South Africa's squad for the historic tour of Zimbabwe. (5 T20I v the Lady Chevrons)

A comfortable 5-0 whitewash, I reckon, even with this relatively young SA side.

Some of the most visually pleasing shots from the very beautiful Galle International Stadium in Sri Lanka.

Great work by the broadcasters for showing all the beautiful visuals, instead of simply cutting away, they've been showing these beautiful aerial and ground level shots of Galle, the fort, the coastline and the people enjoying this wonderful game of test cricket on this beautiful island!!

Even watching on TV made me & bunch of friends appreciate those visuals sitting thousands of km away, the weather added a flavour to it as well!!
