***Official*** Sri Lanka in South Africa 2016/2017

[YorksLanka]

Let off there,I called that out..

 

[StephenZA]

Tharanga playing beautifully.... excellent 100.

 

[YorksLanka]

Go wan UT, brilliant innings. Finally a ton from a SL batsman on this tour even if it came from the guy who wasn't even meant to be on the tour!!He keeps sticking it to the selectors that keep leaving him out..

 

[Burner]

Yep, digging their hole..

 

[kingkallis]

331 - kingkallis

 

[Stapel]

Hmmmmmm, 7 overs to go, the run RRR under 10 in a high scoring game & 6 wickets in hand..... Possibly I get carried away, but this is Sri Lanka's to lose, or what?

 

[Bijed]

Wouldn't quite say it's SL's to lose, but not far from it

Edit: Well, between us, I'd say we jinxed that pretty well, wouldn't you?

Cheeky

Yeah...... Too bad!

Is Nuwan Kulasekara playing? Would be an awesome player for the situation.

 

[Shri]

Kocky celebration from the keeper there.

 

[YorksLanka]

Is Nuwan Kulasekara playing? Would be an awesome player for the situation.

He came and went without troubling the scorer too much..At least we got close and someone finally got a ton

 

[Bijed]

Is Nuwan Kulasekara playing? Would be an awesome player for the situation.

Yeah, he was 6th out, for 1.

Edit: Ninja'd

 

[Zinzan]

Ah, watched this game via cricinfo commentary without seeing the result. You shouldn't win chasing 367, unless you're 137 without loss after 15 overs like SL were , at that point needed 241 from 36 overs, with 10 pegs in hand.

 

[Burner]

They lost it when the idiots in the middle order decided they had to get in with dots. The only way to win these games is to at least a single every ball when you are getting in. Long tail probably influenced their thinking though.

 

[YorksLanka]

Also let's put this into perspective,there are only four players in the team who played today who are aged over 25..I have been a real critic of our shot selection but sometimes you kinda forget that the majority of the team are still kids so what can you expect?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This SL team is in so many ways similar to BD.

 

[Heboric]

Went to the game, nice game for a dead rubber.

Pity Faf couldnt get to 200, kept on losing strike which cost him a couple of balls.

Nice innings by Tharanga as well.

Although at times there were some Donkey level fielding by the Proteas

 

[SeamUp]

Is there a game on today ?

Saffers win, they would have won 14 home ODI's in a row and head to number 1 on the rankings.

 

[StephenZA]

Is there a game on today ?

Think it may just be batting practise.....
