*** Official *** Sri Lanka in South Africa, Nov 27 to Dec 9 2024

[Dendarii]

Unfortunately he has retired from red ball cricket, I think

He deliberately stuck to T20 in order to manage his return from injury, but I don't know if that means he'll never return to red ball cricket or if perhaps he will when he feels ready.

 

[King Kane]

At least Sri Lanka put up a better fight with the bat in the 2nd innings, in particular Chandimal and de Silva.

Jansen a deserving MOTM with 11 wickets, great cricketer, he needs to be as I don't think he will get a job in commentary after he retires.

He won't fit in the commentary box either.

Granted, they were never as bad in England as they were in the first innings here, but it was a theme of their tour of England that they'd bat much better in the second innings when the match looked beyond them

 

[Migara]

Both DdS and Chandimal was out with injudicial shots. DdS had a daddy hundred in the sight given the fluency he had at crease. Chandimal was much more laborious.

I feel like that's been going on for a good while and has held us back. We have horrid starts more often than not.

Yes boys, well done

No he hasn't. He didn't take a central contract as he wanted to manage his workload himself.
He told the director of cricket he wanted to skip a year of test cricket and then reevaluate. That was said by Enoch nkwe at lunch on day 2 of this test.

If Dave Warner can get a gig then even Marco & qdk can.

Relieved we just managed to bowl Sri Lanka out under 80 overs, over rate penalties was a real possibility if it reached 80.

1 down, 3 to go! Great win for SA.

Well hope he comes back soon. I am reading that Coetzee could be in doubt for the second test

 

[honestbharani]

Well done Saffers.. Hard luck Lanka..

 

[Bahseph]

Yep. Ngidi, Burger, Nortje and potentially Coetzee out on top of Mulder being injured. Might see us playing Paterson again.

Yeah Shukri said he has a groin niggle. They will add another to the squad as cover.
Logic would suggest Beyers Swanepoel or sipamla but don't be surprised if they for maphaka.
