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

[YorksLanka]

Great catch and oh dear.. can someone please just dig in till lunch??

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Good bowling from Lakmal. Pitch looking quite awesome now. Philander will be a nightmare.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Need 64 to avoid the follow on.

Great catch and oh dear.. can someone please just dig in till lunch??

it's swinging and seaming......and saffer bowlers were masters in these conditions

I guess only mathews has the quality to survive this may be chandimal to some extend

 

[kykweer.proteas]

You can just sense more wickets.

 

[Jono]

Chandiguns debuted vs Saffers on the last tour right? Had a decent first test if memory serves me correctly

 

[vcs]

Karunaratne must be in serious danger of getting the and now right? He was terrible in the Aus series too.

I think they look at any runs they can get out of the top 3 bats as pure bonus.

 

[Jono]

Lanka should just win this match hey.

 

[Heboric]

terrible reviews

 

[StephenZA]

terrible reviews

QDK not great at reviews.. he was not bad in Aus but he is generally been pretty terrible at reviews overall; excitement of youth?

 

[Jono]

Chandimal is pure fun hey.

This is the key partnership - need to put on 100 between them and hope they can eek another 100 somewhere else.

 

[anil1405]

Lanka better drop KP down the order before he embarrasses them even more. He is the perfect example of how a no.3 shouldn't be.

 

[Jono]

4 out of 5 dismissals range from soft to pathetic

Yeah him and philander get really excited.

 

[Jono]

Saffer bowlers are so elite in these conditions. After tea they have been sublime

Give Philander any sort of movement and he becomes unplayable by the average batsmen....

 

[Jono]

Fatty is just pure fun. What a champion.

 

[artvandalay]

Rabada not having a great game so far, pace is down and he is bowling a lot of pies.

 

[Migara]

Holding just implied that pace and bounce would be more difficult for Sri Lanka to face than pure lateral movement. Flat out wrong. Unless he was saying the other grounds have more pace and bounce in addition to lateral movement.

Yeah. Guys like Aravinda, Arjuna, Sanga and Mahela were never troubled by pace. Actually quicker they bowled, quicker it disappeared against these guys. It's definitely movement that trouble us, even at pedestrian pace.
