Catch up with all the action from Sri Lanka vs. West Indies live online with the help of the amazing Sri Lanka cricket services that are available here. The Sri Lankan tour of West Indies has taken a very interesting turn. The 181 run defeat handed out by Sri Lanka to the Wes Indian team has come as a bit of a surprise owing to the almost impeccable home record of the West Indians. The West Indian started the last day of the first test match on a high with the all rounder Dwayne Bravo scoring a heady 83 runs at a rapid pace. But that was perhaps the only high point for the West Indian team. The lanky Sri Lankan pace man then took charge of proceedings and started ripping through the batting line up of the Caribbean side with ease.

The Sri Lankan team has been in great form of late. The recent test match victory emphasizes that very fact. The team also looks like a balanced unit. The great depression that Sri Lankan cricket faced after some of its greatest performers retired now finally seems to be over. The first test match saw some spectacular performances from all departments. The batting department fired from the first day itself and helped the Sri Lankan team reach a heady total of 476. Mahela Jayawardene and Malinda Warnapura top scored with individual scores of 136 and 120 respectively. Opener Vandort and tail ender Chaminda Vaas scored half centuries thus adding some useful runs to the total of the Sri Lankan team. The bowling department then took over immediately and ensured that the West Indian batsmen are not given an opportunity to be comfortable. Chaminda Vaas, Muttiah Murlitharan, and Mirando took 3 wickets each and together bundled out West Indies for a paltry score of 280. Man of the match Chaminda Vaas is expected to be at his best in the second test match as well. Besides Vaas, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumara Sangakkara are expected to play pivotal roles in test second test match.

The West Indian team suffered a disappointing loss at the hands of the Sri Lankan team. Despite the 181 run loss, the match saw some fine performances from various players of the Caribbean side. In the first innings, Jermaine Taylor impressed with his bowling and took 4 wickets while Ramnaresh Sarwan scored an impressive 80 of 199 balls. Almost all other batsmen got starts but were unable to convert those starts into a big score. SJ Benn and Dwayne Bravo have also shown some form with the bowl and picked 3 wickets a piece in the match. This performance is however under par as compared to the high standards that they set in the recent past. These second test match should be a thrilling encounter owing to the fact that several of the West Indian batsmen are expected to come good in the match and are expected to score a big one.
