West Indies Targeting Sri Lankan Whitewash
West Indies has been looking for a complete rout of Sri Lanka in the third ODI at St Lucia. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and Marlon Samuels have already taken them to impressive back-to-back victories in Trininad - one with last ball and the other one much more comfortable success.
West Indies have secured the series.
For Sri Lanka it's about salvaging pride from a tour that started so promisingly before fading away. They have clearly missed some of their experienced players, but no one ever said rebuilding a side would be easy.
West Indies (probable) Chris Gayle, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Marlon Samuels, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Darren Sammy, Jerome Taylor, Daren Powell, Fidel Edwards
Sri Lanka (probable) Upul Tharanga, Mahela Udawatte, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Chaminda Vaas, Ajantha Mendis, Thilan Thushara

South Africa Celebrates Victory by Crushing India in 2nd Test
India suffered one of the worst defeats in India playing in their second test against South Africa in Ahmedabad.
South Africa crushed India by an innings and 90 runs with two days to spare despite defiant half centuries by Saurav Ganguly (87) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (52).
Earlier on the third day, South Africa declared their innings at 494/7 with a lead of 418 runs.
In the first innings India had a paltry score of 76 all out in less than 20 overs - a shame for the home team.
South Africa's pace bowlers did not let the home team play in either innings. Motera wicket is well known to support pacemen and that is exactly what the visitors did.
At one point, home team seems stabilizing a bit with Ganguly and then Laxman, and then Dhoni. But that was just a temporary brake.

West Indies Retains Gayle as Captain
West Indies retained Chris Gayle as captain for the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka in March. The series involves two Tests and three one-day internationals. Gayle has recovered from a hamstring injury and broken thumb that he sustained in South Africa and the selectors decided to name him as captain ahead of Ramnaresh Sarwan.
Gayle was given the captaincy for the tour of South Africa in December 2007 because Sarwan was injured and he led West Indies to their first Test victory in South Africa in Port Elizabeth. However, he had to return home before the third Test because of a hamstring injury and a broken thumb and missed the one-day series that followed after the Tests.
Sri Lanka’s tour of the West Indies will be their first since 2003 when they lost the Tests 0-1 but won the ODIs 2-1. Australia are scheduled to tour the Caribbean in May, after Sri Lanka complete their tour.
