Sri Lanka have actually improved in each match, by this rate they'll comfortably beat the Saffas next match and be go undefeated out here... :p.

Would not be surprised if by the end of his career, de Villiers is considered as good as Ponting. Obviously needs to do something like he is doing in a World Cup final or single handedly win test matches for SA, but geez he is an amazing talent with an already superb record.

Feel for the bloke who wasn't watching the game when a de Villiers six hits him right on his head. That would hurt. Good crowd there too.

I am pretty sure it has already been said in this thread, probably during the third test, but when AB decides to tee off there is nothing better in cricket right now.

Superstar - no doubt about it. Definitely my favourite player in world cricket right now :thumbsu:
Sri Lanka won the 5th ODI with 1 ball remaining... Sangakkara and Thirimane's stand helped them get through to the end... It looks like AB and Graeme Smith's centuries doesn't help them anyway.

For AB, not only he is good at cricket but he can sing too lol

Hmm Geoff Marsh sacked. Seems a very weird decision. What did they expect, to beat South Africa in their own backyard?
Everybody has been sacked. The coach, the captain and the selectors. Hopefully this means we are actually going to get our shit together, but I doubt it.

Yep. Whenever he decides it's time, he just goes off. What's even better is that over the past 2-3 years, he's done it regularly in Test matches as well. The 277* in the UAE comes to mind, as well as the recent 160-odd effort against SL.

Amazing cricketer who could very well finish as one of the greats of this era. I've liked his captaincy this series, hasn't been faultless, but plenty there to work with. Seeing Smith on the boundary is pretty hilarious.

another one. bloody hell. this senanyake bloke has a shocking action.
Yeah, noticed that one straight away. Before he bowled his first ball in the first game he played this series, Russell Arnold was talking up his doosra, so I was pretty certain it was coming.

Looks like another 'I-wanna-be-Murali' kid. But alas, he won't be reported.
