South Africa v Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Centurion | 15-19/12/11

[velu]

Saffers lead by 32 runs.

 

[velu]

Dilshan should not be bowling here ....get a regular bowler here.

he needs todo something to be there in the team

 

[AZ]

may be trying to get some quiet overs quickly to avail the new ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fernando needs to lift his game, he is a senior bowler, needs to strike when the team needs him.

 

[Justcrazy]

:dropped

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor fielding there

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath still wicketless after 13 overs, he has to strike.

 

[zid60]

[Justcrazy]

Herath not looking that threatening here.

 

[Justcrazy]

None of the Sri lankan bowlers looking likely to pick wickets.

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

AB on 45 .....

 

[velu]

Both the batsman looking set for big score here.

seen some 3 or 4 overs in stream, nothing is happening for SL bowlers..
if SL doesn't get wickets with the new ball , it will be soon over for them

 

[Justcrazy]

I think with this kind of bowling, Sri Lanka would find it very difficult to win Test matches.....

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

i hope the lead is not more than 100 otherwise it will not be a close match

 

[Justcrazy]

seen some 3 or 4 overs in stream, nothing is happening for SL bowlers..

It looks like Sri Lanka need some mistake from the SA batsmen..... otherwise it's looking gloomy for them.

[Justcrazy]

Malinga needs to play Test matches, it's important for his country.

 

[velu]

Welegadra and Perara worse than Vinay and mithun

 

[Justcrazy]

Tea on day two, with South Africa taking control of the Test.

 

[Justcrazy]

Let us see what Sri Lanka can throw after Tea.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Sri Lanka need to look out for better bowlers at test level, and show confidence in them

 

[velu]

Saffers lead by 77 runs.. Max 39 more overs possible

[Inswinger]

Poor ABCD.....

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead of over 200 would mean a chance for SA to win by an innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander can bat, he is more than useful lower order hitter.

 

[velu]

Lead of over 200 would mean a chance for SA to win by an innings.

might be difficult, but morkel can bat..
Philander averages 27 in FCs
