South Africa have a reputation for being immensely talented, 2nd only to Australia over the last 25 years but they are prone to choking and underachieving on the big stage.

Similar to Mario Gomez then?

Specifically cricket we do but rugby we don't. About the racist thing which commentator lost his job again for calling Amla a terrorist? Dean Jones from Australia?

Gotta just say well done to South Africa, 4 days of perfect test cricket. They have batsmen that can stay all day and bowlers that can take wickets in any conditions. We were awful but we'll come again, now it's time to show why we're number 1 in this game and show what we're made of. Good test of character coming up now.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

indeed, well done to South Africa. outplayed us in this test match.

looking forward to seeing Englands fight back at Headingly.i still believe in this England team. 1-0 down in a 3 test series.

At least it puts the Aussies down to 3rd if we lose. Every cloud

Obsessed.

We've been there and done that, if we're not number 1, we don't care where we're ranked. No champion will settle for third place once he's tasted glory, let alone for so long.

So, India batting again. And Kulasekara is out, which is not good. Malinga is coming off a right caning but it could have been a much different story had Dilshan held onto that sitter that Sehwag presented in Malinga's first over.

Chandimal is a donkey in the field. Can't catch or throw.

Welcome to international cricket, Isuru Udana. 11 ball over first up, 5 wides.

You won't see anything as shambolic as that, gale force winds or not. As I said earlier, we are going to get very shit, very soon. The cupboard is bare. When Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera are the best young bowlers in the country you know something is horribly wrong.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Fucks sake, this is a bollocking. 31 already and we haven't even bowled 3 overs.

Sri Lanka need a wicket, and very soon as well, or we'll just see Gambhir and Sehwag put on about 350.

Pre-empted it

On your bike, Viru. I take back my statement on Thisara, he is all kinds of awesome, that was a fucking amazing catch. Now Kohli and Suresh 'Bradman' Raina need to be removed in quick succession.

[capriccioso 2,545]

OH YES.

THISARA STRIKES AGAIN.

He's just doing this to make me look a pleb.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Jesus. Angelo, Thisara, I hold my hat in my hand and fully apologise.

When the two of you are the best young bowlers in the country, there is truly nothing to worry about at all. 3 wickets now.

I shall try and continue being disproved. Mr. Udana, you are a wanker of the highest order, please disappear from my national team, thanks. That should make him get 5 wickets now

[capriccioso 2,545]

7/108.

I never saw that coming. Come on you Lions

[Ankit 3,176]

Quite a fall after the first game. The batsmen were undone by some poor shot selection. Not taking any credit away from the way Sri Lanka bowled.
