Thread For Sa vs Sl Series

[Deep Dey]

First topic message reminder :

Discuss here about Sri Lanka's Tour Of South Africa,2011-12(Test & ODI)
Series Preview:
Sri Lankan Seniors players had complained that they don't get enough chance to play outside sub-continent.Well,that is absolutely true.Have a look at this:
This is Sri Lanka's 1st Tour to South Africa for a full fledged series in about 9 years.That is too much gap.Overall Sri Lanka have toured South Africa only thrice before this since their debut in Test Arena.
Sri Lanka had their own problems since the retirement of the "GREAT MURALI".
They haven't won a Test Match since Murali played his last Test match in July 2010, which was against India.Co-incidentally, that was Sri Lanka's last test win.
Since then they drew & Lost home series vs Windies,Australia respectively.
They lost to England in England,lost Pakistan in UAE.Its not only Test Matches,they are lagging in ODI's too.Since a successful world cup campaign where they managed to reach the finals,they lost 3-2 to England in England, lost 3-2 to Australia at Home,lost 4-1 to Pakistan in UAE.Even the New Coach
Geoff Marsh failed to improve their performance by his Coaching Skills
South Africa on the other hand haven't won a Home Test Series since beating Bangladesh in 2008.They introduced new coach in the name of Gary Kirsten & they were so close to beat Australia at home,but somehow failed to give the finishing punch.
There have been early problems for Sri Lanka before the series even began.
There main strike bowlers are injured.
South Africa's Squad looks even more settled with the introduction Philander who had a spectacular debut series vs Australia.
On Paper,South Africa Looks clear Favorites. But you never know Sri Lanka may do something special which only Australia and England managed to do.That is to beat South Africa at home.
