*** Official *** Sri Lanka in South Africa, Nov 27 to Dec 9 2024

International Regular
At least Sri Lanka put up a better fight with the bat in the 2nd innings, in particular Chandimal and de Silva.

Jansen a deserving MOTM with 11 wickets, great cricketer, he needs to be as I don't think he will get a job in commentary after he retires.

Granted, they were never as bad in England as they were in the first innings here, but it was a theme of their tour of England that they'd bat much better in the second innings when the match looked beyond them

Both DdS and Chandimal was out with injudicial shots. DdS had a daddy hundred in the sight given the fluency he had at crease. Chandimal was much more laborious.

I feel like that's been going on for a good while and has held us back. We have horrid starts more often than not.

Yes boys, well done


Unfortunately he has retired from red ball cricket, I think

No he hasn't. He didn't take a central contract as he wanted to manage his workload himself.
He told the director of cricket he wanted to skip a year of test cricket and then reevaluate. That was said by Enoch nkwe at lunch on day 2 of this test.

If Dave Warner can get a gig then even Marco & qdk can.

Well hope he comes back soon. I am reading that Coetzee could be in doubt for the second test

Yep. Ngidi, Burger, Nortje and potentially Coetzee out on top of Mulder being injured. Might see us playing Paterson again.

Yeah Shukri said he has a groin niggle. They will add another to the squad as cover.
Logic would suggest Beyers Swanepoel or sipamla but don't be surprised if they for maphaka.

A really good win that. This test team is showing good signs of progression even if we know we still have a way to go it feels good to feel like we on the right path again & this with quite a few bowlers missing.

I read a stat that we have more hundreds in the last 8 Tests than we did in the last 25 Tests. That's a big factor. Stubbs going back to back is really encouraging.

Hundreds would be:
2 stubbs
1 Mulder
1 de zorzi
1 bavuma
1 Mulder
1 makram

Who are the other 2? Elgar maybe?

Verreynne has two in that period I think? Vs NZ and Bang. You also have Mulder twice. I think Elgar has one.
