Hooper urges batsmen to emulate Lara Wisden CricInfo staff - November 28, 2001
COLOMBO (Reuters) West Indies also have an inexperienced bowling attack which has been unable to put pressure on the Sri Lankan batting. "To think that Merv Dillon is our senior fast bowler who has played only 19 Tests is a good indication where we are at," said Hooper. "They lack in experience when you start coming to places like Sri Lanka, India and Australia where you've got to adjust to situations quickly." West Indies are likely to make changes to their bowling lineup. Marlon Black could take over from Colin Stuart who was pulled out of the attack for bowling beamers at Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya in Kandy. Sri Lanka have named an unchanged side and their confidence is high. "We just want to continue doing what we've been doing in the last few games," said Jayasuriya. "It was important that we won in Kandy and we were able to achieve that. Our confidence is very high after this victory." Sri Lanka have been boosted by the bowling of left-arm paceman Chaminda Vaas, who has employed reverse swing to good effect and proved an admirable foil to Muralitharan. Sri Lanka (from) Sanath Jayasuriya (capt), Marvan Atapattu, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Russel Arnold, Hashan Tillekeratne, Tilan Samaraweera, Chaminda Vaas, Nuwan Zoysa, Muttiah Muralitharan, Niroshan Bandaratillake, Upul Chandana. West Indies (from) Carl Hooper (capt), Chris Gayle, Darren Ganga, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Brian Lara, Marlon Samuels, Ridley Jacobs, Mervyn Dillon, Dinanath Ramnarine, Pedro Collins, Marlon Black, Colin Stuart, Neil McGarrell.
