Super Eights - West Indies vs Sri Lanka
Play will be starting very soon in this crucial Super Eights game. West Indies would have to win to give themselves a shot at making the semi-finals of this tournament.
So far, play has been delayed by 35 mins but we should see play start at 10:15am local time which is about 10 mins from now.
Cricinfo are telling me that there are some cracks in the pitch but it should be good to bat on although there seems to be more rain on the way.
This weather is very unlike the Carribean for this time of year. We are supposed to be in the dry season yet we keep having all this rain. It is proving to be a real annoynace for the tournament.
West Indies XI: CH Gayle, S Chanderpaul, RR Sarwan, MN Samuels, BC Lara*, DJ Bravo, D Ramdin+, DR Smith, DB Powell, JE Taylor, IDR Bradshaw
Sri Lanka XI: WU Tharanga, ST Jayasuriya, KC Sangakkara+, DPMD Jayawardene*, LPC Silva, TM Dilshan, RP Arnold, CRD Fernando, WPUJC Vaas, SL Malinga, M Muralitharan
West Indies have won the toss and have decided to bowl first. Should be a good toss to win and the Windies would be looking to take early wickets.
Glad to see Bradshaw back in the side, Taylor also come back into the team. Collymore and Simmons are the players that have been omitted.
