Sri Lanka v South Africa, 2nd Test, Colombo

There are murmurings Mahela Jayawardene's farewell Test against Pakistan in August could be moved to SSC, instead of the P Sara Oval, but barring intervention, this will be Jayawardene's last match at his home ground

Dickwella becomes the 3rd youngest WK from SL to make his debut after Gurusinghe 19 and Jayawardane 20.

Steyn gets 2 in 2..Sangakkara 0 and tharanga 11.
SL in a spot of bother at 22-2.
Jayawardene and Silva at the crease..
As i am typing this Jayawardene dispatches the ball fine for 4..

Still no posts on this..I expected this to be in the trending topics..!!
Update:
After that initial stutter,Mahela drives SL to safety..in fact much more than it.
395/6..Dickwela and perera at crease.
Mahela run out for 165..

Now who were those who were calling for Mahela's head.. I too fall in that list..

Home Grown bully !


33% of tons at he home ground  ?

Ah,maybe that is one point i missed out ketchim.
Maybe,but he still is considered a legend..
meanwhile..Amla hits a ton..and guess SA's score...191/6..still trailing by 230..
Looks like SL might wrap them up for less than 300.

Stumps - Day 3  

South Africa need 331 more on final day, with nine wickets in hand, to beat Sri Lanka 2-0

South Africa showing a lot of grit and determination. 118/6 off 87 overs. 13 overs left in the day. Duminy has scored 1 run from 46 balls. It looks as though South Africa are going to hold on.
