people have been scrutinising the umpires decision for a long long time now.
Not really, only a few years tops since the likes of hawkeye and the slow mos have been used.

Some of the seven or eight batsmen in this Lankan side score in Zoysa's average, at a low strike rate and can't bowl for toffees. With Zoysa, there's some value addition.
I don't think they average that lowly - the likes of Atapattu, Jayasuriya, Jayawardene, Sangakarra, ...

Steyn super-subbed off after 5 overs. Van Der Wath (seriously awesome name) on for him and can bowl 5 overs.
I can't work it out?

Steyn is supposed to be super quick, so surely he should always bowl is 10 overs because that's all a bowler needs isn't it?

It doesn't take a genius. He was bowling rubbish, got taken out of the game and the sub bowled the rest of his overs and did a much better job.

Bo-ing, six then four to Prince.

They need to start hitting out a little I feel or else it's going to become unmanagable for South Africa.

South Africa lack decent cricket brains.

Lee bowling pretty well, not as well as the commentators are making it out to be though.

Amazing that no matter how well the SA bowlers bowl, the top order batsman have hardly ever been able to back them up. Throughout the tests and ODIs they've let their bowlers down.

Lee bowled well, and now Hoggy has Boucher. Bonus point looking to go to Australia here, unless Pollock and Van Der Wath can stop that.

What exactly is Mark Nicholas on tonight?

South Africa are well and truely out of the game, and it will now crawl to an end, yet he is still talking it up as the most entertaining piece of cricket he has ever seen...

I think the substantiation was provide by the 'init' at the end, that's enough proof of none whatsoever.

Agreed. It's a medal of honour - a bit like that internet picture with the redneck holding the "Get a brain. Morans" banner.
