Seems like even the Proteas are starting to turn to sh*ts.
That was not Sri Lanka's match to win. SA had them on the ropes and lanka was kept down to a low total due to consitent wickets falling.
Again, SA's batting didn't capitalise.
Zoysa with career best figures and Dilshan with an easy 4, for once I don't think Vaas was involved. It wasn't all SA either, Sri Lanka are great when defending, quick through the overs and great in the field.
SA had their pants pulled when they were 6/50 odd, I couldn't believe the scoreline. Gibbs - another failure, his 3rd. Might as well send this guy home, or give someone else a go, like Dipenaar.
After this performance, I don't know if it's Sri Lanka who is playing well, or SA who is a rabble.
Hopefully it's more of Lanka playing well. 2 ZIP! :D
Nope, South Africa are playing like hacks from what I can see. But all credit to Sri Lanka.
Credit to Lanka, but of course, alot to do with SA. They have one of the best/longest batting line ups, and the thing most notable from their performances, is their fight. It's non existant. When they collapse, there's no real resistance.
Doesn't help when they've lost the last 7 ODI's straight, also when your coach says "I'm close to walking out...." as quoted in an article.
Sad stuff, but I'll never ever count them out, even 2 zip up, SA just have too many weapons to be counted out.
