I think these comments are unfair. On a pitch which clearly favoured the Sri Lankans, I think that SA deserve more credit as they clearly outplayed Sri Lanka in all departments (except spin of course) for 90 overs of the game. It was through an individual that Sri Lanka got back into the game. You forget that Sri Lanka are 1 of the stronger sides in the competition. I do not think that Sri Lanka had an off day. Ntini and Langeveldt just bowled superbly. Give credit where it is due. My main concern is with Kemp. What is he doing in the team. He never seems to contribute under pressure and he does not even bowl any more. Perhaps Bosman or Prince should be egiven a go. Pollock is another concern but he will bounce back hopefully.
