This is by far the biggest achievement by any Asian team:hatsoff:

People are underestimating our win in Australia, don't forget the pitches  in Australia are far more challenging for bowlers plus Australia has the most potent bowling unit including spinner plus that was a long series, yes our management *ed up big time in sa but those pitches were far more difficult than this, plus ab ngidi and philander were still there.

The problem was our batsmen refuse to grow spine. Our openers till Mayank showed up were like tailenders and they were carrying one bhoj in Pandya .

Our batsmen lost the battle before it began both in SA , Eng. Kushal’s innings was so powerful that it has lifted their whole team to a new level as a team.

shows  all these talent pool , system, first class structure   etc etc  talks don't matter much . SL showed exactly that with their grit and determination.  Only a bunch of promising youngsters    .....and they did the trick ... Based on this context , our victory against AUS  in AUS makes it even more deserving ,because otherwise it would be interpreted as because of having such high talent pool etc etc . Now SL showed that   tough series can be won with out such resources too because pressure of expectations can be very low and can play with a nothing to lose attitude.So both  factors have their own merits and demerits too.

 

Congrats to Srilanka and feel happy for them . We beat AUS 2-1(potentially 3-1) & lost to SAF 2-1 . SL lost to AUS 2-0 & beat SAF 2-0.

Both teams became the first ever from Asia to win series in these respective countries. This can benefit both as catalysts to win in  SAF & AUS respectively moving forward.

Well played. They have few players who were instrumental in this series. Went on to show that inexperienced sides can also make use of the conditions and can trouble the home side if you are determined and don’t lose faith and keep backing yourself.

 

They had a poor tour to Australia and Nz rigjht before this,  yet won in South Africa, because they backrd their players enough and believed that they can win. 

 

 

They fought well in both the test matches and are deserving winners.

they didn't back their players, they dropped their captain and rest of the changes were due to injuries. It shows change is not always bad, Rahane was mopping about his  dropping for first two tests in SA.He stunk for whole England series and was still talking about his fifty in SA.
