philcric Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 What an amazing achievement. 2-0 against SA in SA. Nobody would have given them even slightest of a chance to win before the test series began. AuxiliA, Tendulkar1996, GolGappe and 3 others 6 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I certainly did not, make no mistake SA weren't deserving of a win let alone a series win! Just goes to show how the TM screwed up our chances on both SA & England tours! Edited February 23, 2019 by R!TTER coffee_rules and SrinjayDutta 2 Link to comment

Nikola Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Really happy for Sri lankan team and their fans. I hope they get better from here on. Link to comment
putrevus Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 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.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk nevada 1 Link to comment
Turning_track Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Great achievement by Sri Lankans. Really loved the attitude shown by them in 4th innings of both test matches. Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) 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.

zen Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Well done SL .... Here many think that if Ind loses toss, it will not win Link to comment
Cricketics Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 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. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment
singhprakash72 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Phenomenal win for SL...they were facing lot of turmoil before the start of the series and were given no chance. Great show of character by both bowlers and batsmen. Link to comment

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. Link to comment
