Yippee.....Here;s the breakthrough..!!

50.5 Muralitharan to Bravo, OUT, Sri Lanka finally get the breakthrough, flighted on middle and off, Bravo gives him the charge but ends up spooning it back to Murali who shows good reflexes and hangs onto it, the ball travelled fairly quickly off the bat. Very enterprising knock by Bravo given the circumstances, he deserved a ton .


DJ Bravo c & b Muralitharan 83 (189m 169b 10x4 1x6) SR: 49.11

157/2 (52.3 ov)

Need another one very quickly!

 

[fazaal24]

Need another one very quickly!

Sarwan would be a big wicket as u said in the 1st Innings too!

West Indies have managed to bat out the last couple of hours safely. There was a difference in strategy from yesterday evening and the right one too, with spinners from either end. Jayawardene persisted with Herath for a very long period even though he never looked like picking up a wicket. Bravo fell to Murali while giving him the charge, but all in all, this was West Indies' session. Sarwan will have to stay on, no matter what the strategy is.

If v r to win this v need 2 quick wickets as soon as it strt after lunch break!
Wicket of Sarwan @ Chandrapaul will be crucial n ayle wicket should not also be taken lightly
