I can't see Lanka winning a game in the test series on this tour. I think the batting of SA will be too much for a pretty weak bowling attack and i think Sa bowling will make some pretty good inroads in to Lanka's batting. I can't see then handling the bounce of Morkel and pace and swing of steyn. Hope i am wrong but i see it as a pretty one sided series.

Yes cant see Srilanka Posting any win over there. Srilanka are now mediocre team just like Australia and West-Indies after some of their champions bowler have left.
Jacques Kallis will feast upon the paltry srilankan gentle medium pacer and moves to his 43rd Test century and 12.500 test runs by the end of this series only adding to the growing apprehension if he really is the greatest batsman of our generation .
Kumar Sangakarra, the batsman I rate much above the likes of Ponting and Jayawardene and on par with likes of Tendulkar ,kallis and lara and Dravid, will find the condition difficult but nonetheless will emerge as the highest run getter for his country with 2 centuries.
The final scorecard 2-0 south africa and a rain interrupted Draw.
Sri Lanka did show some fighting spirit in England and for one freak afternoon/evening in Cardiff they may have come home with a 0-0 draw. Granted at times the weather made it hard to get a result but they are still a gritty batting team.
Bowling is weak though but its not easy replacing over 1100 wickets from Murali and Vaas.
Ok - so i was being a tiny bit generous but i predicted that i was going to have porridge for breakfast & that came true!
Well lets hope we're wrong or we could be in for a very one sided series which would be a great shame after all the good competitive cricket we've seen in the last few weeks.
It will be great to see if Sri Lanka play there shots & take it to the South African bowlers! Ohhh Exciting!
Sri-Lanka on there day can play some beautiful cricket but it's a matter of getting 3 sessions a day for 5 days that lets them down....much the same as my Aussie team.
can see a couple of draws if SL play well, but i can't see them taking 20 wickets
SA are stronger both in the batting and bowling departments, so I can't see SL getting anything our of this series.
You never know if Sri Lanka can win a toss or two. Their batting is not poor, as was shown on their tour of England. They have technical players capable of making a century.
And we all know the Saffers have a tendency for choking. If Sri Lanka put 500 on the board, collapsing would be a very South African thing to do
I think we have got a few England suppoters here more concerned of losing the ranked No.1 test nation then anything else.....never mind OZ will hold up there end of the bargain and toss India....
Great shot from Dilshan... If he carries on like that he wont be captain for much longer..
Gotta feel sorry for Dilshan, he is clearly stuggling with being skipper and batsman/opener. I think Sri Lanka need to relieve him and start with someone young like Matthews.
Pretty decent effort from Sri Lanka given the ridiculous shot if their captain.
By the way I found this.
