magical Herath turns Sri Lanka to innings win
Sri Lanka 484 (Karunaratne 184, Chandimal 151, Bishoo 4-143) beat West Indies 251 (Bravo 50, Herath 6-68) and (f/o) 227 (Blackwood 92, Herath 4-79) by an innings and 6 runs
Rangana Herath got his fifth 10-wicket match pull in Tests as Sri Lanka wrapped up triumph by an innings and six keeps running inside the second session of day four. West Indies, who started the day two down for 67, lost eight wickets on the fourth day for the expansion of 160 runs, and as in the first innings, some of their batsmen neglected to profit by begins. Their just comfort originated from Jermaine Black wood, who added an armada footed 92 to a string of eye-getting late exhibitions that have checked him out as a positive venture for what's to come.
Three of Herath's five ten-fors have now come in Galle. Maybe nobody has comprehended this surface and also him. Indeed, even Muttiah Muralitharan, who finished his vocation with an amazing 22 ten-fors, just accomplished the deed four times here.
The pitch for this match was moderate even by all accounts, and none of alternate spinners from both sides figured out how to remain a wicket-taking risk. By assaulting the stumps perseveringly and giving the batsmen no breathing space, Herath made the most of each ball - each unobtrusive variety of pace and direction. Batsmen were stuck in an unfortunate situation about each time they went ahead rather than back or back rather than forward, or played for turn when there was none.
West Indies started the fourth day two down, confronting a shortage of 166. Maybe they may have given themselves trust by envisioning a situation where their nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo stayed nearby sufficiently long to disturb the Sri Lankans while maybe a couple of their pro batsmen made hundreds. As right on time as the fifth over of the morning, Herath thumped those dreams out of their heads.
Initially, he sent back Bishoo, who scratched an endeavored square-slice to slip. In came Marlon Samuels, and out he went first ball, however not before calling for a standout amongst the most unnecessary audits ever. Remaining focused back foot to a ball from Herath he ought to have been on the front foot to, Samuels carried arms. The ball slid in with the edge and pinged his back cushion. Possibly Samuels trusted the ball had struck him somewhat outside the line - that being said, he was putting forth no shot. In the occasion, it had hit him in accordance with off stump, and was bound to hit center stump, three-fourths of the route up.
Nuwan Pradeep who had a blended Test, was wrenching up great pace and playing a couple of good balls and a ton of poor ones. In the eighth over of the morning, he knocked down some pins his best chunk of the match. Circumventing the wicket, he hit a decent length in the hallway and got this show on the road the ball to rectify a touch. Darren Bravo, pushing half-forward to shield, could just edge it to the guardian.
In spite of the fact that Sri Lanka took four key wickets in the session, they indicated proof of an alarming over-dependence on Herath, with their move down spinners spilling rushes to Jermaine Blackwood and Denesh Ramdin when the left-arm spinner left the field quickly. However, the West Indies batsmen did not demonstrate the best energy about which balls to follow, and neglected to make that over-dependence hurt Sri Lanka in any capacity.
Towards the end of day three, Kraigg Brathwaite and Darren Bravo had gained by Herath's nonattendance to take 39 keeps running from 11 overs knocked down some pins by Pradeep, Milinda Siriwardana and Tharindu Kaushal. Presently, Siriwardana and Kaushal rocked the bowling alley a progression of full-hurls and short balls to yield four fours in two overs to Ramdin and Blackwood.
Blackwood, looking in smooth touch, kept batting with opportunity throughout the following couple of overs, utilizing his feet to get down the track to dispatch Kaushal over mid-on for six and drive Siriwardana back to front for four.
Be that as it may, exactly when the organization was giving West Indies the merest promise of something better, Ramdin drove freely at Siriwardana and scratched to second slip. Blackwood just about took after Ramdin to the changing area in Siriwardana's next over, edging him while attempting to make room and drive regardless of not getting to the ball's pitch. In any case, Angelo Mathews, who was strangely liberal at slip in this Test match, spilled the avoidance off Kusal Perera's glove.
Blackwood made due through to lunch, and came to his half-century before long. Jason Holder stuck around sufficiently long to include 36 with him for the seventh wicket before he was run out in somewhat shocking circumstances. Venturing out to whip Herath into the leg side, he played over the ball which redirected off his cushion to Mathews at slip. Spotting Holder out of his wrinkle, he tossed down the stumps direct.
Herath then uprooted Kemar Roach in a rep lay of his first-innings release. An enticingly loopy conveyance, dropping barely shy of the batsman's achieve, a major hurl and miss, and an alarm Kusal Perera whipping the safeguards off with the batsman's back toe on hold. At the point when Dhammika Prasad caught Jerome Taylor with a full, straight ball in the following over, West Indies were nine down, with 44 still to get the chance to evade innings rout.
Blackwood had one and only alternative left - ranch the strike and attempt to get West Indies as close as could be expected under the circumstances. Out came the moving footwork, and he hit Herath for two fours and two sixes, all down the ground, in the space of nine balls. Shaken for once, Herath sent down a short ball, and Blackwood level batted it to the spread limit.
He could just do as such much without anyone else's input, however. Batting on 92 with each of the nine defenders on the limit, he kept running down the track to the third wad of Prasad's over, and just figured out how to choose profound additional spread. Maybe he could have held up several balls, for the field to come in and attempt to keep him on strike. It would have just deferred the unavoidable.
