*Official* Sri Lanka Tour of South Africa 2019

Could argue the batsman are complete spuds against any kind of lateral movement because they barely ever face it domestically.

This is true. And Australia produces crap players of spin got through same reason. That said, SL produce THE WORST pitches in the world.

Sri lanka have got a sniff here karunaratne is a huge wicket I think they need to get 350+ this innings. Every now and then mendis produces a world class knock, could this be his day?

There's been a decent number of good pitches in SL that I can think of in the last few years.

Domestic pitches seem to be the bigger issue.

The way you phrased it made me think play started half an hour early and Karunaratne got out straight away lol. Mini heart attack.

I was only going by the pitches last year. Agreed about the domestic pitches.

What was the deal with the spinners last night? It’s a new ball wicket and they gave Sri Lanka 20 extra runs and got Fernando under way.
Great start by Sri Lanka mind, South Africa were at least 100 runs short of a decent total, and Karunaratne loves this bowling attack. Approaching 400 runs against them in the last 4 test matches. If he can get some support South Africa are in real trouble.

Sorry mate lool

 

[TT Boy]

Should have reviewed that.

 

[YorksLanka]

Another mistake from Dar...shocking umpire.

 

[Tom Flint]

It also has the potential to all go wrong very quickly. Don't fold Sri Lanka

 

[social]

Horrendous decision & worse non review

That’s never out

 

[TT Boy]

Dar's having a shocker.

 

[Tom Flint]

I'm not watching, what was wrong with the decision height? Can blame his captain for not telling him to review

Could it have been light issues?

 

[YorksLanka]

Start the car as bumble would say...hope we get to 150...

 

[TT Boy]

Big wicket that.

I assume it was but Faf isn't compelled to bowl them, is he?

 

[YorksLanka]

Loving that from Russell” like the two Ronnie’s, the two Kusal’s are there”
I genuinely wonder if our players understand the concept of umpires call..having said that I suppose we had to try given it was DK.l.

 

[trundler]

That looked like it was going down leg. Another shocker Hawkeye. Dimuth is due a score soon.

 

[trundler]

Vern is such an entertaining bowler
