[SeamUp]

Where is Lahiru Kamara ?

 

[slippy888]

[Daemon]

Gunaratne's a bit of a no rounder in this format isn't he

 

[slippy888]

lakmal batting at 8

 

[Heboric]

Dickwella caught de Kock --- I can stop watching cricket now

 

[YorksLanka]

Still the best ever leave in cricket to be bowled leg stump inside your body.

Disappointing from the Lankans. There was runs on that pitch today.

Yes four poor shot selections again...Then in the field we drop Amla too!!

 

[slippy888]

sri lanka need to improve this is another shambolic display

Time for Malinga to come back in team and be captain at least he would bring some fight and guts in this weakling team

No chance -his only loyalty is to his master's in the ipl..Angie is the captain and that shouldn't change in this format or tests..T20's could go to someone else just to lighten the workload on Mathews.
The selections are poor,if it were me I would pick
Tharanga, Desilva, Dickwella,Mendis,Mathews, Siriwardena, Shanaka,Kusal P, Kumara Lakmal,Sandakan/Vandersay

Malinga can play 50 overs and 20 20 the Sri Lanka selectors are refusing to pick him

the bees provided more entertainment

I believe he took himself out of contention as he hadn't recovered from a bout if Dengue fever..I am sure he will be fine for the ipl tho miraculously

 

[YorksLanka]

Congrats to the Proteas on a deserved series win. They haven't broken sweat so far in the seties.hopefully we can compete in the remaining games but can't see it if I am honest.

His recent IPL outings have been underwhelming also.

I like the guy, but he really isn't the solution to anything these days sadly.

No disrespect to Sri Lanka, but surely saffers should be resting Rabada in games like this?

Can`t, if Ngini was in the squad and not injured then he possibly would have been rested. He got the T20`s off though...

Hung around the pitch longer than any SL batsman has all tour

 

[StephenZA]

Just a poor performance from SL batting again... don`t think the pitch was quite the standard Wanders 350+ belter, but at least 280+. I have to admit that the loss of Abbott has made me very uncertain of our LO bowling and with the SL batsmen performance no real answers are being given.

I`m wandering if Philander should be in the squad, Champions trophy in England so any sort of movement he should exploit it well. Would prefer Philander over Parnell....
