Unlucky 13 again........
Sadly, the poor girl that got the cricket ball in the face may have had the best afternoon of all the spectators ?

To be fair, if they didn't expect to see a sub-par B team full of clowns, they don't follow cricket much.

The only thing they did wrong was have one brain fart after the other. They failed to recognise the pitch is more like a 130 - 150 pitch. In the end, the wicket of Tahir epitomizes the brainless approach.

I hope she's going to be okay. It didn't look good for her at the time.

SA batted poorly but should never get such a pitch at Wanderers that suits Sri Lanka 100%

Phehlukwayo proving to be expensive. Shouldn't they be trying Smuts? Then again, they're starting to find the boundaries now. The end is inevitable.:(

Think Sri Lanka will cry if they manage to lose this gimme somehow... Stupid shots.

Agreed. It was theirs to win comfortably... not cough it up.

Should never have come down to this.

Outplayed. Credit to the Islanders for their performance.

Bowlers nearly saved the batsmen in this game. They didn't play according to the conditions.

Came a lot closer than expected. 130 might have been a winning score.

Feel so little pain conceding one to the Islanders. Can't even say ouch.
