SportsTranscript
00:00A task ahead of them, this West Indian team with direct qualification on their minds.
00:07For the Sri Lankans though, they are well poised at position number six on the table
00:13and they have a battery of wonderful players.
00:16Justin Graves in all likelihood will be at the top of the order,
00:19but it's the middle with Casey Carty, Shea Hope, Sheafin, Rutherford.
00:23They've been scoring the bulk of the runs.
00:25Tremendous responsibility for these two, Carlos Brathwaite still alongside me.
00:31Carlos, you were out there, you had a look at the surface, 9.30 a.m. start.
00:35What's key for these two batters as they head out to face that new ball?
00:40I think it's going to be one of the most challenging passages of play with what we expect to be.
00:46A little bit of moisture, it did look quite dry, the pitch.
00:49But you have to find the best balance between seeing off the new ball as well as scoring through.
00:57Dropped!
00:59First ball should have been taken as easy as they come for Casey Carty.
01:05Perhaps too easy.
01:07A loose win factor that we'll be looking at closely throughout the course of the day.
01:12And there is that open.
01:15And now every run scored by Patom Nisanka will weigh heavily on his mind.
01:20The best thing for Casey Carty.
01:22He has done well and Jadon Seals in particular in the recent pass at home is that he hasn't given
01:29too many.
01:31They've beaten all ends up.
01:33This one coming back in through the bat and the pad and somehow misses the stumps as well.
01:40Yeah, that's the pattern to come.
01:43They'll be looking on quite intently.
01:45That's what's happening out in the middle.
01:52Yeah, Matthew Ford has been given the new ball.
02:00Huge appeal.
02:02Nothing from the umpire.
02:03They will consider the review.
02:06Almost certainly based on...
02:11That was the attempted away-seam option.
02:20Too high.
02:21But that movement again in and out from Jadon Seals.
02:29Patom Nisanka away.
02:33It's taken him ten balls.
02:35And judging by that delivery, it was worth the wait.
02:41Well, I watched.
02:43I mean, Sheldon Cottrell trapped Martin Goptil at LBW.
02:56White ball.
02:57First wide of the innings.
03:00Started to wide and went further away from...
03:05Sri Lanka returned to Jamaica and Sabina Park for the first time since 2013.
03:13What a shot.
03:15Absolutely majestic from Kamindo Mendes.
03:18Picked up, heaved away over the Kingston Cricket Club.
03:22First six of the innings.
03:26Well, the fourth umpire is on the field with his bagel.
03:31He has a challenge on his hands.
03:36And also...
03:39Great.
03:40Really exceptional from Raston Chase.
03:42He's a tall man.
03:43But he has the...
03:45Really seems subtle.
03:46Nine from 18 in this innings so far.
03:52If he doesn't stop it, he'll have to chase it.
03:5522 without loss.
03:57oh you go back to 2023 when he captained sri lanka for a period of 2023
04:09yes he he carries quite a bit of um responsibility drop quite watchful
04:15kusel mendes you look at his statistic
04:21well i think i think this probably would be one of the challenges for the new coach
04:26uh gary kirsten can he bring up impressive really good take as well from she hope very good delivery
04:37to start from shema joseph this offering of a bit of wit to nesanka at first ball that
04:46climbed at him at a good very good it's where you want to be not allowing him to free his
04:53arms albeit his yeah he saw that coming picked the length brilliantly and just swatted it
05:02to the onside
05:07and for 10 long months sitting
05:28it's been a very good over so far line and lengths have been immaculate from alzari joseph
05:35a strain with the line on that occasion and pick up four runs to end
05:47that's his line that's his line that is me a proven test match ballers they know how to
05:53ball a four stump line trilanka yeah right there jimmy there you see bit of an edge there so there
06:02you go they keep strengthening your point looks to go big very good length there from shema joseph
06:09not able to get on top of that one and he finishes on a high note end of the 12th
06:18over sri lanka 44 for
06:19one hasn't been a bad effort from the west indians
06:31and and that's precisely why matthew ford is used at the top of the order it's not as quick
06:44straight to get here to be a good point
06:50that's why this is a great point of the order for you to come up and you can get on
06:54top of the order
06:54um and for the order of the order
06:55the order
06:55are all right
06:58and for that
07:00the order of the order for that is said
07:06comfortable single for the saw to finish a very interesting phase of the game
