Trundlers running through SA batting line up 

Rocky Bhai is 145+ bowler,his avg speed is very impressive

[javier26]

Have seen Lahiru bowling 150s in the past, he's a beast and troubling SA big time here..Good decision by SL to include him.

Looks like a trundler. Bowling actions looks like a trundler.

 

But pace is 140s. How is that possible?

Action is not only criteria to bowl fast

[javier26]

 

Lahiru bowling 150kmph

[Lone Wolf]

Bedingham was a big scalp.

 

SL favorites to win this game.

Nah action determines pace. How tall is Kumara?

There are many pacers with flawed/weird action,still bowl quick

Not the only criteria

Kumara has played 31 test matches so far and this is the first time I am seeing him bowl.

Doesn't look like you watch a lot of cricket if so.

SLans are destroying their stumps. Here prasidh  especially was distributing Prasadam last year in good bowling conditions and helped them score 400+.

We should win a test series in South Africa and get it over with.

 

They are shell of themselves.

 

We missed a chance last time.

 

They haven't been giving us good conditions since the 2015 series in India where they felt we doctored pitches. If we got the kind of surfaces SL got in 2019 we might have done something. We haven't played at any coastal venue apart from Cape Town since 2013. 

[rollingstoned]

They will regret that no ball.

Pitch looks slow. They make spicy pitches when India travells. 

PE, Durban and East london are generally slow. We get spicy wickets at Cape Town too. 

[rollingstoned]

In SA you will either get dismissed cheaply and quickly in these sort of conditions or score 400+ in a day because of quick pitche, small grounds and lightning fast outfields . Richly Rewards good and harshly punishes bad cricket with no grey areas in between.

In Capetown early this year where teams were getting bundled out for 2 digits score

Prasidh was giving impression that he was bowling on a different surface of Rajkot

[rollingstoned]

Gone off for rain. 

Bavuma has had 2 lives already.  Ye apne ko rulata hai hamesha.

Is he not a regular in the test team?

 

SL pacer bowling 140+ is rare. I see he has played 31 test matches. Economy is not good. Neither is his average. SR is alright.

 

But then again SL play most of their cricket in dust bowls. So it is what it is.

 

injury prone. For SL standards hes good pacer

That match didn't even last 100 overs I think.

Fitness issues. Has a thick bouncers physique along with the chad beard but that can be a problem with age as a fast bowler.
