Sri Lanka in South Africa

[whufc]

Vernon Philander- 30 Test wickets at 13 in four matches...

Has done superb on the bowler friendly decks in Saffer land. Have to wait to see what his stats look like after a few tours to the subcontinent.
Looks the part though, need to keep him injury free

Along with Marchant De Lange, who took 8 wickets (seven in the first dig) before making way for Philander, they have a couple of talented young seamers...

Get rid of the hack Tahir, and play four quicks...

Got plenty of talent bowling wise but they dont appear to have great batting depth.
Agree about Tahir, tripe bowler

Tahir tripe bowler and worse wicket celebration in sporting history.

Would love to see him do his celebration to australian crowds.

[Squids]

Tahir sucks...bring back Paul Harris. Tahir is 32 as well, he is not going to get any better.

Kallis also took 6 catches for the match.




Will be good when SA come to Aus, will potentially be:

Cummins Pattinson Siddle Johnson/Hilf (Watson)
v
Philander Steyn Morkel deLange (Kallis)

That is some top quality bowling potentially.

[Brucetiki]

So 3 South African players scored more than the entire Sri Lankan side

[RoosterMarty]

Just went to cricinfo to have a look at the scorecards and there is a headline "Sri Lanka can only get better". You would certainly hope so.

[Jim05]

Still not convinced about D/L
Reckon the Lankans were robbed, Saffers were 5 down and still needed 90 off 16 overs. One more wicket and the Lankans would have gone through the tail.
