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

I don't know if you posted this in the wrong thread... but this is contradicted by the last Test played at this venue by these two very teams.

Maybe I misheard the context but it is this game am watching and it was Haysman on comms.

 

[StephenZA]

Yup. They could all still kick on more but at least a lot of the new guys have now got the 100 behind their name. We building something potentially good and maybe even getting competition for places again. Which was always going to happen with losing good senior players & not replacing them well enough whilst we had some left or maybe it was just a talent bubble.

It could have been a talent bubble... but I don't think so. It was definitely affected by CSA administration. What I`ve always believed and continue to believe is that at Test level talent is of course important but it is mindset that is critical. And that is why transitioning correctly and allowing senior players to develop junior players is so very important. Also something we definitely lost at FC level. Hopefully its coming back again.

 

[Silver Silva]

Hate these annoying partnerships but bowling SA for under 320 would be a good effort , 2 wickets too go.

Best thing to do is never believe anything Haysman says...

He really has a lack of knowledge on the Sri Lankan Team as well.

Whatever the case, first few overs from Sri Lanka were good, last few more ordinary. At least even I reckon.

Haysman still has a job as a cricket commentator basically because the avg person tuning into the cricket in SA doesn't know any better..

How many of those Aussie Rebels stayed living in South Africa?

Just Haysman (I know he is USA now) & Rod McCurdy? Funnily enough the latter was doing horseracing work for SuperSport Television.

Think he said that was the average 1st innings score, and something in the 200s as lowest. I forget the number

 

[SeamUp]

Obviously Wessels too.

Kim Hughes, Steve Smith & John Maguire played Currie Cup .

85/86



86/87

Was literally just thinking about McCurdy earlier today

I have absolutely no idea why

 

[Dendarii]

I couldn't figure out how to filter on first innings only, but here are the scores when the team batting first won. 312 doesn't appear, and the average for the first innings is 351.

This short ball strategy is dumb pitch it up guys

 

[Fanboy375]

It doesn't matter what will happen in Aus vs Ind series if SA can win this match they will obviously likely to play TC final.Pak performance is not good enough to win a single match in south africa.

 

[Bahseph]

Kyle Freaking Verreynne!

 

[Stefan9]

Great 100 Kyle.

 

[SeamUp]

Ginger lad is alright.

 

[BazBall21]

Verreynne is seeing it like a basketball. He could get 150 if Paterson supports him.

 

[Stefan9]

SA end on 358. Well played boys.

 

[Heboric]

Well done Kyle
