*Official* Sri Lanka in South Africa 2020/21 Tests

[Pup Clarke]

FFS just pitch the ball up SA. This short pitched plan is garbage

 

[StephenZA]

Neither Ngidi or Nortje are actually decent test opening bowlers. They great 3rd seamers, and they are the sort of players you want to have with a flat pitch to attack the stumps and make something happen. Not the type of bowlers to bowl patient line and length.

 

[Spark]

this is great from shanaka but this bowling plan is making me legit angry.

 

[trundler]

This appears to be the biggest drop in a country's pace bowling stonks since Ambrose and Walsh retired.

 

[SeamUp]

Shanaka you beauty.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Already facepalming so much half an hour into the day's play

 

[Bahseph]

Basically bowled,LBW and slip catches are out of the equation now? Horrid tactics.

you'd think they were bowling to smith and kohli having put on a 150-run partnership on a dead track with no assistance at all, not a guy who's never posted a test 50 before, a guy averaging single digits, with a new ball on a spicy deck

 

[Gnske]

Epitome of a leaderless attack

 

[StephenZA]

Nortje seems to get some movement when he bowls back of a length, but anything pitched up is gun barrel from this guy.

The difference between him and Dupavillon. Why I always rated Dupavillon higher.

 

[trundler]

3 slips and he's bowling that trash

 

[thierry henry]

Am I missing something...far as I can tell Rajitha is an out and out bunny, just bowl normally to him

 

[TT Boy]

Where is the criticism from the commentators? This is pure ****, and it isn't being called out.

 

[Spark]

shock horror, mulder bowls four normal balls on a good length without trying anything insane and the pitch is giving him assistance.

 

[Bahseph]

The fact that Mulder comes in and actually bowls better lengths in 6 balls than we have seen all morning makes me legit angry!

 

[Gnske]

lmao those guys square were running in while he was bowling that

 

[TT Boy]

Now they’re talking about Maharaj not keeping it quiet. FFS.

 

[Spark]

you mean that banging it in halfway down wasn't actually the way to go? who could have guessed!

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's better.

Made Rajitha actually look like a bloke who averages less than 5.

 

[thierry henry]

Sorry didn’t watch yesterday, has it been semen all over the place like this the whole innings? Mad score if so
