Thanks for that, Rockstar. It has to go down as one of the greatest individual efforts by Pereira, ever in cricket. The bowling was brilliant but how did Pereira keep out that attack?

I watched South Africa's first innings, and a part of Sri Lanka's innings from day one.

A couple of things to note:
- Sri Lanka didn't have a batsman who averaged in the forties, all 20's and 30's.
- Rabada, Steyne, and Philander, all average 22ish with the ball.....brilliant bowlers. Even Maharaj, their spinner averages 25.
- A new South African bowler, Olivier, before this test averaged 16, and had 2/13 and 3/13. He's near 7' and has incredible bounce. Potentially, better than the above three bowlers.

I'm an Aussie through and through, but cheer Sri Lanka loudly for that effort.

Just checked and Olivier's average after the game was 18.56, but I'm sure his average popped up in the game as 16ish, which must have been for an individual series......just to update. It's really worth watching a clip of his action.
