Herath still wicket less

[cricketworm]

LOl at Tahir's chest pad!

 

[Justcrazy]

174 runs lead now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka would find it hard to bat a few overs here before stumps.......if SA are all out.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 from Tahir !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Boucher 41 No.

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath no wickets ..... still.

issed

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir is no mug with the bat, I remember in pakistan domestic circuit he used to smash a few

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir 22 not out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 38

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka have looked listless again bowling, they need to get something going otherwise I do not see them beating any top tier teams.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir 2 more , moves on to 24

 

[Sherlock]

Is it me or has the Cricinfo site been ridiculously slow of late?

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka would need to bat at least 6 sessions to draw this game.

 

[AZ]

Angelo Mathews has gone for an MRI scan, groin strain.

 

[Saurav]

Jayawardene out on 15,on 9999 runs now

SL in for innings defeat,38-4,trail by 193 runs

 

[velu]

Saffesr all out for 411.. Lead by 231 runs

 

[velu]

Jayawardene out on 15,on 9999 runs now

SL in for innings defeat,38-4,trail by 193 runs

Got up and checked the score and sL were 38/4..

Philander again with 2 wickets

 

[Torpedo]

3-0 win for South Africa.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just taken the wicket of Matthews, bowling pretty well here. Just squared up Matthews. 3-23 for Philander now. I like the look of him on SA pitches however I do think on sub-continent pitches in India/SL he will not have a fraction of the success he has had so far.

He gets a lot of movement. Could he get another 5-fer? Currently got 3 wickets + can anyone show me the interview where he said he wants to get a 5-fer EVERY single game he plays?

 

[Bullet Drive]

132 kph.

 

[Bullet Drive]

JINX! he's out. Out goes Samaraweera.

 

[velu]

SL 70/6.

Mathwes 5.. Philander got him.
Samaraveera 32. Morkel got him.

 

[Fawad2010]

Sri Lankans were protected by the conditions in SL for SL-AUS series, and in UAE for PAK-SL series. But this truly shows how bad they have really gotten!

Terrible!

might get another 5fer

 

[RehanG]

lol match will be over in just about 1-2 hrs..

 

[leatherface58]

3-0 looks on. if its anything less than 2-0 saffers deserve to lose a position.

 

[Saurav]

pathetic from SL

 

[AZ]

KILL KILL KILL!

KILL KILL KILL!

KILL KILL KILL!

 

[leatherface58]

^^
jason voorhees is that you?

 

[AZ]

Ufffff, Perera almost castled by Steyn...too close.

 

[Poison]

Steyn is bowling so awesome. I think that clipped the off stump.

 

[AZ]

^^
jason voorhees is that you?

Freddy Kruger FTW!

 

[leatherface58]

steyn best fast bowler in the world. he would have been even more devastating in the 80s.

 

[Fawad2010]

Now that SA has Philander, their starting line-up is almost complete

Steyn
Philander
--- (Support Bowler)
Tahir


I am not sold on Morkel, he averages 30, he is an ok bowler, but not ideal.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor batting by Sri lanka , they should have played better here in the second essay.

 

[leatherface58]

dilshan should be sacked from the captaincy. sanga was more than decent. dilshan's shot in the 1st innings was outright criminal.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is just a matter of time before SA will get the remaining wickets also.

 

[Justcrazy]

dilshan should be sacked from the captaincy. sanga was more than decent. dilshan's shot in the 1st innings was outright criminal.

Sangakara is not interested in being the captain, that is why Dilshan was made.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dilshan is completely out of form, that has really hurt Sri Lanka. They depend on there top 4 heavily.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka need to blood in youngsters and show confidence in them, Sanga & Mahela are not getting younger.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pierera moves to 14

 

[Justcrazy]

Drinks.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

100 up for Sri Lanka

 

[velu]

[velu]

SL 104/6.. trial by 127 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

They trail by 127 runs, I hope that Sri Lanka can avoid the innings defeat at least. For that they need Pierera to use the long handle and have some fun here.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think the best way for Sri Lanka here is to attack...... if they can gt some runs that would avoid innings defeat at least.

 

[velu]

 

[velu]

Steyn gets Perera

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[velu]

SL 105/7.. trial by 126 runs
