Samaweera good to make another century?

Really turning that FTB status around now isn't he? Good tour in England, century in SA, and now possibly another one coming up. Selectors must be kicking themselves they left him out in the series against Pak.

And Pakistan was his favorite country to play against anyway.

When SA were piling on the runs then everyone was calling it a flat track, but when SL struggle then it's no longer a flat track. Just wondering if this really is a flat track or not?

 

[talha3]

Just thinking, is the great escape actually possible?

Probably not. But if SL only lose a maximum of one wicket today, who knows.

[Saurav]

South Africa win their first series since 2008 when they overturned Bangladesh, before that they beat West Indies in January 2008. The host broadcaster used the twitter hashtag #noexcuses for this series and the home side have delivered, albeit after a blip in Durban. But either side of that aberration they have dominated as many assumed they would.

wow n they r soon to be no.2

 

[Kwremb]

wow n they r soon to be no.2

But their last away series loss was in 2006 against SL in SL. Very strange team, brilliant away, mediocre at home.
