As expected Sl won the series, they are a far better side than the SA. From the beginning, SA batsmen were struggling to play the ball. Good tight and precise balling by the SL bowlers, fielding was also very good. 203 was not a big target to defend but SA batsmen have had no clue what was happening in the field.
I don't think that Sri Lanka is a better side when compared to South Africa. The first two matches were close, and SL won the third match only because the track provided too much support for the spinners. And I still regard Sri Lanka as the weakest side among the 9 test teams in the first division. They are in a never-ending decline. The national cricket board is not in talking terms with the players and the domestic structure is in shambles. A series win, just by preparing horrible surfaces doesn't matter much in the long run.
I think so. But if we look at the two teams very closely, both teams are trying their best to get back on the truck. But they do not have enough talented players now. They have to create players or find talented players. With such an unstable team, they will not be able to perform well for very long. Their ability will be understood in the World Cup. But I think the South African team from Sri Lanka is strong because the South African bowling lineup is still strong enough. Sri Lankan pitch spin is helpful. So the South African bowlers did not perform well.
