Ho Hum.

SAf romped home in game 1.

Courtesy of the dees with the bat and Rabada somehow starred on a SL deck with the ball.

SAf having a net in Lanka ATM. Hardly raising a sweat to snare game 2.

Looks like they've acclimated after a rusty start with little practice before the tests.

de Kock misfired in the tests but has stood up well in the two ODIs.

Looks like SA will take this series. Lanka trying hard but won't bridge the gap chasing a huge score.

SA takes the series and Reeza Hendricks scores the quickest ton on debut in a JAMODI.

So the Lankans got on the board last night, ay? A great 7th wicket partnership of 109 between Perera and Shanaka in 11 overs got SL beyond a very competitive 300 (off 39 overs).

You could say rain helped them but SAf were 2-100 after 9 and cruising towards the revised DLS target of 191, then fell in a heap.

Geez, Lanka smashed the Jaaps last night to take the ODI series 3-2. Not a bad comeback that, after getting walloped in the first 2 games.

A rare 6-fer to Dananjaya powered them to a crushing win.

Just the solitary T20 left before the SAffers can get on the plane.

Skully I think SA actually took the series 3-2. The visitors crushed by spin again but they rotated players a bit in the last two.

Walked the series 3-0 and then experimented for the dead rubbers.

Oops, apologies.

I can picture Nigel celebrating with a Pimms. Not a happy image.

So 3-all in the clown cricket then.
