***Official*** South Africa in Sri Lanka

[TT Boy]

Only 84 needed for Mahela.

well it's bright and sunny today mate. not a hint of rain. so I think we're safe.

Please allay the fear of SS with regard to the weather in Colombo for next 2 days .

 

[JASON]

It is possible that Mahela may declare at 340 after equalling Sanath's score and the highest by a Sri Lankan in Test Cricket ... following the example of one MA Taylor of Australia .... but may be not.

 

[TT Boy]

Why is Prince still insisting on bowling his ‘front line bowlers’, Boje is being unnecessarily flogged when Rudolph could do the same job and God only knows why Steyn is being bowled now. Pretty **** poor leadership if you ask me.

I just checked BBC and they say it will rain tomorrow and monday, but they also said it will rain today which is false so hopefully it won't rain tomorrow.

 

[Lostman]

on cricinfo the forecast was for rain this whole week.

 

[TT Boy]

Seems like Prince has realised and stuck AB on, watch him get a wicket!

BBC weather forcasts are not reliable for our part of the world. Local Fisherman will give you the most accurate forecast, IMO !!

His now accomplished the first part.

Hopefully a declaration is not pending for at least another sixty runs.

 

[JASON]

I hate to be proven wrong like SS but looks like Mahela is going after Lara after all. No sign of declaration despite passing Sanath J 's 340.

 

[Lostman]

Dilshan should be giving as much of the strike to mahela as possible.

Jason (or any other viewers for that matter), if you are watching what sort of pace is AB bowling?

 

[Lostman]

wasnt paying attention to the pace but it is really short. ill keep an eye on it during the next over.

 

[JASON]

Next up is Sir Len Hutton 364 , then Sir Gary Sobers 365 .

Then its Sir Brian Charles 375 , Sir Mathew Hayden 380 and Sir Brian Charles again at 400 !!

 

[Lostman]

between 70-75mph

[JASON]

Update on Boje - 0/221 only 37 more needed for the poor restless soul of Khan Mohammad to Rest in Peace !!

 

[dinu23]

can't say much about his pace,but he's getting some reverse swing. some good balls to Dilshan.

yep willow.tv

my damn scan converter broke, so i cant get the feed from my laptop into the tv. Its very uncomfortable to watch cricket for 7 hours on a wooden chair.
