West Indies Cricket Fans

Ottis Gibson, the West Indies coach, has conceded that his team made mistakes that cost them a few wickets, but was confident of their position in the Test. West Indies ended the third day at 165-5, trailing Sri Lanka's first innings score by 222 runs.

"Our first priority is to avoid the follow-on," Gibson said. "Carlton Baugh is just coming back into international cricket and there's an opportunity for him to get some runs and spend some time in the middle as well. Dwayne Bravo is playing well and these two guys tomorrow will have to do a good job for us."

Gibson went on to say that the West Indies side is a very young one and will continue to learn how to play Test cricket "There aren't a lot of guys who have played in Sri Lanka before and we dominated the first Test. In this Test three days have gone, and we are fighting. It's a good sign."
