Unity stand. Block K.

Memorial. Top side, bottom row, far right 4 people in.

To think that they could leave many balls on length alone. But they just cannot resist a nibble or spar outside off.

Yeah. And still doing it. Maybe they are practicing for the IPL

 

[Dan C]

Nice Parnell

39 for 2

 

[NeonNinja]

59-3. Olivier.

 

[Dan C]

Nice bowling

 

[Creag]

Will the hold out for another 58 overs. The Sri Lankans surely aren't interested in seeing the day out.

 

[Dan C]

Nice catch faf

 

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

Brilliant catch!

interesting game...

 

[Neoprod]

The catching today...incredible.

 

[sox63]

Clinical performance! Awesome whitewashed result and I am sure the ODI series will be a better contest

 

[CorrieDeBeer]

That is only one loss in the last three series.

 

[Dan C]

Holy crap. I actually feel sorry for SL.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Herath and co destroyed the Aussies in August at home.

Crap whenever they play on foreign soil, as has always been the case.

I can attest to the above ^ post being 100% authentic and true.

Damn! 16 wickets today and I got to see each of them fall ... live! SL were completely outplayed. And to a certain extent, they only have themselves to blame. They just had too many demons in their collective heads. Cannot leave alone anything. Even the stuff that was going to miss their stumps by a "country mile".

For the rest, the Proteas stuck to their tried and tested formula of out thinking their batsmen. Some luck went their way and some outstanding field made sure that catches win matches.

What a day.

The only complaint I had about it was their PA system. It's like it was restricted to a certain part of the stadium. The post match presentation wasn't broadcast to the stadium... like we didn't exist or they didn't give a rats bum

For the rest, 2 days well spent

Wow. You basically work around the corner from where I live. Sanlam?

Pity I won't be able to afford the tickets myself either, though.
