#4 Hashim Amla throws away golden opportunity
Like Elgar, Amla too has been very inconsistent, of late. But unlike him, he has been a prolific scorer in the past, so much so that he was hailed as the epitome of consistency. The South African has, however, been in woeful touch of late.
His last half-century seems to have come a billion years ago and his tacky technique is coming under the scanner. With South Africa firmly in the driver's seat, it was a much needed free opportunity for Amla.
However, he was undone by a Lakmal special which nipped off the surface to catch his outside edge on its way to the keeper. His average had dropped to below 50 earlier in the series and with this duck in his kitty the free fall isn't stopping.
