Gabriel was told to go out and bowl as fast as he could and not worry about control.
He did get it up but also bowled a fearsome bouncer that struck a Durham batsman on the helmet.

It is the other way around because you almost gave me an heart attack when you said West Indies had 9 points more than Sri Lanka.

According to the ICC Rankings Predictor, if West Indies were to win the series 2-0, they would actually jump ahead of Sri Lanka into seventh place in the rankings.

Re: Closing the 8 point Gap :W.I. vs Sri Lanka - TRINIDADDY - 09-17-2015
Gonna be an interesting tour. On paper, WI's the better team, but SL is unpredictable and they prepare weird pitches nowadays. Historically, SL used to be all flat tracks, slow batting and spin. Nowadays, though, SL play fast bowlers and their pitches only turns spin friendly on day 4 or 5.
They're probably analysing our batsmen right now and trying to determine what we're most unable to cope with. Bravo is a bit of a flat-track bully and loves slow, low pitches. My gut tells me guys like Blackwood is the opposite. Dowrich and Paint are anomalies (Paint has a decent record in India).

The WICB is making positive steps to return the Windies to their glory days

Glory days coming in about 25 years. Big PUC will be looking down from on high when that happens.

"We are now the worst fielding side in Asia, we were never behind Pakistan but now we have gone behind them,"
Jayaratne told The Nation.
"India proved that they were better than us and even Bangladesh are fielding better than us."
