South Africa bounce back in the first onedayer as the Lankans discover the good, the bad and the ugly. BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. Sri Lanka can celebrate the good, the bad and the ugly since their fantastic Test series win over South Africa after a dismal batting performance gave the home team a morale boosting effortless win in the first one-dayer in Johannesburg. That Test success appears to be quickly fading into a distant memory unless the plucky Lankans can discover a winning combination to be competitive in the four games ahead. The good was the discovery of a brilliant new talent in debutant Oshada Fernando who followed his Test series heroics with a masterly 49 before being unfortunately run out. His stroke play and cool , calm confidence overshadowed many of the more experienced campaigners in the squad as he deftly handled the South African attack smacking them to all ...

Kusal Janith Perera fireworks shock South Africa – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE   Photo Source: BBC.CO.UK Rising like the proverbial Phoenix, Sri Lanka lifted themselves from the depths of despair on the back of a spectacular Kusal Janith Perera century to shock South Africa in Durban and take the first Test. The bludgeoning Perera, batting like his former hero Sanath Jayasuriya, ripped apart the South African attack at will to re-write history as he and number eleven Vishva Fernando added 78 runs to record the highest last wicket stand in a successful fourth innings chase in the history of Test cricket. The previous highest was 57 by Pakistan’s Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mustaq Ahmed against Australia in 1994. A tired Perera said after the match, “I knew we couldn’t win this match by just scoring singles. When the time felt right for me, I took my chances”. Vishwa told me I’ll ...

Sri Lanka invent cricket’s new “Domino effect” Clueless and unprepared team succumb to relentless Aussie pace – By TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE   Sri Lanka’s visit to Australia after quite a spell delivered the worst ever performance in Test cricket since they were given Test status in 1982 as they meekly succumbed to an unforgettable demolition job performed on them that will remain in their memory for several decades. Their embarrassing performance after India toweled the Australians at home underlined the gulf between the best and the rest as the fifth placed Aussies made their one rung lower opponent feel that they belonged in the dungeons of the world game. The pathetic batting display by a weak-kneed outfit bereft of proper technique and urgently needing a psychological assessment about what courage and commitment means sent shockwaves through their supporters who were in disbelief at what an ordinary show they could ...

Lakmal the shining light as Sri Lanka bats falter – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE     Going into a Test with pre-conceived nightmares of a bouncer barrage from the Australian quicks, Sri Lanka’s mindset destroyed their ability to make the first Test a contest as they let themselves be bundled out for an under par 144 and gave the home side the initiative at the Gabba on day one. By the end of day two, the Australian batsmen demonstrated what patience and application can deliver as they meticulously built up a commanding 179 run lead throwing down the gauntlet to the visitors to show some guts and determination or perish within three or four days in what is turning out to be a predictably lopsided contest. Suranga Lakmal Photo Source: espn cricinfo (photo source: Stuff.co.nz ) Just two players stood out for Sri Lanka in their disappointing show and ...
