SL vs WI | 2nd Test: Spin duo Permaul and Warrican dismantle Sri Lanka for 204

Sri Lanka started the second day’s proceedings of the second Test at Galle at the overnight score of 113-1 and were looking to capitalise on the momentum from Pathum Nissanka’s half-century who was unbeaten at 61. However, Veerasammy Permaul, playing his first Test in seven years had other ideas as he pulled out the career-best performance with the ball to dismantle the Lankan middle order and trigger a collapse. Sri Lanka lost its last nine wickets in a span of just 65 runs and 19.3 overs with Permaul accounting for five of the nine dismissals. He was helped equally by Jomel Warrican who picked up the remaining four wickets. The start to the wicket-taking spree of the Wets Indies team was initiated by Warrican who removed Oshada Fernando early in the morning to break the overnight stand. Permaul then got the wicket of Nissanka as his first scalp of the game. Angelo Mathews was retired hurt in the meanwhile due to hamstring injury, but the sequence of falling wickets unfolded as if planed by some divine intervention. One after the other it just kept falling apart. None among Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva and Ramesh Mendis could get to double figures. Charith Asalanka, who was making his Test debut was also dumbfounded and became Permaul’s third scalp, getting out for 10. Had it not been for some lusty blows at the end from Mathews who came back after the fall of the eights wicket, it would have been difficult for Sri Lanka to even get past the 200 run mark. Eventually with no help from lower-order either, the team folded for 204. In reply, West Indies haven’t lost even a single wicket having scored 12 at the time of writing this.

West Indies Test training squad, management receives Covid-19 vaccine jabs

Jomel Warrican and Chemar Holder were among the Eleven players and support staff members of the West Indies’ red ball training squad that received Covid-19 vaccine jabs in St. Lucia on May 19. The two other members of the squad received their second jab as well. The doses were administered to the squad members by Cricket West Indies in partnership with the Government of St. Lucia and the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA). It wasn’t compulsory for all the members of the squad to get vaccinated, although some of them have already been vaccinated in their home countries and would receive their second jab in St. Lucia. CWI’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr Israel Dowlat thanked the CARPHA and Govt. of St. Lucia for their support. “We are extremely grateful to have our governments and CARPHA who have been partnering with us to host cricket safely and to get our squads vaccinated.” On their part, CARPHA Executive Director Dr Joy St. John thanked the cricket team, which holds a lot of important and influential capacity in the Caribbean, for helping it promote vaccination at the times when the US influenced NOVAX gang is also being a great influence among the Caribbean people. "Cricket West Indies is leading the way in helping to raise awareness of the need to get vaccinated. They have been actively encouraging their players and staff to get vaccinated and we urge the people of CARICOM to follow them to safety by getting their vaccines as soon as possible," he said. Both the red ball and white ball squad is training in St. Lucia ahead of their upcoming cricket of summer which will see them participate in a total of 22 games across all formats within a span of three months. This includes two-Test series of two matches each against South Africa and one three-match ODI series against Australia. The Men in Maroon will also play a match T20I series with each team as well. The first assignment is Kraigg Brathwaite’s team taking on Dean Elgar’s in the first Test at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St. Lucia from June 10 onwards.
