Twitter reaction to the Proteas humiliating defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka:
#SLvSA | “We were confident and were in a very good mindset. That’s why we ended the game in two and a half days.” – Suranga Lakmal. https://t.co/999Mz7bFcu

LOWEST SCORE EVER @SOUTHAFRICA: ALL OUT 73 #proteas. Disgraceful. @officialcsa cannot now win the series. Lose by 278 in 2.5 days. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS after beating @bcci and @cricketaus? Ghost of Hansie Cronje!

Relief sweeping over South African sports fans as the Proteas give them something to be deliciously furious about.

Of things I want to see: @KAndersonATP as Proteas mental coach for the next World Cup. All rise and salute the balls of steel at Wimbledon!

Ekse Anderson played tennis ace out longer than the Proteas batted in the 2nd innings. 73 all out. Bhada’s ekse. Bhada’s.

To be honest, Protea fire has always seemed botanically unlikely.

Sri Lanka came into the first Test with No coach, No captain, No manager, No SLC president & No cricket board & to win against the top Test team with 3 No1 Test fast bowlers was outstanding. Lakmal’s captaincy impressive and Dimuth was beyond brilliant. Played SL. #SLvSA #LKA

Don’t go to channel 202. If you’re trying to maintain your Mzansi sporting mojo, don’t do it. Sri Lanka didn’t get the memo about this being a South African sporting weekend. Caster did it. Golfers are hustling. Anderson is passed out, on a drip of Oros. Now this. Avoid!

It’s the blind faith in the Proteas that kills me everytime, every dam time man
