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

[Prince EWS]

I really like Sipamla feels like he has real skills. Would be wonderful if they could get him an extra yard of pace.

Yeah there's a Test bowler there, potentially. He's not remotely ready for it yet though.

 

[SeamUp]

200 catches for de Kock now in addition to the 11 stumpings. Bloke is going to be up there on the dismissals table by the end of his career.

Wild.

Selected much to early. Can see it by the performance he has given. I would love to have seen Stuurman. The team needs a bowler like him.

 

[SeamUp]

Try explaining this sport to Americans.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Don't think one could accuse Rassie of being overly rash with his choice of shot.

A Denlyesque paced innings.

 

[StephenZA]

I don't mind dour ugly play, but against SL when you are in ascendency I don't think its a good look. Could just be my anti-Rassie bias though.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That leading South Africa run scorers graphic just brought back memories looking at the names.

Most of my childhood...I remember the Graeme Smith back-to-back double centuries

 

[Bahseph]

Elgar is determined to not just be "nuggety" these days!? second fastest fifty for him.

 

[Rasimione]

Rassie batting old-school.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Dasun has been the most probing bowler for SL going around the wicket to Elgar

Yeah, no real pace, but looks to have a good mastery of line and length.

Strange passage of play watching him bowl to Rassie. Dasun happy to bowl a 4th/5th stump line outside off and van der Dussen happy to let him.

Game of patience.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nothing wrong with that shot from Rassie.

Bit of a loosener pulled down by Asitha, but jumped into it very quickly.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Elgar scoring at this rate makes me legitimately uncomfortable. It feels very wrong.

 

[StephenZA]

Congrats to SL for getting through the whole day without an injury.

 

[Bahseph]

Wild.

Just looked at this again and I had to laugh at Kamran Akmal's stats. For a bloke who had a bad rep he still managed to average a decent amount of dismissals an innings!

 

[Heboric]

Not trying to be funny here, but how did Ramiz Raja get here

He is here for comic relief mate.

Ha Ha, no I dont mind Rambo, I was just wondering because of Covid and flight restrictions etc. I thought maybe Matk Nicholas would be here

 

[Burgey]

I see SL are performing up to their usual Southern Hemisphere standard here.

 

[morgieb]

I'm not one of those over rate evangelists but bowling under 80 overs per game seems really, really poor. Were there mass disruptions or something?
