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

[Rasimione]

Vernon Mulder looks good doesn't he?

 

[cnerd123]

SL batting as if this were a centre wicket net session. So many loose strokes. No attempt whatsoever at building an innings

 

[Nintendo]

Hasaringa is so amusing to watch. Never defends either leaves or plays a filthy slog.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Love Polly's understatement in the commentary box, "the application hasn't been very good."

Quality stuff, that. Doesn't need to tell us it's a shower of schisse because we can see it.

 

[StephenZA]

Chameera does not give a lot of confidence against Nortje.

 

[SeamUp]

Nortje could end up with a big bag here bowling to the tail.

 

[Gnske]

Good areas from Ngidi, he should bowl even wider.

 

[BoyBrumby]

This probably counts as a bit of a recovery in the context of the Lankan innings. 21 is the second highest stand so far.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lol. Hasaranga seemed very keen on the quick single.

Nortje best played from the non-striker's end.

 

[Gnske]

lel that was a proper on-drive

stay on strike

 

[BoyBrumby]

Shot of the day from Hasaranga there. Full face of the bat.

 

[honestbharani]

Loving the pace of this test so far. Moving along so quickly

 

[SeamUp]

6 slips or 5 slips and a gully ?

 

[SeamUp]

Well done Anrich.

Experienced a lot in only 7 tests already. Starting in India of course.

Second 5-wicket haul in Test match cricket.

 

[Gnske]

200 catches for de Kock now in addition to the 11 stumpings. Bloke is going to be up there on the dismissals table by the end of his career.

 

[Bahseph]

Anrich can frustrate you but the man is a warrior. Always gives a 100% and I love it. Well done!

 

[cnerd123]

if im not mistaken, all 9 wickets so far have fallen to catches behind the wicket right?

dismal effort by the lankans here.

 

[Prince EWS]

To be fair, Nortje looks very hittable when he gets it full. He's just too all over the shop to maintain a good full length.

Yeah when people tell him to bowl fuller he just bowls straight half volleys. Instead of just "bowl more full balls" he needs his stock ball to be a foot fuller than it is consistently.

 

[Gnske]

if im not mistaken, all 9 wickets so far have fallen to catches behind the wicket right?

dismal effort by the lankans here.

I'm pretty sure of the actual batsman, only Thirimanne got out to one that was hitting the stumps.

Further proof that Thirimanne never gifts his wicket away.

 

[StephenZA]

Straight forward in the end. Well played Nortje.
