*Official* South Africa Tour of Sri Lanka 2018

[Borges]

Well, look at the brighter side: these two have shown that it is possible to bat sensibly score runs on this wicket.

What a battle. Steyn vs His Roundness. No respect. The premier bowler vs SL's #11. .

Well the average first innings score is 406.

 

[TT Boy]

3 more than I expected from de Bruyn.

 

[Starfighter]

I would say SA is not having the best of times here.

 

[TT Boy]

South Africa still 60 runs behind Karunaratne. He has scored 271 runs for the series and South Africa are at 210.

 

[Xuhaib]

South Africa batting has looked associated level on their last two sub cont tours must be a point of concern for them

 

[vcs]

SA look ****ed here TBH.

Amla has already been dropped as well.

 

[TT Boy]

Amla's been dropped so that's usually a good sign. Markram's plumb though.

 

[vcs]

Fatteh

 

[TT Boy]

Sri Lanka could win this today.

 

[TT Boy]

Faf "we’re not bad players of spin" du Plessis come on down. Can Sri Lanka take the extra 30 minutes?

 

[Xuhaib]

How did South Africa go so **** vs spin what is their average score in Asia since last India tour

 

[TT Boy]

When South Africa did play well in Asia they had Smith, Kallis, who was immense against offies, a prime Amla and AB. It’s not the same team.

It's pretty amazing how much worse their newer generation is at playing spin. AB, Smith, Kallis and the good version of Amla were superb against spin, their young guns look like South African Khawajas.

 

[Bahseph]

I think the SA selection committee have unknowingly screwed up de Bruyn's Test career already. He either gets sent in when I feel an experienced player should be in there, or he gets a one off Test. Like this one.

 

[TT Boy]

When in doubt, sweep.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Would really like Amla to get a big one here.

Edit: oh ffs

 

[Bahseph]

Man expecting much from de Kock here. Hope he proves me wrong.

 

[Borges]

Live by the sweep, die by the sweep.
