Why was Rudolph ahead or Alviro anyways? I see Kallis moved on from that pair of ducks

Lankans facing an uphill task here ...like them need another Wessell blunder to motivate em?

[mikesiva]

AB hits a century as the Saffers make 580-4 declared, but sri Lanka reply strongly with 149-2, Dilshan hitting 78, and veterans Sanga and Mahela are still there at the close.
