Kusal Perera’s epic 153 not out to help defeat South Africa in the first Test at Kingsmead has not escaped the attention of the Twitterverse. Well played, sir!
Remember the best-ever Test innings article you wrote a while back @TheCricketerMag ? Time to update that list… #Perera

Can’t shake off an ailment so am a somewhat medicated and zapped out pile of uselessness, as an unexpected bonus ended up watching the end of the #SAvSL test match. Absolutely incredible stuff from #Perera Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it! Wow.
