Sammy and co have a mid-pitch discussion to evaluate their options and then make the right decision in my book: Sri Lanka will bat again since Sammy has enforced the follow-on. This could get very interesting. Four and a half sessions to go - SL will have to survive atleast two and possibly three of them save this game.

sri lanka is a powerful batting team. with at least 2 world class batsmen in their line-up. they can score like the wind if they get on top of an attack. they have done it before....they love to come roaring from behind to win games.
so they start powerfully second time. if they come out blazing this last day, dont lose wickets and wipe of that 111 remaining deficit, and proceed to give westindies something stiff by tea time, look out! westindies could have one and half to 2 hours of pure torture at the hands of Mendis and Randiv to save the game.
I wud not put it past Lanka to be thinking in this exact manner all now for they are certain to see westindian batting for the suspect line-up that it is!
and if they succeed at least in rubing westindies face it in for the second game they would have gained their objective..the upper hand after Gayles monster 333!
I hope westindies conscious of all these possibilities and doh allow Lanka to slip nutten past them today.

Roach does the trick! any Lanka attack is now well and truly stymied. deh have to settle now and think about saving the game.
