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

[DriveClub]

I'm not one of those over rate evangelists but bowling under 80 overs per game seems really, really poor. Were there mass disruptions or something?

Wouldn't matter, game will be over in 3 days

 

[cnerd123]

10 overs accounts for around 40 minutes, which could be explained by the 11 wickets + a change of innings during the days play. Barely any spin used too - just 4 overs the whole day.

 

[Migara]

I cannot still fathom out why Dushmantha Chameera was selected for a test. Poor line and length, boasts of no pace as Lahiru Kumara, and is brittle as glass. Given that Shanaka did a very good job at third seamer option, LAsith Embuldeniya or Dilruwan would have at least kept the scoring rate in check.

Not trying to be funny here, but how did Ramiz Raja get here

wondered the same, surely they could have found some sl commentator to travel there?

 

[Gnske]

Usually Russel Arnold is the SL commentator overseas isn't he?

Probably not allowed out of Australia tbh.

Probably not allowed out of Australia tbh.

Reckon he's scared of the bouncy Jo'burg pitch tbh

I`m not into masochism... will wait for the SA/Aus thread later in the year.

Oops forgot about Russell Arnold - my favourite Sri Lankan. What a name !!

Odds on Elgar getting out for 190 odd again?

 

[StephenZA]

Nice present to get you to your hundred. Really happy for Elgar here. Particularly after the 95 last test.

That was Faf.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

100 for Elgar. This really could be an absolute thrashing - so sad after SL's last tour to SA.

 

[Gnske]

That was Faf.

Nah was referring to Elgar's own 199. Theoretically he should never get out against this attack but I feel sadness awaits in some form.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What type of side injury wise will SL be able to put up against England? I really hope they can beat the English but need 11 decent players

 

[Pratters]

South Africa can bat all of day 2 and day 3 here and make 1000 test runs.

 

[Migara]

South Africa can bat all of day 2 and day 3 here and make 1000 test runs.

And break two SL bowlers in the process.

At the rate they are going probably a full 11 of injuries will be available to them...
