Sri-Lanka and South Africa battle each other in the 1st 5-Day Cricket Test at Galle International Stadium in Sri-Lanka from 16 to 20 July 2014. Play starts early for SA viewers, as Sri-Lanka is a few hours ahead of South Africa in the time zones, so it is daly from about 06:00 SA Time every day.
South Africa have just won the ODI Series by 2 – 1, their first ever in Sri-Lanka.
The score cards will be updated at regular intervals here on Rugby-Talk.
South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first.
South Africa started well on Day 1 and then slightly lost their way towards the end of Day 1. At Stumps on Day 1, South Africa were 268 / 5, after 91 overs. On Day 2 South Africa continued their strong form and declared with 9 wickets down on 455 / 9 after 166.2 overs, leaving Sri-Lanka to field 12 uncomfortable overs before the close of play on Day 2 and with Sri-Lanka ending on 30 / 0 (12 Overs).
On Day 3 Sri-Lanka was steadily losing wickets and after 60 Overs bowled in the Sri-Lankan 1st Innings they were 165 / 4 (60 Overs). At close of play on Day 3 they were reeling at 283 / 9 after 100 Overs.
On Day 4 the Sri-Lankans were all out for 292 after 104.5 Overs and South Africa in their 2nd Innings declared at 206 / 6 (50.2 Overs). The Sri-Lankan 2nd Innings is underway, a target of 370 set.
At Stumps, Day 4, Sri-Lanka was 110 / 1 (32 Overs), 260 runs needed to win the game. One now wonders whether the South Adrican captain, Hashim Amla, declared the South African 2nd Innings too early!
On Day 5 the South African bowling attack and specifically the pace attack, obliterated the Sri-Lankans.
South Africa won the Test comfortably, by 153 runs.

Here’s your Cricket thread, fellas & flatties!
AB de Villiers almost, almost run out.
SA 235 / 3
Sa really throwing away the advantage now. We will need 450-500 at least
@ grootblousmile:
hey rudi. Are we going to have another Rugby talk prediction competition for the currie cup?
4 @ MacroBull:
Yes, we’ll play SuperBru for the Currie Cup and also for The Rugby Championship!!
Will create the Pools tonight sometime and invite all and sundry!
@ grootblousmile:
I meant the game blommie bul made up
6 @ MacroBull:
No, until we do not have a better format.. or a fine-tuned format for that type of thing, we won’t.
@ grootblousmile:
alright Ill try to think of an idea with lttle admin work… it was fun while it lasted
@ grootblousmile:
@ MacroBull:
Have a look at the “last man standing” concept Sharksworld used for the SR
Also looks quite interesting.
@ grootblousmile:
how about we look at the schedule of one team (I.e the kings) and predict who they will win or lose to each week in the currie cup?
I rate they will be a real dark horse that could spring a few surprises.
Then for each round you predict correct like win/lose/draw everyone gets a point. the one with the most points at the end of the season wins.
we could create a single spreadsheet for everyone to dl and fill in and submit? import it to one large sheet and link all the cells. thus creating less admin work. or simply making it a one time effort.
@ nortierd:
I think we would prefer a competition where everyone stays interested the whole season?
horrible shot from AB. we are on the backfoot now. Duminy and De kock needs to come to the party now.
MacroBull wrote:
True, hopefully the CC itself stays exciting long enough to keep us interested.
We need to give the Sharks supporters a couple of extra lifelines, we don’t want them to leave again if they lose a game
12 @ MacroBull:
Come up with a workable FORMAT for the Currie Cup… not just for 1 team… and we could certainly look at doing it!
@ grootblousmile:
but the format is all about one team 🙂
A relatively neutral team…
@ nortierd:
a +5 handicap 😀
I see that Beeld is reporting that Frik Kirsten has been advised to stop playing because of a bad neck injury.
@ Scrumdown:
eish thats brutal
looks like Griquas will need to win SWD away from home by a BP to qualify for the CC.
Leopards have an easy home game vs the bottom feeding bulldogs and look likely to get 5 points.

De Kock falls for 50
South africa 314/7 and in huge trouble… we need to limp to 400 now with jp20runs and hopefully a vern 50

Weird bench… almost sounds like a Barbarians team.
Matias Diaz, JP Koen, Josh Bekhuis, Fumiaki Tanaka and Gareth Evans.
Sharks should take this game seriously, This Highlanders team will be quite effective neutralizing the sharks… strong forwards, tactical 9 and 10… Destructive game breaking 13 and 15.
Not going to be too easy.
Sharks predictably relying on consistency

SA 402/8. Good stuff, and a pretty decent score considering the mini collapse after 195/1 yesterday
MacroBull wrote:
Lambie on the bench, I am very glad about that, and lets hope he makes a decent impact when he comes on (hopefully FS will move to FB, when he does), and the Guppies romp home with a decent win. Go Sharks
