Can things turn around ?

Things that have been more lively than the SSC Test pitches in recent years:

the planet Mars,

the SLPL's twitter account

the third floor of London's Langham Hotel in the dead of night.

The last three Tests there have been draws.

But with Sri Lanka requiring a win there to level the series, perhaps the groundstaff 

have produced a surface more akin to what first-class teams regularly encounter at SSC.

South Africa appear settled and at ease in Sri Lanka, both on and off the field.

Morne Morkel and AB de Villiers have had their hair clipped at a roadside barber.  8)

Hashim Amla trim his Beard ? ....NOT 

The views around the Kandy hills even prompted an unusually sensitive appreciation

for nature, from Dale Steyn.

Unfortunately for Lanka, none of this has prevented the visitors from being ruthless !

Steyn and Morkel accounted for 16 wickets in Galle :

striking with raw pace and bounce as much as through reverse-swing.

A series victory of any description will see South Africa reclaim their top ranking.
