*Official* Sri Lanka in South Africa 2020/21 Tests

[Gnske]

I don't think he or his ego are ever coming back tbh. Sounds like he'd much prefer to play for England (last I recall anyway).

 

[OverratedSanity]

****ing hell Sl dropping like flies. SA should try to go for a forfeit imo.

 

[Gnske]

They should declare them all concussed tbqh

Made a lot of noises to that effect, yeah, but Brexit and the end of Kolpaks have put an end to whatever ambitions he had to play for Blighty.

what's the ideal sri lankan side atm?

king karunaratne
kusal perera (anyone but gunathilaka or thirimanne)
kusal mendis
dinesh chandimal
angelo mathews

dickwella
a spinner who won't get called for chucking like embuldeniya
fernando
lakmal
kumara

solid batting line up on paper. need room for my new boi shanaka tho.

There is enough talent there for Mickey to work with.

Hopefully Lakmal is fit for the 2nd test.

Lets just say Harmer has had a few confrontations with a few people in SA before he left because he felt he was poorly treated at the time and he has a bit of that arrogance/brashness to him (I don't mind it if channeled correctly.) so will have told people to their face.

I don't know what happened but him and Ashwell Prince hate each others guts.

 

[StephenZA]

The speed runs have been scored this entire match is unbelievable.

Not dissimilar to KP. Had a clear sense of entitlement.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I go to change one shitty nappy and Hasaranga has made like Lazarus!

Still looks discomforted tbf, so kudos to the boy for sucking it up.

 

[SeamUp]

Kesh getting runs will be a nice confidence booster for him.

3rd fifty in 9 innings.

 

[BoyBrumby]

He'll face better attacks, but looks to have a well organised game and more ability than a ~15 average would suggest.

Now this is a ball tearer. In, for me.

 

[StephenZA]

How many strange events can we have in one test?

 

[Furball]

Gut feel was that that was out but there wasn't an angle that conclusively proved it.

Has shown real application this innings.

 

[StephenZA]

Phew! Just keep you foot down.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is one of the strangest tests I've seen in a while. Some ATG bad luck at play against sl.

I don't want to be extra mean because this reaaaally isn't the fault of the bowlers or SL as a team, but I would hazard at a guess that the "attack" he's faced is below FC standard in most Test nations. This is odd, odd cricket going on out there. SA have actually been quite profligate by only converting one of the many starts into a big score.

 

[StephenZA]

Oh Faf...! How could you!

 

[Kraken]

lol oh Faf....
