The cameraman of SuperSport, during day 1 of South Africa vs Sri Lanka 1st Test, became a spoilsport as he captured home team’s bowling plans against Sri Lanka during the live coverage of the Test. Interestingly, the cameraman was the same one who caught the infamous ball-tampering scandal last year involving Australian trio Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft. A picture shot of the plan is doing rounds.

The picture shows Proteas’ plan to remove Sri Lankan opener Dimuth Karunaratne. It says, ‘Plan A shows, in-swingers off stump, good length, shaping/angling in from around the wicket,’ the plan reads.
“Plan B- 4th stump slightly fuller length, angling away, drives away from the body after a bouncer.’ This plan also has strength and weaknesses of the opposite side.
Talking about the match, on day 1 Sri Lanka bowlers dismissed hosts for just 235 runs. At stumps, Proteas reduced the tourists to 49/1. Coming to 2nd day, the visitors will be looking to get a good start and put further pressure on the hosts.
