Sri Lanka v South Africa | 1st ODI | Colombo l 20/7/2013

[Kianig89]

So here we are another LOI bilateral series its Srilanka vs SA .AB has won the toss and Proteas are bowling first misses out because of injury and they are playing two left arm spinners. For SL a bizzare selection Mubarak returns to the side after a hiatus of 4 years.

[soso_killer]

We'll be chasing 300+ here, i'm tuned to the Ashes

 

[Justcrazy]

First assignment for new SA coach

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka looking good here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Really surprised to see SA field after winning the Toss here.

 

[soso_killer]

Out, Morkel

 

[Justcrazy]

93 / 1 after 20 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Tharanga gone

 

[soso_killer]

Really surprised to see SA field after winning the Toss here.

i think its a matter of trusting their batting a bit more than their bowling. Not that its any better IMO, still does not make sense bowling first though

 

[Justcrazy]

Sanga & Jaya in .......... both with over 11 K runs.

 

[soso_killer]

Tharanga gone

by the way why are you not watching the Test? Its either you like the Proteas or you love ODI's more than Test cricket?

 

[Justcrazy]

96.2 21 overs

Test match is done and dusted ..... we know what will be result.

[Justcrazy]

SA bowling looks inexperienced here.

Phangiso is not even a street level player.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA need wickets here

 

[Justcrazy]

123 / 2 after 26

These two are experienced players over 22 000 runs between them

 

[Justcrazy]

These two will make SA pay big time here if they stay another 5 - 6 overs

 

[style_guru]

Lady Jaya and Advocate Sanga will pile a gazillion runs on these tracks.

 

[Justcrazy]

134 / 2 after 27 overs

 

[style_guru]

It'll be carnage soon.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA should have batted first here , there batting is not experienced for chasing.

 

[soso_killer]

320 will be the target

 

[Kianig89]

THIs series might be a runfest unlike the one in Carribbean which is collapseque

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[Justcrazy]

144 / 2 after 28 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara is a better batsmen than Jaya.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA spin options are very thin , here they will be taken apart

 

[style_guru]

Trouble brewing for SA here.

 

[Justcrazy]

50 for Sanga

 

[style_guru]

Advocate Sanga reaches his 50.

I expect SL to cross 300, and then SA to fold within 200-220.

 

[style_guru]

SL 157/2 in 31 overs.

Morkel back in attack.

 

[sam_ahm]

was just checking the no. of ODI's Hashim has played and it's just 73, even if Hashim plays for another 6-7 years, which is the max he would play he may only end up with possibly around 170-175 ODI's in a career of around 12-13 years.

On the other hand the No. test matches Hashim has played, 71, are almost same as his ODIs. I know he wasn't a regular in the ODI squad initially but even then.

Compare that to the no. of ODI's the subcontinental players play, it's astonishingly greater, they end up playing more than 300 ODI's easily should they have a career of 12 years of more.

It's all about where your priorities are.

 

[bill_123]

[Saffer_XIII]

Memories of the last time SA toured Sri lanka. Jaya and Sanga feel the need to boost their averages everytime we go there.

 

[Kianig89]

PP time 171/3 SL

South Africa's bowling is absolute rubbish. Whatever happened to yorkers?

Trouble for SA.
