Over #8: First Among Prequels Note: Go here for answers to and our " leader board " at the end of Over #7 of "Think it Over" . England recently won their first-ever multi-national (loosely defined) tournament by taking home the ICC WT20 trophy. India had done so famously in the Prudential...

West Indies have done enough to keep their supporters interested and with only 2 wickets gone, if they can score 60 runs in overs 11-15, they really will have a chance. Anything less in terms of runs or more than 5 in terms of total wickets lost will mean visions of death here for the Windies. As I typed...

Gayle and Chanderpaul, especially the latter, got the team off to a good start. But then, once they departed, the bowling improved as well and with Nuwan and Angelo hitting the right areas at the right speed, the new entrants at the crease, Sarwan and Bravo, couldn't time or place the ball for runs...

195 is a target that should be beyond Gayle & co., especially given the guile of Muralidharan & co. But it is T20 after all. Let's see any hits from the Windies' bats brings any giggles to their supporters. COW: 61% to Sri Lanka

Roach comes back into the attack in over #18. Only bowler who's been able to keep the Lankans quiet. Pollard did that to some extent. Sammy was not even given a 2nd look by Gayle on this track. So was the case with Bravo. On this pitch, you either have express pace or you bowl spin. If you bowl anything...

The Mahela-Sanga partnership goes on. West Indies' poor fielding goes on and on ... Wicket keeper first misses a stumping to a well adjusted wide ball from Benn that left Mahela. Then in the same over, the 15th, the 'keeper and short thirdman ... Wavell ... conspire to not even attempt a catch...

Kemar Roach the only pure pacer who could and did exploit these Bajan conditions. Gayle choosing to keep him for the later stages. Taylor loses rhythm, but is brought back here in the 13th over. 2 overs and 19 runs don't augur well for a strong comeback. Sri Lanka: 106/1 in 12 ov. Jayawardena getting...

Benn, Bravi, Benn, Sammy and Pollard bowled the 2nd bunch of 5 overs in that order. Mahela was in his element once again and played with such touch and flair and aggression with equal, if unpredictably timed, doses that the West Indian skipper could neither keep track of nor check on it. Sangakkara picked...

After a ferocious start from Kemar Roach on a pitch tailormade for him and his bowling partner, Jerome Taylor, Sri Lanka wrestle back the momentum with a good and sensible risk-free partnership between their batting stalwarts of the new millennium, Sangakkara and Jayawardena. It was good to see Sanath...
