would SL slow the over rate down if England get on top, they're on target for 90+ today, despite England trudging through the morning?
|
|
By:
think it will be pretty tough to not bowl the 90
given spinners being main weapon and fact that play can go on past 12.30pm, no light issues |
|
By:
plus england hardly smashing it to all parts hence ball alot of time back in bowlers hand pretty quick with lots of blocks and dabs to men in close
|
|
By:
they'll bowl the 90, but will they bowl 100 ish? Which is what they would do unless they elect to slow things down
|
|
By:
fancy the draw to go odds on at some point in this match.
|
|
By:
where's the official weather watch thread gone?
 |
|
By:
blew off
|
|
By:
draw on the move
|
|
By:
about time... come on the evs....
|
|
By:
england looking ok on the pitch, draw was bound to come in for england runs at slow rate
|
|
By:
not the best on the weather forecasts mate
always the threat there but im going with us having 5 full days |
|
By:
Pitch very dry, isn't going to be easy to bat on days 4 and 5.
|
|
By:
morning men
sri lanka lay going well i see  get the feeling that england will need to get majority of their runs for this test match in this innnings cook looks in the mood. |
|
By:
well full 5 days if needed that is
|
|
By:
never leave a big red exposure on the draw in Sri Lanka
been burnt too many times by the random weather |
|
By:
think england and draw would be shorter at the expense of sri lanka who would be over 10/1 imo
|
|
By:
Biggest green, on draw, small green on eng and big red on lanka for me. Will see how things are at the end of the day and take it from there.
|
|
By:
how will they bet at end of day two if england 150-0?
Eng 1.99 there that now hahah |
|
By:
not accurate at all

All this talk about "England are scoring too slowly so there will be a draw" is either designed to deliberately mislead or by people who don't understand this version of the sport.
Strauss, Pietersen and co have been criticised for getting out for small totals doing sweeps and other crazy stuff out here. Clearly, they want to give England a solid platform to build on and I think they have pretty much done that. Do you really think when we are down the batting order with 300 or something on the board, the guys at the crease are going to settle for the odd run? |
|
By:
I wasnt saying it will be a draw because england scoring slow, they are doing it right
my point was that draw price will drop for combination of slow scoring and lack of wickets with pitch at present looking ok fwiw as said yesterday think england will win the test but draw was always coming in from 4 if england didnt lose wicket in last session |
|
By:
the draw is all on sri lanka batting 4-5 session 2nd innings
|
|
By:
Remember England are 1-0 down and need to win to tie the series
|
|
By:
oh wickets are coming, eng starting to sweep
|
|
By:
are test pitches bigger than t20/odi pitches?
|
|
By:
yeah generally they bring the ropes in for T20s/ODIs kingmax, always with T20s at least.
This big back of SL at 5.3 doesn't seem to want to move with singles being scored |
|
By:
I want this draw to get below 3s, come on!!
|
|
By:
its been stuck for weeks...
|
|
By:
hoping england only 1 or 2 wickets max down today, trailing by about 120,then push on after lunch tomorrow if all goes well
 |
|
By:
I'm pretty sure that last night England would have been happy with SL all out for 275 and to be more than 100-0 by stumps on the second day...
|
|
By:
sporting have england in for a 150 lead
 will be very significant with englands tall seamers with uneven bounce |
|
By:
draw just will not budge.
|
|
By:
You're going to need weather for the draw, kingmax. This will be a result one way or the other. Probably better off getting on England now...
