Lucky South Africa got early wickets with the new ball.
They must be struggling, Prince is captain.

[mighty_tiger_79]

bloody hell, good luck fielding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not the strongest Sth African team out there but at the end of the day SRI LANKA must be applauded for the dominance they are having. Same Pitch and STh Africa all out 169 and Sri Lanka 600+ and still going strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

holy shit!!!!!

After a massive 1st Innings total of 5/756 (dec), Sri Lanka may only come away with a draw in this match.

South Africa are 4/311 with a day to play

A Prince 60*
M Boucher 38*

The record partnership looks like it could stuff up SL's chances for a win!

[Rik E Boy]

Get a wicket or two and it's all over Blinky.

4/ with a day to go,good luck to the Seth Efricens.

easier said than done REB, the deck is as flat as King William Rd and remember Perth but the Lankans have one thing in their favour the Chucker

Looks like both of you are half right. SAF now five down, with Gibbs & Boucher at the crease. Murali snared Prince in the 3rd over of the morning. Boucher is a very good batsman and Hansie's Little Helper can do anything on his day but I would say that they would both have to be there at the start of the last session for SAF to have any chance of saving the match.

wonder what crap Nel would have been sayin to the little sri lankans when they were 2 /16 .....

Don't think you can underestimate the performances of Jayawardene and Sangakkara.
To bring home the highest FIRST CLASS partnership of all time is really something.

there is one small problem ODB is that can these two reproduce similar displays away from home in Foreign conditions @ home they can be very dangerous to the bowling side as they have shown here

Understand where you're coming from regarding Jayawardene but Sangakkara has already proven himself to be a world class performer all over the world against just about everyone.
