Its Only Cricket

Filed under SL in WI 2008

10 test matches in total, Srilanka have beaten West Indies 5 times & lost only twice. Interestingly, Sri Lanka have never won a test match in West Indies..!

March April 2008 schedule for Srilanka tour of West Indies has been fixed which will give Lankan tigers another chance to rewrite history. Srilanka came 3rd in Triseries in Australia (involving India) just a month ago - so they also have some points to prove.

On other hand, West Indies made some promises by winning their first ever test match in South Africa at the beginging of this year, then lost everything else on that tour.. so, they too will be under pressure to perform under on conditions.

This is only the 3rd time Srilanka cricket team will be touring West Indies after their visits in 1997 & 2003.
