Getting more and more interesting by the minute, Sanga playing a brilliant hand as usual, how the **** does he keep doing it??

If Thiri gets his act together and get the damn single SL might actually have a chance.

If Sanga pulls this off with a ~140 it would be very close to his best ODI innings..

and there goes Thiri.. might not be the worst thing to happen to SL.

It wasn't the ideal time for Thirrimanne to come in tbf, generally more of a top order accumulator than a finisher, should've come in at 5

Mike Haysman "South Africa are right back in this game"...

I wasn't aware that they were behind.

Didn't get to watch SA's innings.. how come Kula and Malinga didn't bowl out? The spinners haven't really done much better.. Especially Kula seems to have bowled well..

The spinners bowled rather well towards the back end of the innings so Matthews brought on the part-timers when McLaren and Miller were getting going and he kept them on till the penultimate over - he paid the price. Malinga was a bit ordinary all day and Kula bowled well at the start but got some tap in his second spell, I can sort of understand why they weren't bowled out but they should've bowled the last 3 overs at least

Yeah, the saffers beat us pretty comprehensively there, put us under the gun from the get go and responded whenever we challenged them, of course I have a bunch of grievances about how we played but gotta hand it to SA as well

I knew from how SA went about the practice game that SL weren't prepared for them this time.. especially since SA have a lot to prove in SL - they want this more than SL..

I would replace Ashan with Thisara and Thiri with Chandimal (not that he's going to do much better) if I was a selector but probably should give them an extended run..
