Answer 3

Windies are improving  about time too

Answer 4

You do have to remember that this Sri Lankan bowling line-up is inexperienced at the highest level.

The combined amount of matches of your bowling attack (not including Vaas) is only 43 matches !!!. So each player has only played on average 10 matches each !!.

You can't expect young bowlers to take a barrelful of wickets every match, the bowling attack is very talented (Mendis looks exceptional) BUT experience counts for a lot in international cricket, so when the going gets tough can the Sri Lankan bowlers stand up and be counted ?

In this match it looks like the youngsters have let the team down, BUT Chattergoon has also played very well. Anyway every team who missed 4 key bowlers in a series would struggle (Malinga, Murali, Fernando and Maharoof).

I would say the batting has let Sri Lanka down rather than the bowling, in the 2nd and 3rd match there has been a top order collapse, so the batsmen are more to blame than the bowlers.

Answer 5

WI improving

Answer 6

I think that Sri Lankan Bowlers have not been able to bowl as effectively in West Indies pitches. Even the most dependable Muralitharan has failed to deliver.

As it stands now West Indies are likely to win the 3rd ODI also.

Answer 7

both
