That concludes all the razzmatazz from this Test match. It's been a great pleasure bringing you all the red-ball action and hope you enjoyed as much as we did. Another test of patience and skill awaits Holder's men as they engage against the Emerald Islanders again from the 22nd of October. Do join us for that game. Till then, from all of us here, goodbye and remember to enjoy your weekend. THE END (for this Test match).Mathews: "Absolutely. We've got the players who can deliver for us and we saw that in the game. Some brilliant individual performances, especially from Karunaratne who notched up his highest Test score. Rangana was outstanding and you can't keep him out of a Galle Test. I hope the rest of the players come to the party in the next game. On a wicket like this, he (Siriwardana) was very useful as he can bowl a bit of spin. We played him as a batsman, who can bowl a few overs.
Chandimal also played a good hand and overall I'm happy with the win."Holder: "Yeah! We have a lot of things to learn. We didn't apply ourselves with the bat. Had we done well in the first innings, it could have been different. We didn't create enough chances with the ball and that's where I think we could have made a difference. We have to come out and play with a positive intent and show much more confidence while playing against Herath. I enjoyed captaining my team and hope we will only get better from here."Herath: "I think this is where (Galle) I started my career and whenever you play here you get assistance for spin. Spinners have taken most wickets at Galle so that's what happened today as well. I heard that (on getting close to 300 Test wickets) before playing against India actually and I hope and I'll try my best to get there." Herath is now 12 short of claiming his 300th Test match wicket.Rangana Herath is the Man of the Match for his match-figures of 10/147.Stats of the game: 238-run 3rd wicket stand between Karunaratne and Chandimal was the highest for Sri Lanka against West Indies in Test matches.Rangana Herath recorded his 5th 10-wicket haul in a Test match, also his 3rd at GalleKemar Roach, after he got out stumped, became only the fifth West Indian to get stumped in both innings of a Test match.It was all about three men who made life easy for Sri Lanka.
Karunaratne, Chandimal and Herath. When West Indies were bowling, it all looked like Karunaratne, Chandimal vs West Indies. Needless to say when West Indies batted it was all Herath vs The men from Caribbean. That's the story of this Test match. Sri Lankan pacers were effective too but Herath's spin overshadowed everything else. For West Indies, they have a bright future in the form of Jermaine Blackwood. His second innings was just amazeballs. Barring that, nothing much to cheer for the tourists.To keep it short and simple - either the batsmen didn't get going or whenever they got a start, they found a way to get themselves out. Yes! I'm allowed to say that. In fact there were a few bizarre dismissals - Samuels' dismissals in both innings, Holder's dismissal in the second innings and et al. Just before the start of day 4, Russel Arnold on air, spoke about how to play spin on these sort of tracks and singled out KEMAR ROACH as a perfect example to play spin.
Yes, one has to stomach the fact that Kemar Andre Jamal Roach, the usually number 9 batsman, has showed good judgement and solid defence while playing against spin - unlike his top-order pals who failed to pick H off Herath (purely used for effect)."We came here to win the Test series and we believe in our strengths." - those were the exact words from the young West Indian skipper (Jason Holder) on his captaincy debut (during the toss). Fast forward three and half days later - West Indies are thrashed by Sri Lanka and the headline for most of the tomorrow's newspapers would be like - "Herath spins West Indies out." Yes! Make no bones about it - West Indies are no less of talent. It's just that they failed to apply themselves on what looked like a no-demons Galle pitch.Teams exchange handshakes. Herath is seen smiling and sharing a chat with Darren Bravo. He was earlier seen waving the ball to the crowd as he walked off. And he also poses for some portraits. Memorable victory for the hosts and this should warm them up nicely after successive defeats against Pakistan and India. Blackwood provided some late order resistance but it was all too easy for Sri Lanka in this session as they gobbled up wickets, with Herath notching up another 10-for in a match.
