Sri Lanka in South Africa Dec-Jan 2011/12

[Ayub 95]

Du Plessis has to be consided, the way he's been batting in the SuperSport series has been superb. He scored a really good 80 yesterday and scored a century in the last match so he must be putting pressure on Prince.

 

[MJ Rocks]

^ got to agree with that he is a good player but i think he will be tested for few more matches

 

[Anjula]

If Sri Lankans Get on form,
There will be surely a competition in in next Test.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

A win for Lanka in the end. 400 + score will definitely not be chased and I dont see South Africa batting for 2 day long!

 

[Ahmad94]

Sri Lanka looks super strong

Not bad by Chandimal, 50 in both innings that is all you can ask for from your keeper.
It's about time SL batting lineup stood up, they are much better than what they have shown. And the green pitches in SA have evened out the advantage SA had in the bowling department.

 

[Anjula]

Too Bad Chandimal haven't got passed 50.
He averages 58 in First Class Matches.

Sri Lanka have played well, all credit to them, but IMO SA have played spectacularly poorly to be all out for 168 in 1st innings..9 times out of 10 you lose a test match if your 1st innings score is below par.

It's astonishing that a sub-continent team like Lanka handling pacy Durban pitch better than the home team, a touch of complacency from the home side may be.. Saffers have dug the hole for themselves, with 2 full days to go and lead in the excess of 400, the writing is pretty much on the wall.

After shambolic performance in 1st test, I had hoped for a semblance of contest in remaining matches...not bad Lankans, keep it up!!!

Here I'm hoping Sri Lanka finish the job and get a very unlikely win.

 

[Anjula]

Who is better?
Chanaka or Perera?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Well Sri Lanka in top position after that stupid run out

 

[Mike23]

Who is better?
Chanaka or Perera?

To answer your question - Neither, but if you want to know which of the 2 is better i'd say chanaka.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

If only the players were paid before

This is sick from Cricinfo! Sri Lanka have been team playing with spirit and you cannot judge their previous performances based on their salary

 

[swacker]

Amla runs himself out.

SL looking for their first Test win of 2011.

 

[Haarithan]

It simply had to be RSA to gift SL their first win in 2011 right? Not that I'm complaining, for it only extends England's lead further at the top of the rankings table.
