Randiv picks up three wickets as West Indies falter in rain-affected game - chairman - 10-09-2015
West Indies struggled to get going in the rain-affected practice game against the Sri Lanka Board President's XI in Colombo as Suraj Randiv picked up three wickets to stake a claim for a Test berth.
West Indies won the toss and opted to bat first, but the start of the game was delayed for almost an entire session due to a wet outfield.
The openers Kraigg Brathwaite (46) and Rajendra Chandrika (18) got off to an extremely cautious start.
After an eventless first hour, Sri Lanka managed to strike with the wicket of Chandrika, who fell to Suranga Lakmal (2-10).
Brathwaite and Darren Bravo (21) began to bat positively and made sure no more wickets fell until the tea break. West Indies were well placed at 78 for one at this stage.
However, the visitors lost two wickets in the first two overs of the post-tea session as Randiv (3-33) managed to dismiss Bravo while Lakmal dismissed Marlon Samuels (0) for a duck.
