Sri lanka lost their first match of the tour against south africa by 258 runs. They were all out for just 43 runs. It is their worst lost ever. So I just want to know the opinion of my fellow mylotter.
what they think about overseas performance of Asian teams? Why they are playing so bad overseas? I mean first India's disappointing performance against Australia and now it is Srilanka against South Africa.

With all due respect to Srilanka,they were never good outside Srilanka and with retirement of Murali they are struggling further.Just like India, SL too are facing the problem of batting on bouncy pitches and lack of firepower in their bowling.

Yes, after the retirement of Murali they are not at all good in test matches. They need some good players who can deliver some splendorous innings and can do much more better. Four more ODIs are still remaining and they can come back if they perform well

They have got a bunch of good plyers like Dilshan, Jayawardane, Sangakara. They also performed well in Australia so it is not like unaccustomed with bouncy pitch and comparing with the past record of Srilanka it is their worst lose ever. So something is wrong with them now a days. May be it is the absence of murali, Vass or something else.

It is just shocking to me what a score 43 allout where the other team able to cross the score of 301/8.
I am really shock it is not test where they fall like what they did. The high score was 19 by Kosala Kulasekara who only able to pass the score of single digit. All big hero of sri lanka fall pity on south african bolwers. They didn't even cross the 5 few makr 4 and rest 0.
What is this this way this is the same team who reaches the final of world cup ODI? I didn't belive they are so poor. Ubelivable performance by them. Now Srilnaka have to learn alot and forogt it as bad dream and again start from scratch play well in next xoming match and prove they worth to be the finalist of world cup ODI.

Definitely they are not a team with bad batting line up. They have got players like sangakara, dilshan etc. I think they must learn from their mistake. It is hard to believe that this team had reached world cup final a few months back. Just disgraceful performance.

It was an amazingly insipid performance by Sri Lanka. Only the two Kulasekara's could cross the score of 5 runs!! One of them made 6 and the other made 19. It was really a poor poor performance with the bat by the Lankan Lions. The highest partnership was off 11 runs only!!
Cheers!

yeah, it seems they are really facing a tough time. I am hoping they just bounce back.

It was just a rocking performance from South African players 
. They were too good with their bat and with their bowl. May be it is the worst time for India and Sri Lanka. But, Sri Lanka has won a test match out three against South Africa. Let us wait and see can India win at least a single match
