Sri Lanka It's Happening

August 17, 2006

The last time the South African cricketers visited Sri Lanka they were made to chase leather all over the park. They lost the test series and in the one day series they were hammered 5-0.

Then Sri Lanka had a nightmare tour of India followed by a tough tour of New Zealand and australia. The Sri Lankan cricketers were really struggling until they came up against the South Africans in the triangular series. What an opportunity it provided to the sri lankans to get their confidence back. The end result was that the Sri Lankans made it into the finals while the South Africans headed back home.

Now in the present tour, the South Africans have again had a hellish time of it. Record after record has been established against them. Obviously they fear going from bad to worse. They don't fancy playing India and Sri Lanka in the one day triangular, so they cowards packing up their bags and leaving.
