Come Sunday, the twin towers will be blown away by Gayl Storm

Srilanka will play dirty, that is for sure. But this West Indian team has peaked at the right time. Mahela, Sanga and Dilshan are due to fail, given their consistency so far. Badree and Sunil Narine have done amazingly well so far and can match the Lankans. Rampaul is bowling well as is Edwards, if gets to play ahead of Andre Russell. Marlon,Bravo, Pollard are coming alive at the right moment and if Gayle succeeds again this will be a final to remember.

This time it was Marlon Samuels who smashed the Lankans even as Gayle did not blow. The Lankans were cautious and once it started drizzling the skipper, of all people panicked and the Caribbeans were able to split open the homeside, flat track bullies. Having said that Srilanka don't do well outside the subcontient. If they had somehow won, it would have inflated them needlessly. After so many years SL is not a cricket nation, people will travel far to see. At best it is a glorified minnow with creditable performances in the shorter formats. But outside the sub continent they are weak.
