Sri Lanka playing with two bowlers and Mathews I see. Prasad injured? Would be crazy to drop him after he found a new level in England.

Apparently Lakmal is the "leader of the pack".. He beats Prasad's average by 1 run with 49... :ph34r:

No, but given he's more of a bang-it-in type than a skiddy swing bowler like Lakmal or Eranga whom you wouldn't expect to have too much success on these types of decks, I guess control is more what we are after from our two quicks as well, Lakmal and Eranga have generally been the two that give us that over the last year. And I wouldn't say he 'found a new level' in England but rather that the stars alligned and he bowled a glorious spell - still a tough selection though.

Hundred up already for the proteas..ominous...we need two wickets quickly however, considering this is Galle, I expect it will start spinning by end of tomorrow..

South Africa are 124/1 and their commentators are getting the excuses for losing ready. SL prepare a turner at Galle to win on and a road at SSC on purpose, SL always bat first and kill teams at Galle etc.

You're 124/1 ffs.

That seemed to be more because they didn't want Elgar batting six though, didn't it?

Yeah I thought so at the time too but evidently not. Perhaps Amla has just always had a burning desire to bat four and is taking the opportunity of Kallis retiring and him being appointed captain to make it happen permanently.

It's amazing how many people still think McCullum keeps wicket in tests.

Only been four years guys. Catch up Pommie.

I wouldn't expect Lakmal to have any success on any deck.

If you want a swing bowler to provide some control then Kula is your man surely? Eranga isn't exactly tight either, but he's a decent bowler and SL's best seamer by far so he strolls in.
