Nkrumah Bonner: West Indies need ‘smart techniques’ to defeat Sri Lanka’s spinners

Be accurate and also definitive with your maneuvering against spin. Oh, and also do not drop catches off Dimuth Karunaratne. Nkrumah Bonner, that top-scored for West Indies with 68 not out off 220 stated the above would aid his team be extra affordable in the 2nd Test.Bonner was just one of only two West Indies batters to go across fifty in the initial Examination, the various other being Joshua da Silva, with whom he was entailed in a 100-run stand. The pitch for the second Test is anticipated to be equally as spin-friendly as the first. As a matter of fact, it may even begin drier, which indicates the kind of quick spin seen on days three, 4 as well as 5 in the initial Examination might arrive earlier.”The ball is rotating a lot, so we’ve got to be a lot more accurate in our maneuvering-whether we’re gon na come ahead or go back,” Bonner said.” These are little points we need deal with if we wish to be more certain in our defense, and when we strike.”It’s hard when players don’t obtain a begin. In the first innings, the ball was holding

and also rotating. It was a various challenge in the second innings when the ball was moving sometimes, and also spinning also. We need to develop clever strategies in order to play all the left-arm rewriters. “Quickly the most prolific batter in the game was Karunaratne, who struck 147 in the very first innings, and also 83 in the second-top-scoring for Sri Lanka both times. He had been dropped at slip on 14 in the first dig, though, and West Indies had likewise stopped working to evaluate a not-out lbw choice they would certainly have had reversed, early in Karunaratne’s second innings.If West Indies can maintain Karunaratne to low scores, they take significant steps to winning the match, Bonner claimed.”Their captain has a great deal to do with that team. He possibly made 250 runs in the first Test match. Obtain him, their batting is not that long to me. Mathews is a good player and also Chandimal is a good player, yet Dimuth is actually the gamer we require to venture out early. In the last Examination he got a few chances that haunted us for sure, since they made a big first-innings total. In the 2nd Test, if we take our possibilities, we have a far better possibility. Obtaining him out is a big thing for us.”Andrew Fidel Fernando is ESPNcricinfo’s Sri Lanka contributor. @afidelf Released at Sat, 27 Nov 2021 14:45:03 -0600
