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

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 :D

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

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 :D
