Sri Lanka v West Indies, 1st Test, Galle

So why a DUCK in the warm up Match  :-\

because you need some curry duck to hit the ball

Take wickets

He can be !

Well if he can take this mediocre team and actually start to avoid losing so many games then he could be a nominee for one of the better captains. All the odds suggests that he will fail so it is up to him.

Or maybe Samuels is anxious to add more ducks to his already large duck farm! He better do something this tour or else his days could also be numbered by the WICB and its selectors.  8)

Someone has to tame Randiv and any odda spinner ...like BCL did  8)

"Brian watched a lot of tapes of Muralitharan.

Roger Harper tried to assist the batting group by inviting many local spinners with similar actions:

to bowl at the net sessions"

There have been intermittent rains in the days preceding this match, but Galle has produced its usual tawny-coloured surface, on which there should be plenty of turn as the game wears on. There may also be a little movement in the air with the new ball, with all the wet weather around.

Quote:"Brian watched a lot of tapes of Muralitharan.

This new team is probably still watching Lendl Simmons' tapes.
