re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

SL been shot out for 150 and thus losing the Match by an innings and 81 runs inside 3 days :smack:

Now imagine in 2-3 years no Sanga, Mahela and Samaraweera … Welcome a new minnow

7

re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

SL got Philandered!

8

re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

Dilshan should leave the captaincy :aj:

9

re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

SL is such a mediocre team now. Dilshan is struggling for form because of captaincy whereas Sangakarra performed wonders with the bat during his.

Thats the difference.

10

re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

**Second Test - @ Kingsmead, Durban (Dec 26-30)

**Much improved batting display by SLA, 289/7

The same Samaraweera who was dropped for Pak series scored runs (86*) today

82-3

13

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

The fight didn’t last long, SAF got bundled out for 168. Dilshan was too excited for his massive 47 in 1st inning and got out for 4 in 2nd inning.

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

Did Africa choked

15

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

I think this man is taking too much pressure on him and to prove it wrong playing rash shots..

16

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

I don’t know whats SAF obsession with Imran Tahir but sofar he has been hardly any threat to Aussies or now to SL … It’s not even like he appears to be running the tail to say the least

SL lead in the 2nd Test by 308 with 3 down and still 2 1/2 days to go

Only SLs match to lose from here on

As i write Imran Tahir strikes :smiley:

SL 138-4

17

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

SAF strike again

Mathews brain fade … wanted to send a Steyn delivery to SL only to edge it to Boucher

SL 141-5

18

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

Sri Lanka lead by 356 runs with 5 wickets remaining

SL 186/5

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

Re: Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12

Tahir is more of a ODI bowler than test bowler but then again he is better than Paul Harris which to me is one of the worst cricketers SA has produced :smiley:
