The Proteas had a an impressive score of 351/3 on the opening day of their warm up match, against the Sri lanka President’s at the colts ground on Saturday.
The Argus reported the big score was brought about, by fine centuries by Jacques Rudolph and Hashim Amla. The batsmen ran a tight partnership after the dismissal of Herschelle Gibbs just before lunch.
Amla and Rudolph were only separated four hours later after contributing 242 runs for the third wicket which led South Africa to a position of complete dominance.
The only batsmen who did not add to the score for the day was opening batsman Boeta Dippenaar( 1). He was caught leg before wicket by left-arm seamer Nuwan Zoysa in the first over as well as Gibbs who caught out by Michael Vandort.
