Sri Lanka Tour Of South Africa Dec 26 - Feb 10, 2017

[prinzo]

A clinical world-class bowling performance by Vernon Philander, a superb third test ton by Stephen Cook and a second successive 100-run stand by the South African openers gave the hosts the ascendancy as they reached 351 for five at the close on Wednesday in the first test

No offense to Vernon, but he is totally dependent on conditions as bowler. When pitch is flat he is not so good.nobody mentions "in these conditions" phrase which they attach it to Ashwin.

I really like this Mendis kid from Srilanka .Was excellent against Australia in that 170 knock

Is looking like the next big battling talent emerging from Lanka

South Africa captured two vital wickets in the last session to move closer to victory against Sri Lanka on the fourth day of the first test at St. George’s Park in Port Elizabeth on Thursday, despite the dogged determination displayed by a valiant Sri Lanka to reach 240 for five at the close in their quest for a world-record fourth-innings chase of 488

easy win....

 

Got to admit ever since quota were introduced SA have been quite good. No the doom and gloom people predicted for them.

^ More than quota issues the big factor is Du Plesis .Him taking over as test captain has helped moulding SA into a real cohesive unit despite the absence of their star players

Pathetic Sri Lanka
