*Official* Sri Lanka Tour of South Africa 2019

[Maximas]

Horrible cricket all round. One of the worst shots you'll see all day. Dropped the simplest of catches. **** me.

Poor captaincy too, just dreadful all round

 

[Maximas]

Best part was Rajitha laughing as the ball went down to 3rd man - absolutely chuffed that he'd somehow picked out a fielder, then the disbelief at the drop and the triple take in Thirimanne's direction

 

[harsh.ag]

Hahaha. Beautiful drop. Almost art.

 

[trundler]

'Dire', 'woeful', 'terrible', etc don't begin to cover what happened on that ball.

 

[Maximas]

Cutting it sooo fine on the front line there, wouldn't surprise me if that dropped chance came off a no ball tbh

 

[StephenZA]

QDK gets SA to the right side of a poor score.

 

[Maximas]

Don't expect us to cross 200 here, in fact would do well to pass 150 if SAs attack gets into gear, but a solid effort with the ball, got some wicket takers have SL, just lacking a spinner capable of containing atm

 

[MrPrez]

It'll probably still be enough, but very disappointing from SA. Missed the 7th batsman...

 

[trundler]

SL have let SA escape to a competitive total. Gilchrist-like innings from De Kock. Boned SL.

Missed the first 3 more perhaps

Sounds like an excellent knock from QdK. Seems to be getting some of his old form back in these last few series.

After a truly dire year he is coming into some good form, hopefully it gets better and holds through the WC.

 

[trundler]

Dimuth is all class. Come on, my boy.

 

[Maximas]

Has a good habit of putting away early looseners

 

[MrPrez]

Hah, fair.

 

[Maximas]

Dirty day for Thirimanne, wonder how much credit he's got left...

Gee stiff task for the debutant

 

[Borges]

Should be a wee bit easier to bat now, with the sun out.

 

[trundler]

Hope SL show more guts against the shorter stuff. Pakistan
Olivier didn't actually bowl all that well, it was just bounce that Pakistani batsmen couldn't handle.

 

[Daemon]

So Thirimanne v2.0 doesn’t appear to be any better than the first version.

 

[trundler]

Rabada looks like a tired man
