"We've been facing Carl Mumba who has been bowling very fast, so West Indies' pace won't be a problem, rather the ball seaming around will be the challenge for us."
Sri Lanka batsman Dhananjaya de Silva feels movement, rather than pace, will be West Indies' key weapon
Recognition of Mumba's pace by oppposition batsman Dhananjaya de Silva. Feels good :)

I'm stating the obvious here, but we need a win urgently. What's our longest losing streak? We must be fast approaching it.

We can't get excited about anyone because we can't bridge the gap between schoolboy and senior cricket.

There's a Sri Lankan called Dickwella! He must be related to Sincere.

Sri Lanka are looking sharp. Symcox is knowledgeable but annoying. Vusi speaks well, but should be with the boys in Bulawayo.

Dunno who's listening but Vusi is hilarious. Had a good dip at Symcox which ruffled his feathers, [mod: snip]!!

Fair play I say. I remember Symcox putting Vusi in an awkward position when commentating on the tests by repeatedly trying to get him to say who should be dropped from the team to make way for a specialist keeper. Obviously it's difficult for someone like Vusi to comment on such matters when he's still somewhat part of the setup and could still potentially play alongside any of the men out there.

I wonder how much they get paid to commentate? Great job if you have the knowledge. Walter is also a good commentator.
I see BT is also up there, it would be nice if his partner asked him what his plans were.
Have we won a game without Taylor? We really need him back.

There's either 6 or 8 commentators doing shifts. It's hardly tough work, seems a little unnecessary.
