Aussies are supposed to tour in Feb. It's going to be an absolute massacre.
Well Aussies better pray Pak doesnt give SA much confidence when they tour Pak.

Daryn Dupavillion should have been in the side. Our bowling looks powder puff.
Oh God 95mph around the wicket in the rib cage.
Nortje is surely one of the fastest around.

Well that's certainly a possibility.
Given Pak's habit of folding to debutants/newbies , won't be surprised if Sipamla ends up doing some badmashi in Pindi.![]()
What a shot from the man with the best name in world cricket!
It’s at centurion, therefore I am sure SAF will respond equally or better, but have to say Arthur has posted his mark in Srilanka cricket. They are batting at 4+ rate in SAF which commands every bit of praise and respect. Had Dhana not been injured, could have been even better. But, I think SAF still will win this Test - they can post 500+ here to put pressure on SRL in second innings
Supporting CSA.
Go Lungi Go! Hopefully, Markram hits a 200 and seals his spot in SA team.
Why? Always support the underdogs and SL are the underdogs here even though they whitewashed SA the last time.
Not sure about that with current SA batting. They might choke under the weight of runs. And SL bowlers are good with the new ball provideecthere is movement and they'll find enough here I think. I cant think of the last time SA scored 500 in such conditions . They are at their weakest.
Valid point but, there is a certain average number of players of colour whicSA has to maintain. Though Sturrman who is more experienced than Sipamla could have played.
Will De Silva bat again ?
If he can, he should just hold an end and try to hit out. No need for singles

SL will score 400+.
Still a good batting unit and they’ll play against Srilanka without Lakmal. Arthur has his other mark in the squad as well - there are 2-3 “all-rounders” in Lanka line up who are not going to do much with ball. What SAF has to avoid is losing few wickets against new ball, after that they also can enjoy the trueness of centurion track.
Maybe but Supersport park has usually favoured teams batting first and it's usually a nightmare to bat last as the pitch starts misbehaving. Only teams that have been blasted out for less than 200 while batting first have lost here. SL have already scored 330 + . Last 10 years' history favours SL.
Have SA bowled poorly or SL have just batted very well. It's not often you see an Asian team score 340 runs on the first day in SENA.
Runs on board always handy, but I think this game still in balance.
Now Srilanka needs to bat quickly and get all out by today so that they can start bowling at the start or early next day. Just passing by time isn’t helping their course here.
SA's bowling attack looks toothless
Is Sri Lanka winning in South Africa going to be a thing now?
It was embarrassing enough for Pakistan and India that Sri Lanka beat them to the punch, but if they win again it will be a slap to the face of both.
Even if they draw series
Huge early blow to SL. Their best pace bowler Rajitha pulled a hamstring. And cant bowl any more.
SA in luck . DDS injury limited SL's score and now no Rajitha either.
