Some horrendous batting by SL. No way this was a 42 all out pitch. Despicable.

Jayasuriya has some homework assignments.

SA 32-2 in second test.

[Vicks57]

Markram is bang average in every format.

 

He is a huge disappointment but he will continue playing all 3 formats due to the competition in SA.

Bavuma is once again the best batsman of this SA red ball team.

Too much t20 biffing affecting his game. He shouldn't open. 

 

Bavuma is having one fo those series where barring one or 2 passages of play he never looms like getting out.

Agree with you on Bavuma. His technique looks solid.

 

But disagree on Markram. He was always inconsistent and I don't think its due to this T20 batting. Markram is not even a good T20 bat to begin with.

He plays a lot of franchise cricket around the world too. You'll start playing differently when that is the case, guys like Elgar & Bavuma don't have to worry about that.

Watching Rickelton is like Qdk never retired.

Markram has only one eye-popping innnings so far. That 100 against Australia is the only one I remember.

 

KL Rahul averages the same as Markram in Test Match. I remember so many important knocks by him in Test Cricket. He was splendid in Perth as well. By the time KL retires, he will average 43+ in Test Cricket. ODI - Rahul already averages 49.

QDK probably has like 5 times where he has faced 120+ balls. QDK scores quickly at 70 SR.

Mainly the way the bat comes at an angle. Rickelton was highest scorer I think in SA20 last year. 

[Vicks57]

Rickelton looks solid. Need to see against other teams to get a better judgement.

[Vicks57]

Kumara's pace is down. He is bowling 133 to 135k now.

[vvvslaxman]

Lord Bavuma

[Vicks57]

Bavuma gone at 78. Fantastic innings.

 

SL bowling looks bang average at best.

[cowboysfan]

comical catching from the Lankans.

[cowboysfan]

Wilson is truly deaf and blind.

[Manucrick]

Chandimal still average 43 and our ex cricketers hype kl over the moon  

[javier26]

Sl batting too well , dont see how SA can get a victory here. SA missing Coetzee bigtime.
