Weather may have final say
COLOMBO: Dec 5: The Intermittent rnlny weather could upset the plans of New Zealand and Shri
Lanka when they confront each * other In the second and final Test at the Singhalese Sports Club grounds hdre Sunday, reports AFP
Both teams have so far lost the opportunity of playing out a full match because of frequent interruptions from rain and bad light and weather looks likely to spoil the second Test
A total of 116 overs, which constitutes more than a day s play, were lost to the fickle weather In the drawn first Test while the first day-night one-day International between the two sides was abandoned halfway due to rain.
Meanwhile, New Zealand fast bowler Micheal Owens declared himself fit after a ball cracked his jaw during a practice session shortly before
Friday s one-day game.
The 23-year-old opening bowler was discharged from hospital with eight stitches and minus two teeth. In ease he is left out Sunday, allrounder Chris Pringle Is likely to take hts place.
Injury also plagued Shri Lanka's strike bowler Champaka Ramanayake who hurt one of his fingers and had to be replaced at the last minute by Pramodya Wlckramasinghe in the first one-day international.
Shri Lanka.is likely to retain the same team that played in the first Test but if Ramanayakc is unable to take the field hts place could go either to off-spinner Muttiah Muralidharan or Wickramaslnghe.
Shri Lanka once more have the edge although their well-balanced team has yet to produce a consistent performance in the field where they have dropped some easy catches to let New Zealand off the hook
time and again.
New Zealand skipper Martin Crowe, who has proved to be a poor performer in the two matches played against Shri Lanka, has promised a better show from both himself and his fledgling team.
Both teams are expected to pick their sides later Saturday.
