SL cash in on inexperience

Published March 19, 2008

PROVIDENCE (Guyana), March 18: Malinda Warnapura and Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene warmed-up for the first Test against the West Indies later this week when they took advantage of an inexperienced Guyana Cricket Board President’s Select XI attack on the opening day of the three-day match on Monday.

Warnapura retired out on 132 and Jayawardene was dismissed for 99, as the visiting Sri Lankans reached 343 for five when stumps were drawn on the first day of their non-first class tour match.—AFP
