SA send Sri Lanka in to bat

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Ken

South Africa won the toss and sent Sri Lanka in to bat on the first day of the first test at Centurion on Thursday.
    A pitch sporting a healthy covering of green grass and partly-cloudy overhead conditions should provide plenty of assistance to the pace bowlers.
    Sri Lanka have made three changes to the team that drew their last test against Pakistan five weeks ago and will go into the match with just one frontline spinner in left-armer Rangana Herath.
    Seamers Thisara Perera and Dilhara Fernando come into the team for Dhammika Prasad and Kosala Kulasekara, while spinner Suraj Randiv makes way for an extra batsman in the experienced Thilan Samaraweera.
    South Africa are fielding the same XI that lost by two wickets to Australia to level the series three weeks ago.
    Teams
    South Africa – Graeme Smith, Jacques Rudolph, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, Ashwell Prince, Mark Boucher, Vernon Philander, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Imran Tahir.
    Sri Lanka – Tharanga Paranavitana, Tillekaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardena, Thilan Samaraweera, Angelo Mathews, Kaushal Silva, Rangana Herath, Thisara Perera, Chanaka Welegedara, Dilhara Fernando.

  • Thought of the Day

    Philippians 2:13 – “For it is God who works in you to will [to make you want to] and to act according to his good purpose.”

    When you realise that God is at work within you, and are determined to obey him in all things, God becomes your partner in the art of living. Incredible things start to happen in your life. Obstacles either vanish, or you approach them with strength and wisdom from God. New prospects open in your life, extending your vision. You are filled with inspiration that unfolds more clearly as you move forward, holding God’s hand.” – Solly Ozrovech, A Shelter From The Storm

    But not living your life according to God’s will leads to frustration as you go down blind alleys in your own strength, more conscious of your failures than your victories. You will have to force every door open and few things seem to work out well for you.
