Australia vs Sri Lanka 3rd final

Sri win toss & bowl

Pre game I thought SL should be 1.50-1.60...  Aus definately was a lay, now a much better price to do so.  I think they lose this game, even if they don't they trade above 3.00

Good start of australia - early days - but probaly a good price for sri lanka

5 down, australia in a bit of trouble

1 more wicket and we are into the batting tail

gsm

does make u laugh, scored 2 runs since the wicket drifted like a balloon

big wicket to break that partnership just as Lanka were about to go odds on.

Very frustrating, had trade out set at 2.04 and didn't get it.  just needed a boundary and think i'd have got it easily.

obliged to take the powerplay now ... this next 5 overs will shirley decide which way this one is going

you'd think so, run rate way way too low at the moment.

these 2 have got to get a move on for the next 5 overs now.  too many dot balls and not many boundaries either.  time to get a move on

probably not a bad wicket after Kula's last game.  should get a move on at least and make use of the powerplay.

hoping tharanga doesn't eat up too many balls

just backed over 5.5 for 39th over @ 2.2.

HUGE odds considering it'll probably be Lee bowling and in a powerplay

this isnt looking good for aus is it

booo hooo to the aussies!

Come on Lanka!

gsm sri lanka if no wicket in next 10mins

good work franco, done in 1 (legal) delivery lol

LMFAO, can always rely on brett lee for the 5 wides, why is he even in this team

Landed in 2 balls ff

cheers 365 for the price

and big thanks to brett lee who gives them a nice ball for first ball boundary followed by 4 massive wides!

serious question tho, what does brett lee offer except free runs?

wp simon whitlock

wickets?

didn't need that.

had just traded out part of my stake but was hoping for 1.9 or slightly lower to green up.

costly wicket with Kula batting well

who wins the comp if this is a tie?

wp ff on the overs in that lee over !! Kulashaker a big loss at this stage

all they had to do was milk ffs....

I'd assume it would be on wickets lost but don't quote me on that!  could be anything with the number of games they've played!

should be head to head really.

tharanga just needs to play some shots , right now

is it a one over bowl out ?

AUS +700

SRI -400

this is going to sting, ive made a mess

you had your chance to trade out Grant.  sri Lanka were at 5's not long ago

r u gonna let it ride grant ?

yeh, have to now

you don't have to at all

aus are still favs you can still reduce your liabilities if you don't think their price is representative of their chances

you'd still have a small profit if you trade out now grant.

wait a couple of overs and you might be biting your nails

gl mate I want the aussies too

i'm in a similar position in the other direction.

I'm happy to let my bet ride at the moment but will be looking to green out when lanka go odds on (IF)

just cos you missed a shorter price to get out earlier doesn't mean that it's wrong to trade out now if you think the price is still wrong. obviously no point if you still think aus are the value

ive laid us for 200 to reduce a bit

*aus

good timing

Aus in desperate need of a wicket, within the next over really

many peoples downfall comes from not wanting to turn a potential huge profit on one side into a very small profit either way even when the game appears to be going against them.

I've done it many times before and been stung.  sometimes it's right to let it ride for a while, sometimes it's not.  A wicket and you'd have been (or could still be) laughing but with runs coming resonably enough the price is always going to be going against you

fascinating to watch now. there's an air of chokiness about this convict side which is rare to witness.

wish i hadn't tried to get 24's when 22's was available on tie.  dropped to 12's pretty much straight after.

I think it's going to be a player with 5 balls to go at least

This is where they miss Ponting scowling in the covers, DStyle.

SL's tailenders aren't too bad really

maharoof should have a swing now off these last 4 balls before binga and mckay finish up the innings

No Tharanga, now things get very interesting.

got to fancy Aussies to win this now.

Malinga has the ocasional good effort but not often.  Mahroof not done much so far.

ok hearath first

herath ahead of malinga

you would think four overs of mckay and lee is too much for the tail. need lusty blows and decent strike rotation to get home from here, and with tharanga gone you may see the former but no the latter.

worth laying 1.08 here if you are on aus in my opinion, we have seen malinga smash sixes before and it will only take one to move the price a fair way

8 runs of last 18 balls bottlers

anyone remember malinga and harby in the last IPL , busting a CSK 1.08 ??

I was on the wrong end of that one

gonna be very hard off mckay now, they havent even got one airborne yet

22 from 2.

gonna have to go down swinging next over if they're to have a chance

That 4 didnt move the price too much

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Great effort Australia, impressive win. But gee they were pretty ordinary this series, especially the 2nd final

well done Aus backers and smart traders.

most of my profit was on lanka but took small profit.  should have spread more at 1.6 though

great series , unlucky sri lanka , thought they would win this decider , congrats to aus backers and Grant, well played

my book at the end  aus-14, sri lanka -250

Sri Lanka should have won after that 5th wicket stand, let the rate get up and lost wickets at the wrong time.

another couple of overs with kulasekera in there and they would have taken it, same could be said for Tharanga.

McKay was the difference really

There was nothing unlucky about that ...possibly one of the most brainless chases I've ever witnessed.

Aus +10, Lanka +170, no tie -2

series winner aus +0.64, lanka +20

should have picked up a better spread