07:16coming up this on Mendes just having to reach for that one think that if the
07:23spinners are to get any purchase on the surface it'll be more than 53 for one
07:28Sri Lanka beginning the CWA ODI series they'll be pleased that pattern this
07:34tankers in the great way to begin the home summer superb weather as well and
07:41lovely to see the inter-secondary school sports association
07:48I'm a badger alongside Sam what are we to make of the first 14 overs yeah hello
07:56Nick a little bit of a fumble results just wonder if he saw Kusa Mendes coming
08:09across the stumps and trade for the it was a wonderful little contest to see
08:16between Azari and his brother oh the full one very full and why I wonder with
08:30those two feeders as well leg side and the wind direction if there's the
08:34opportunity to stray at this time this anchor is able to cash in slightly
08:41expensive start for Joseph in his return
09:00quite interested to see what happens with coming new Mendes as you go through the
09:04series right initially simply too easy with mid on in the circle it brings up the
09:1250 part that you mentioned the middle overs it's one of the wickets in hand but
09:15it's the middle fees that generally signals the team the team longer he stays
09:25there you know the he's worked he mentioned his power hitting we've seen it
09:33yeah remember quite vividly Nikhil and viewers it's been remarkable to see the
09:40meteoric rise 78 for one and it entices him to come down the pitch and it's just
09:51has enough to evade Shamar Joseph then for good occasion what he's such an improved
10:01bowler since late last year where he went so the wide been trying to get his
10:09radar right was very surprised today Sam to see that Joseph is well before they get
10:20there they need that at all cost from a West Indian perspective though they need to
10:26go at least recently so they too know what it's like to miss out on a global
10:31showpiece event but from a West Indian perspective
10:38dangerous proposition when you come up against teams with nothing to lose we've
10:42seen it that's a line in this over just challenging of study after slow going in
10:52the first time they've picked up well they'll be looking definitely at that 276
11:00authoritative and very convincing from Kusa menace who again uses his feet and
11:06takes on good occasion Moti dexterity following up the power and it will be
11:16back to back boundaries and Sri Lanka as the hundred comes up growing in strength
11:24he goes again six ago
11:29who sell men as dominant yes sometimes you just have to tip your cup to the butter
11:37there is something in the server
11:39Oh channel from Joseph but the length would have come into this series
11:50planning for him knowing that he relies heavily on the sweep shot against spin
11:55so they just find out next over well fielded by Matthew Ford in the end but
12:03it'll be a couple of runs to bring up a 36 one the international have sent 112 for
12:12one a run about 90 this partnership between these two bottom the Sanka reprieve
12:19first ball of the innings and cushion Mendes see why West Indies decided to go
12:29back to Jaden seals I'll beat it it's a big playing sir
12:41I think the only thing that saves him here is
12:58beautiful Jamaica in my opinion best food in the Caribbean
13:02I'll try to sample as much of it as I can to ensure that
13:09loud appeal she hope hasn't moved and you can definitely see the plan I'm just wondering
13:21instead of the fact that they burnt a review the previous over but yeah back to your point you look
13:29at Nisanka nice touch it's a gaping hole between what the square mid wicket
13:41yeah they've brought stability to the innings Mendes and Nisanka
13:50and the 23 123 for one
14:01a drop a run and a milestone
14:10smashed wide of mid on picked up off a length cushion Mendes has started to mortar along firstly
14:17our spin no more runs here ill-directed by Jaden seals and Kusel Mendes the skipper helps himself to back
14:30-to-back
14:30bond they're very attacking to that Kingston cricket club side we're there
14:41and it's showing this as if they're playing home Carlos shown really good awareness of the conditions
14:50once again full and straight once again capitalized the
15:04just wonder if Ross and Chase can go around the wicket
15:19against the wind
15:24you're adjusting
15:29a knight in shining arm where i'm told
15:31and it picked up the score in a ray Chilanka
15:39and spoken about consistency in this format
15:53yeah well played again they're taking over nicely you can see that timing
15:58by employing more and more slow balls as the seamers
