*Official* Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011/12

[SeamUp]

Yeah, he was awesome. Think he toured England last year with Sri Lanka A.

Surprisingly played such little FC and even List A cricket.

Finally Senanayake getting a chance at the highest level, should definitely play in the 3rd ODI. Maybe two spinners along with Herath will work. No point in going in with a bunch of seamers just for the sake of it if you don't have quality.

On Rajapakse, he is regarded as the next best thing in Sri Lankan cricket. Should make the ODI squad in the near future.

 

[MrPrez]

I was at the match, and can I just say that I found Dilshan's captaining appalling. AB, on the other hand, was quite refreshing with his field positioning.

 

[SeamUp]

Kallis and Amla rested for last 3 ODI's and obv Elgar and Kleinveldt got serious injuries.

In come Petersen, Ingram and Philander.

Pity no Levi.

 

[MrPrez]

Is Dave Miller injured? IMO, Miller>Ingram.
Jon Jon Smuts should get a go! (Cos he's a Warrior )

Miller has x-factof for sure but going through a very bad patch at Dolphins.

JJ has had a very good season. Still down pecking order though. Needs to perform on the next Emerging tour.

 

[MrPrez]

Ja, Ingram has a good OD average but he never looked like he had the x-factor. Miller did, though. I'd like to see this Levi guy get a chance - I admittedly haven't seen much of him and would like to.

 

[TT Boy]

Promote JP to 3, have Faf at 4 and then AB, Ingram, Albie. Doesn't look that good, especially when chuck Smith into the equation. Good series from Virus should make things interesting. Bring Philander in for Steyn.

 

[popepouri]

Philander.

Dear Lord. He's utter ****e at ODIs.

Frylinck?

 

[Heboric]

I dont know why they dont rest Steyn as well - give Parnell a go

Probably will, but with Philander.

 

[Nigel Benjamin]

Good start by the Lankans.
Where's everybody?

 

[Prince EWS]

Good start by the Lankans.

Watching the Test.

 

[Daemon]

Coming close to doubling their score in the first game without having lost a wicket

 

[Cevno]

Good start by the Lankans.

 

[MrPrez]

Wicket at last. Peterson is rubbish.

 

[ganeshran]

Good start. Lanka should build now. Somehow I dont think Chandimal will score that much today

 

[MrPrez]

Haven't been watching much, how's the deck?

 

[Garson007]

That brought back bad memories from 1999...

 

[Nigel Benjamin]

Haven't been watching much, how's the deck?

Flat. Anything below 300 will be tough to defend
