[Saeed]

SL getting beating of the life. If SA keep going at this rate, I am sure they have the chance to get to 370+.

 

[Justcrazy]

118 for no loss , what a start by saffers

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Don't understand why Kallis comes out to bat during a powerplay.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Hope he goes for a duck.

 

[Justcrazy]

Amla gone , herath strikes

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath again bowling well , shows he is a class act across formats.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Justcrazy ... u are bit slow.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Another hundred for Quinton de Kock on the cards..

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Kallis is going to block every ball in the powerplay

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Sanga misses a stumping on de Kock.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Another hundred for Quinton de Kock on the cards..

He deserves it. Bright future.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Good fielding and good running. 3 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Herath 5 overs , fifteen runs given and a wicket , what a bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

Justcrazy ... u are bit slow.

Where can i get live scores ? Is cricinfo slow ?

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Good riddance Kallis

 

[Justcrazy]

De knock has a penchant for ODI hundreds

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Where can i get live scores ? Is cricinfo slow ?

Apologies. Am in South Africa and am seeing it on TV, so cricinfo there will be a slight delay.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Umpires confirm it. Kallis walks.

 

[Justcrazy]

is finished , he should be dropped

 

[Justcrazy]

Apologies. Am in South Africa and am seeing it on TV, so cricinfo there will be a slight delay.

I donot watch tv much .

 

[thivaakar]

Jam Packed crowd at the Stadium . This what happens you build a stadium in middle of nowhere, in the region with worst literacy rate, worst unemployment rate, and worst income rate just because the president ordered SLC to and he named the stadium after him aswell. 5

 

[thivaakar]

50 KM/h wind blasting across the ground.

 

[thivaakar]

Kallis following the legacy of Uncle Sanath

 

[Justcrazy]

Run rate is 5.18 , not bad , but SA must not loose too many wickets here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Saffers should target 315 here at least

 

[thivaakar]

As usual, Mahela, Sanga and Dilshan setting the fields and ordering Mathews(CAPTAIN) where to stand

 

[Justcrazy]

Dilshan doing a pretty good job as a part timer.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka need wickets , that will keep saffers in check.

 

[Bilal7]

Hashim Amla is back to the #1 ODI batsmen's spot, IMO. Fantastic player.

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs coming in singles now.Good rotation of strike , very few dot balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership twenty seven so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

After almost 12 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Ab, what a shot.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

de Kock into the 90s. Whoop Whoop

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

SA opening up now.

 

[Justcrazy]

177/2

32 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

How many hundreds has de knock has ?

 

[Justcrazy]

SA have played Mendis well here , that is why they have a solid score.

 

[Justcrazy]

De knock two runs away from hundred.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done de Kock on his 100! 4th ODI century in 6th matches

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Most 100's at the age of 21 ... de Kock

 

[JustAnotherFan]

de Kock ... he doesn't score 50s ... he scores 100s

 

[JustAnotherFan]

50 up for AB

 

[Sam18696]

Does de Kock even know what a half century is? lol
Great knock by him

 

[thivaakar]

Malinga being pelted.

 

[Sam18696]

de Kock

 

[sehban]

Duminy stalling SA momentum here

 

[Sam18696]

The breeze is SO strong

 

[Sam18696]

300 up for SA

 

[Sam18696]

for AB

 

[SL_Fan]

Top notch batting by Seth Africa. Brilliant 100s by de Kock and AB.

 

[SL_Fan]

Seriously how can you play cricket with this wind hahaha What a waste of money building this useless ground out nowhere with these kind of conditions. Epic fail whale!

 

[JustAnotherFan]

2 wickets in 2 balls.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Ain't over till the wind stops blowing at the end of the SL innings.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

didn't except to have Miller and McClaren batting

 

[m.shah]

mamooth total by sa

 

[Sam18696]

Sri Lanka need 340 to win

 

[Sam18696]

Malinga 10-0-85-0

 

[imback]

First series win in SL coming up

 

[Bilal7]

Wind destroyed this game. Lets see how Tahir goes here.

 

[SL_Fan]

Seth Africa have played the better cricket this series so they deserve the series win if you ask me. We have been really flat and unconvincing. Amla and AB are in cracking form looking unstoppable ahead of the test series. Yikes!

 

[SL_Fan]

Wind destroyed this game. Lets see how Tahir goes here.

It's always too damn windy there. If you think this was bad you should see it at night time

Ridiculous to build a stadium there. It was only built because it's the president's hometown. As a result SLC is in massive debt atm as well. These are the clown running the game in SL

 

[Justcrazy]

Huge chase for Lanka here

 

[Justcrazy]

The key here will be partnerships , and making sure they do not play dot balls , make every ball count.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sensible approach required here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Styen

 

[Justcrazy]

Although srilanka never chased more than 324 successfully but they came real close of chasing 414 against India

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Perera

 

[Justcrazy]

What a hit

 

[Justcrazy]

19 from that over

Lanka 52 / 0 after 5

 

[Justcrazy]

Perera gone , this is the issue with him , he does not carry on and get a big one.

 

[Justcrazy]

59 / 1 after six overs

 

[Justcrazy]

A partnership required by lanka here.

 

[Justcrazy]

266 runs required more.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

effortless by Sangakara

 

[Justcrazy]

85 / 1 after 9 overs

 

[haris93]

Man Sangakara is in Some Form . Form of his life