16:03yeah that's a start square on the offside
16:15balls for 50
16:17getting low
16:21yeah Matthew Ford doing a good job you'll say since his reintroduction
16:30take back to the very first delivery of the game
16:33where
16:37full and hammered
16:41but on the side that continues to be
16:49a full toss
16:52and a wicket and a jig for Matthew Ford
16:56by the reading of the game
16:58Fulcher Mendes
16:58Jules
17:01which one football team
17:09was it's a
17:13pound
17:13of the time
17:24maybe
17:24but
17:26well they do have the opportunity here I think
17:42but away the leg cutter and he's also got the back of the hand delivery which
17:48we've seen in the t20 format so you're seeing the foot somewhat in the mode of
17:54a a Dwayne Bravo not quick but smart and with very
18:03I wonder if she hope goes back to either one of the Joseph's
18:07a man who is part of many of those wins Jimmy Adams is
18:47not surprising that as Mendes has been dismissed he now will do the majority of
18:53but you must give him credit for sticking it though making sure that you folks for the next
18:59month start today and then we into June we get into the one international series then
19:06the t20 is also here at Sabina Park in the series one seven six four two
19:25177 for two no boundary for the last 13 delivery so since the wicked of Kusa Mendes continue the success
19:37well done she hope that is stupendous it has taken a moment of brilliance to dismiss Patum Nisanka who's in
19:46shaman a left-hander in now so critical presence for the bottom of the bat after having hit the side
19:56pod
19:58what do we make of the West Indians effort with the ball so far Stacey
20:06but good placement that is sublime from Asalanka just uses the pace and the angle to perfection
20:19the smash back past him doesn't time it well enough the first of three consecutive home series for the
20:26West not control but gets a four nonetheless maybe a little bit fortuitous beats the field in the deep a
20:38good start to do in the air feel the circles settles and takes the catch hitting into the wind always
20:55a
20:56little bit tricky and rust and chase gets another
21:13matchups more often than not as innocuous as he may have seen from time to
21:17effect
21:22and you can't follow up the Yorker with a half-volley
21:28innovative
21:36wide and forwards 250 comes up
21:49and Leonar again using the pace so nicely
22:04face off again but Leonar again able to get underneath the ball and just shovel it over the
22:11field pause in the backswing you potentially hit off center you get a catch
22:18another opportunity this time gone pouch by Jaden Seals and a little bit of a jig from Matthew Ford once
22:28again
22:30we've had a real strangle
22:41shot from Asaranga giving himself some room finding it see this goes shot at his hook high there's a man
22:51underneath it and it's a catch taken Shafi and Rutherford coming in having to cover some ground and
22:59and
23:01Hassaranga
23:04for the wide you think they tried for the second they do the ballers end and he gets home safe
23:12Tiksana
23:15ends of good innings for Sri Lanka and a top cameo from Janet Leonar again 44 not
23:28and
23:29and this man on screen Shea Hope will be vital
23:32R to get this
23:33303
23:34he'll be one of the highest successful chases for them in ODI cricket
23:38about 4th or 5th highest
23:40and it would be comfortably
23:43the highest successful chase at Kingston
23:46here at Sabina Park
23:48255 for 2
23:50South Africa chasing down the Westinies in 2005 is the highest to date
23:57both ways at high pace
23:58we'll be looking forward to getting stuck in in a pitch that has a little bit of grass
24:03what do you see
24:10the length to start
24:12so
24:13we're not a swing ball
24:16picked up
24:17for six
24:21we talked about win factor
24:25John
24:26trying again a little bit straighter this time
24:32settling for leg by
24:34John Campbell
24:35John Campbell
24:36Justin Graves
24:36it's a power pack 3, 4 and 5
24:38K security
24:39Shea Hope
24:40and
24:42upish
24:43but safe
24:44you then want your engine room
24:47to be impactful
24:48not take long to get in
24:50and I think that is why
24:52none of them are openers
24:54Django may want to put his hand up to open
24:56if any of these two fail
24:58so all
25:00short
25:01rushed
25:03but a boundary
25:04that was quick
25:07lucky for the batter
25:08John
25:10John Campbell
25:20Hooked ferociously
25:23climbed to that
25:24Justin Graves
25:25he
25:26has it
25:26Ferociously
25:30Shot
25:31From Justin Graves
25:35beautiful cover drive
25:39none overturned
25:41till now five hours gone 34 without loss
25:49deft
25:50from John Campbell
