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

I feel like those missed chances will cost us and we could have gotten them out for a lesser score. Our batsmen are in good form but historically this has not been a particularly easy place to come and win games with the bat.

 

[StephenZA]

Not a great score but 200-250 keeps you in the game here in SA.

Yeah you’d obviously take the score but just watching today I feel SA got away a bit after the initial burst.

 

[Bahseph]

Fait play to Sri Lanka, there was some good bowling on display. For SA I feel 230/240 was on the cards if Mulder didn't get injured but there is enough there conditions wise for them to be in this contest if they bowl well. They have to back themselves.

 

[King Kane]

That total of 191 is better than the total SA looked like getting, it still looks under par but that all depends on how Sri Lanka go when they bat.

I've got a feeling it won't be easy for them against the SA bowling attack on a pitch that looks like it still has some spice in it.

 

[Bahseph]

Either way they should have had Bavuma out much earlier.

 

[Silver Silva]

You take this score everyday of the week if you win the toss and field , I am looking at the positives .
Batting last in Durban is a challenge and we've skittled them out for under 200 ..

We have a fantastic battle hardened top 6 , I think 300 is achievable

 

[Heboric]

KG!!!!!!!!

and now Marco

Good start lads

 

[King Kane]

Rabada and Jansen go bang bang, that total of 191 isn't looking so bad now.

 

[Stefan9]

9/3 as Jansen clean bowls Chandimal.

 

[King Kane]

A jaffa from Jansen that clean bowls Chandimal, the Sri Lankan top order are going as badly as the Australian top order.

 

[Shady Slim]

oh sl

 

[Silver Silva]

oh sl

This is really good bowling nothing much you can do about it , nobody played a bad shot

 

[Shady Slim]

yeah it just must be a punch in the chin to go from the high of that first innings to here so soon. it's also why test cricket is the greatest game - long way still to go!

 

[Stefan9]

Angelo gone. 16/4

 

[King Kane]

That's a poor shot from Mathews, that wasn't even a great ball from Jansen.

 

[Stefan9]

Coetzee gets kamindu.

 

[Flametree]

So Sri Lanka's lowest ever score is???

 

[King Kane]

Carnage, at least Kamindu made a double figure score with 13, that could be Sri Lanka's top score the way they are going.

Jansen cleaning up de Silva now too.

 

[Stefan9]

DA Silva gone 32/6
