Sri Lanka beat South Africa in the First Test at Kingsmead.
...

The Second Test could (okay, will) be over in three days.
SA 222 & 128 vs SL 154 & 2/60 at the end of day two.

(Modern batsmen have no defensive technique. Wink )

SL need another 137 runs with 8 wickets remaining.
Could be a thrilling finish.

Now 2/160 (38 ) in session 1 of day 3! SL have scored 100 without loss in 22 overs this morning.

SA look like they'll lose 2-0. This could be over by lunch. If SL need 5 runs at lunch, I think the rules force them to take lunch first!!

Steyn so far is wicketless in this match.

Even the Stars would struggle to lose this from here.

Sri Lanka have done it!!
2/197. An 8-wicket win and a 2-0 series win. Historic moment.

So which is the true Sri Lanka? The S. African or Oz version? Or is S. Africa really weak?

F. du Plessis:

"This was a very good pitch and I think both teams throughout this series have batted poorly. ... When I was batting in both innings, I felt it was a really good batting pitch and like I said both teams did not put on the runs like they should have. I can't tell you why - 30 wickets fell in two days on a wicket where you should be scoring a lot more runs. Mentally, we were a bit soft in giving our wickets away ...

"Bowlers have to earn your wicket and for most of the series all of our batters gave away their wickets pretty easily. There are no fingers to be pointed at the wicket. ... Probably 99 percent of our dismissals were soft, judgement errors..."

Duanne Olivier to quit South Africa after signing Kolpak deal with Yorkshire

All this Kolpak stuff is bad for cricket. England seem intent on destroying the game.

And in Sri Lankan news, Sanath Jayasuriya has been banned for two years by the ICC's anti-corruption unit.

'The ACU found Jayasuriya guilty on two counts: failure to cooperate with the investigation, failure to provide accurate and timely documentation, obstructing or delaying the probe by concealing, tampering with, or destroying any documentation or other information that may be relevant to that investigation and/or that may be evidence or may lead to the discovery of evidence of corrupt conduct under the Anti-Corruption Code.

In his statement, Jayasuriya said: "The purported finding of the ACU stems from an alleged failure, on my part, to cooperate with the investigation carried out by the ACU by not providing a sim card and iPhone immediately on demand to the ICC ACU Officials. It is clear that there were no Corruption charges, Betting charges or Misuse of Inside Information charges levelled against me under the Code." '
