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.

We definitely doctored pitches in that series.

 

AB, Faf and De Kock *ed us up in ODI series. So BCCI got scared and laid out some bullshit turning tracks.

 

Still remember that 40 run from 200 balls from AB.

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.

 

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.

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

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

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

Cape Town despite being coastal is on Highveld.

Nice pace and bounce there too.

 

They won't host us in Durban after 2010 defeat.. and Lankans are undefeated in Durban as well.

2 test wins for them.

 

Even Poyzz have won a test long while back in Durban.

 

India Pak games are exclusively played in Joburg Newlands and Centurion for some reason.
