Port Elizabeth Feb 23 (CRICKETNMORE): Just a couple of months ago, the Sri Lanka cricket team were literally down in the dumps, having suffered a humiliating 0-3 whitewash in a home Test series to England.

But the situation has changed dramatically in a short span of time. On Saturday, the Lankans thrashed South Africa by eight wickets in the second Test here to sweep the two-match series and become the first Asian team to win a Test series in the rainbow nation.
