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
