Looks good but 1 away from Rudolph, just feel that Philanders 6 wkts were more important than Rudolph's score.

Slightly generous to Jayawardene who really is going through a tough patch, and Dilshan who played two dreadful shots. Generous in the extreme to the whole Sri Lankan attack, but particularly Perera, who looked about as threatening as a mouse carrying a toothpick.

I always find innings victories can be sometimes hard to give marks to. Take Amla for instance: sure he failed in SA's only innings, but he got the one decent ball SL bowled all game, and then fielded very well at short-leg. How do you mark him? Or Smith: terrible shot to get out, people thought he declared too early but it turned out just fine, captained OK without doing anything inspirational. Or indeed Rudolph: nice unbeaten 50 and all that, but against a hopeless demoralised attack after the hard work had all been done already.

Agree with Mike those marks are wayyyyyy too generous to the SL bowlers. And yeah, Philander's 6 wickets on a flat pitch deserve more than Rudolph's "cheap" 50.

What on earth did Perera do to deserve 3 from people? I'm struggling to give him 1...

I agree Kallis gets a very rare 10.

I'm impressed by Samaraweera. Not just getting a 9 in this match - but really starting to notch up some solid "away" centuries to boost his strong record on the Subcontinent.

Cf, I agree with most of your points but to give Rudolph 2 more than Philander?

You are not keen on him are you. Very Happy
