    Sri Lanka vs South Africa

    There was Suresh Perera before, he played a couple of tests most notable being the Oval test in 98. Made a valuable 40ish IIRC.

    Sri Lanka vs South Africa

    The WI-SL tests were cancelled because WI wanted to include India for a Tri-series. (sounds like something SLC would have suggested anyway) The SL-SA tests were cancelled because SL wanted to have the **** house SLPL, which is now also cancelled. SLC has been trying desperately to match the...

    Bradman, the greatest sportsperson ever?

    In a team sport I think the closest comparison would be Babe Ruth. Both played at around the same time as well. This is going to be a bad comparison but if you are only counting home runs vs batting average (what they were famous for), Ruth dominated his contemporaries more than Bradman. IIRC...

    I did some quick calculations, SL would have to win by ~100 runs to get 1st place. Its likely Aus would bat second regardless of who wins the toss.

    My golden rules of cricket betting are also ****ed here;:unsure: 1) always bet against SA in a must win 2) always bet against NZ in a semi

    Assuming rain out today; Aus would have to win by ~80 runs batting first, and by about ~15 overs batting second to get 2nd place. SL are through with a win; to get 1st place they would need a win~200 runs and a chase in ~17 overs. If tomorrow is rained out as well eng go on. So a SA vs NZ semi...

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka, 2013

    Nervous as a SL fan. A chase of 150+ seems all set for a choke job. The big mush Kulasekera has already dropped a catch, so things are looking good for Bangladesh.

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in Australia 2012/2013

    Just seen the highlights of the last two days and I am glad that I didn't watch this live. Depressing stuff from a SL pov. Hoping we can at least get this to day 4. At least we got no tests for a while next year. Mahela Jayawardene since 2011 in away tests. (incl UAE) 11 matches, 21 innings...

    Clarke has an outside chance of breaking the record for most runs in a calendar year. (Link) Two more tests to make ~400 runs might be tough, but he could easily break Ponting's record for Australia.

    Was looking forward to this test series, first day of the tour and not so much now... Line for clarke over/under double hundreds at 1.5 imo

    What is the definition of a 'choke'?

    This is had been Sanga's way of batting for the past 3-5 years and is one of the reasons SL fans have been calling him to be dropped or move down the order. When Dilshan got bowled in the second over, I pretty much knew the chase was over. Text book self full-filling prophecy, generally along...

    What is the definition of a 'choke'?

    Yea this, the last final was a dead set choke. Mahela/Sanga completely bottled it.
