making an immense effort to overcome it

John Campbell (25 matches - - 25.93 ave)

Devon Smith (43 matches - - 23.78 ave)

I find this quite interesting and before "one" offers that Devon was in and out of the team (this within his control); Campbell was on a doping violation hiatus from the team. Devon also had Gayle to guide him.

Brandon King - cannot find an abiding city. Did he undergo a sex change and become Ms. Cast instead of Mr. King? Miscast as a T-20 specialist now miscast as an opener. His once promising career has not reached the height one would have expected.

@JoeGrine

I would give him some time. Early days yet in his test career and at least he is trending in a decent direction so far. He is no Lara, Chanders, Gayle, Sarwan, Hooper type batsman so far but he has done himself credit in the opening role as far as I am concerned

@Slipfeeler

well done
