**** me. What a leave.

Herath passed Vaas and is now the #2 Test wicket-taker for SL.

Crazy how aside from the big 3 (Murali, Herath, Vaas), only 2 other bowlers have even managed 100 - and both barely too. Most disappointed of Malinga.

Very good bowling but awful shot selection from us again..Dont our batsmen ever learn?

 

[StephenZA]

Did not expect to come and find SL all out.... sounds like poor shot selection with pressure bowling. Gives the bowlers a nice rest.

 

[YorksLanka]

I hope Graham Ford makes all our players do ten laps as punishment for that ****

When your team bat like a bunch of spuds, even a

... can't save you.

I hadn't seen Kumara's leave until just now on some highlights. I canb't recall one as bad since Clarke running down the deck and letting one go on middle stump from a spinner about a decade or so ago.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Hmmm people have been extremely critical of us not enforcing the follow on.

Is it really necessary? Our top order would appreciate time in the middle and we ate looking at one of the longest seasons we have ever had so giving our bowlers enough time to rest their bodies is just boxing smart. Hopefully amla can get in and make a 100.

What is the weather forecast?

What is the weather forecast?

It's raining inland. Don't think it will rain in cpt at least not enough to lose more than a session.

Oi, You're selling those sweet potato (or kumara) short calling them spuds.

Then it makes no sense to follow on.

It won't rain in CT, it almost never rains in CT this time of year. I doubt more than a session has been lost in CT due to the wather in the last 20 years.

Haven't you heard of climate change? Lol

One session is extreme, but I just said so because of the rain sweeping through the EC currently.

Lakmal! Amla's troubles continue. Always expected him to finish his career early because of how dependent he seems on his hand eye coordination.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Amla is showing the same signs Kallis showed towards the end.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

OK that is enough faffing around. Send sri lanka in.

 

[indiaholic]

Beware the flukey Chandimal innings. Set them at least 500 imo.

If they can score 400 to win at newlands they deserve it.

 

[indiaholic]

If they score 500 they will deserve it even more! Why not bat when time is not an issue.