25:53just allowing the ball to hit the bat
25:56and guiding it beautifully
25:58to the highest level
26:01yeah you even remember playing some
26:21just like that and it's a chance
26:23and it's a direct hit
26:30there was a little bit of a shift from
26:33John Campbell to evade it
26:36Casey Cartier at number three a healthy
26:38average of four
26:41what a shot from Justin Graves again
26:43off the bat for punching
26:46imperiously through the offside
26:51a good start for the Westernese an
26:53important strike for Shrila
26:56shot glorious from Justin Graves
27:00absolute
27:01and three that's what they're looking to
27:04yeah
27:04he never given himself too much room
27:07and that's the skill and quality of
27:10Mahesh Diksana he is a wicket taker and
27:14Graves
27:15she who with his exceptional rep
27:19sitting currently at number seven in the
27:22ice
27:23oh
27:25beaten again
27:27really good examination from Tick
27:31bowling straight
27:32is going to be probably
27:35the best approach
27:44is misbehave few and far between
27:47we're trying to keep that
27:49happy w
27:53220
27:54more needed
27:56quite a lot
28:17just his second one international after
28:19playing against Bangladesh last year
28:25in a new role
28:29just wanted
28:31he started to question the decision making
28:41can't get it past it on Sheeho
28:4491 for two
28:51for him personally
28:52his home record is
28:57find a way to get
28:59the wicket taker
29:07almost seeing the
29:08exact contrast
29:13Carlos you've been in
29:15many of one international teams you've had to chase 300 plus
29:21a fish
29:22the partnerships are helped
29:24if one person gets in
29:25and goes big
29:26and be
29:27different ways of
29:30approaching
29:32bowlers from each end
29:33but also scoring areas
29:39well
29:40nothing what
29:40Justin Graves and John Campbell were able to do with that
29:43things have slowed
29:46tremendously since the power play
29:51you've had to do with that
29:53was reading up on him
29:5316 years old he was
29:57just wonder how much
29:58contrast between
30:00quick
30:03and
30:06you think
30:10welcome to know they've been playing in well
30:15first one international for the Westernese this year is such an important
30:21that logic Carlos should we let the batters say when they didn't hit the ball then
30:26since we're sick
30:30someone off the bat
30:31it's a really exciting summer for for Jamaica actually Carlos
30:45continue to attack a Cita 111 for two
30:50J hope struggling with some crap 19 or the hundreds Carlos eight of them in the second innings of games
30:58so it's offspin
31:01they had
31:05a sign of intent from West Sydney's captain first ball boundary
31:24just over Hasaranga
31:29could be a critical moment looking back in this game
31:34the bills 50 partnership
31:39oh my word
31:41is it a player or a plane
31:43come in tremendous
31:46that is unbelievable
31:49the chase is well and truly on here at Sabina Park
31:53you say with that outstanding grab
31:59importantly both of the spinners have been quite economical
32:02so if
32:12no he raises the finger
32:14so not too long after
32:17impact in line
32:19and wickets hitting
32:20Leslie you can stay with your original decision of out
32:24stand by
32:28Samuel Badri
32:29think I might buy you
32:31a broad hat
32:32and get you out there
32:33hasaranga
32:38good afternoon Jimmy
32:44it's gone high and it's gone long
32:46it's the first boundary in 50 delivery
32:49six offers done maybe that signals the end of a spell
32:58we'll get there
32:59he really is greatness in this format it is 50 scores of 50 plus
33:09that has been hit sweetly
33:11and even though
33:13Patun Nysaika got there
33:16had too much pace on it
33:20pace off
33:21the change to get Shamira back has worked miracles
33:26it could be the deciding moment in this game
33:30huge from Sri Lanka
33:39awareness of when to utilize the spinners and which ends
33:43and the bowlers they have executed their plans quite well
33:49and that occasion looking for that Yorker
33:51but just a bit too wide
33:54Fernando
33:55you got to catch Morty is just too good
34:06gone big Morty
34:08that's into the wind
34:10and gone
34:14more team

34:39another for Chamira
34:41another step closer to victory for Sri Lanka
34:47no one went to hit the poles indeed
34:55that's well connected that's in the gap and just one bounce for four
35:01Shamara Joseph in a winning position Shamira
35:05clean him up straight Yoko a four-wicket hole he's been exceptional today
35:12Dushmanta Shamira the leader of this attack and he's showing them how to get
35:17it done unbeaten 29 for Jadon Seals
35:27shot into the body of well watched he doesn't want to give
