       South Africa win by 177 runs
       A tremendous performance by the South African team
       Started off with the foundation from Graeme Smith, and followed by
        the devastating innings from Kallis
       it looked as if Sri lanka would contest the score with Jayasuriya
        coming out of the blocks in a rush
       Once he left things crumbled around them
       Ntini again good with the ball, and South Africa brilliant in the
        field
       A convincing win and starting to peak for the big one next year
       Sri Lanak are going to find it hard to come back from the 2:0
        drubbing, but they are fighters and will be competitive
       On Sunday we move to Benoni for a day game starting at 08:00 GMT
       A new RSA squad is to be announced later this evening but not too
        many changes are expected
       For Sri Lanka they have to find a 5th and 6th bowler that they can
        rely on
       Jacques Kallis once again going to get the Man-of-the Match award
       even though Smith lay the foundation, it was Kallis who took the
        opposition apart, added to that they spledid catch and a wicket
       Thanks for being with us, join us again in a few hours for day two
        of the Ashes test from Perth
       Good night
