Outfield is slow asf

 

[Daemon]

Great conditions for him but Baartman’s bowled really well

Outfield is slow asf

Yea it’s sand based apparently so it’ll just plug. Sixes or gtfo.

A bit of unorthodoxy is required... Pant demonstrated that in the warm-up.

 

[number11]

Crawling along.

Looks like someone forgot to cut it.

SL don't exactly look like potential winners here.....

 

[trundler]

Is this the new second worst thing Kusal Mendis has done

 

[Silver Silva]

I feel that if we can get to a similar score that PNG made vs West Indies, we can put SA in a spin web.

Wait till both teams have batted.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

SL not assessing properly and its turning out one ugly innings

 

[Arachnodouche]

Tough conditions but been bad cricket from SL.

They were just giving us a glimpse of how this stadium was put together, noticed that they used a crane to position 'slabs' of the outfield. These slabs appears to have a concrete base with soil above it and on top of that is the turf. So, uncertainties aplenty.

Nortje 1-1 (1)

Wait till both teams have batted.

It's the seamers causing the problems though, I can't see a spin web being the answer.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's a captain's innings from Wanindu.

 

[FBU]

I thought Hasaranga was a bit high up in the batting line up.

 

[trundler]

SL have played about 5 big shots, of which 0 were middle and 3 led to dismissals.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Keshav on a hattrick

Someone had to try and get on with it.

This is getting embarrassing now.

This pitch is not a true reflection of the game in this modern format. It resembles a traditional ODI pitch from the 1990s.
