of course i take on board the points raised by the guys earlier - will be interesting to see hoe much play we get tomorrow - by the forecasts now though it looks like none. ----- or 90 |

yeah, the anticipated rains haven't come. Expected at 5pm though and all day sat/sun/mon - remains to be seen how much disruption they will cause. ---- still expected? |
|
By:
raining heavily now and market reflecting it - anyone know what the ground is like at drying out/good staff etc..
|
|
By:
apologies - it isn't raining yet!
|
|
By:
more ramps than a skateboard park!
|
|
By:
using the pakistan good session bad session thery this next one should be an absolute stinker
|
|
By:
game not really going anywhere right now. Rain or not draw still looks most likely. No DRS is making a big difference
|
|
By:
horror session incoming for pak here, in all sortes of trouble
|
|
By:
covers on, rain really is unpredictable here
|
|
By:
draw / sri lanka price can't really do much till pakistan bat
|
|
By:
ha, it can if it keeps raining - unlikely mind
|
|
By:
Covers off - play to resume shortly
|
|
By:
and almost as if there had been no rain - monsoon type climate. SL need to accelerate it here to avoid the draw
|
|
By:
collapse - though ironically might help them if they get early wickets
|
|
By:
Umps being shown up in galle with no DRS around
|
|
By:
Poor old Sanga, one short of double hundred.
|
|
By:
Yes Poor old Sanga.. couldnt have happened to a nicer bloke
 |
|
By:
nigels draw ramp in tatters!
|
|
By:
In fairness to Nigel imo he wasn't ramping the draw. He was just a bit green about the weather forecasts for Galle.
|
|
By:
that's cricket for you. Yeah, weather forecasts clearly mean nothing here.
|
|
By:
game has completely flipped with a few wickets
|
|
By:
follow on likely to be forced - could be wrapped up tomorrow - lol
|
|
By:
alternatively, PAK could still score another 250 and game could end in a draw - totally unpredictable like the weather here - lol
|
|
By:
Pak's batting is pretty weak at the best of times and pretty shocking here without Misbah.
|
|
By:
anyone think Lanka are pretty short here at 1.23? Pakistan v SL matches in all formats are unpredictable at the best of time and I'd guess there's still a chance of some rain (I have really no idea about the rain to be honest). Even so, Pakistan showed fight with the bat in the series v England and can be obdurate when they need to be
|
|
By:
In a word no - I actually think they are too long! PAK need 220 runs to avoid the follow on - this could be the key but I just can't see them doing it.
Forget the rain - it dries so quick there and they can play on 45 mins to complete overs that it shouldn't knock too many out. Total turn around in my thinking but the rain fooled me. |
|
By:
Unless there is a lot of rain sri lanka will win easily here. Galle is a result wicket. Draw is a pure weather bet, this isn't the first time that large amounts of predicted rain have failed to appear at Galle. Pakistan batting lineup definitely one of the weakest in test cricket particularly without Misbah.
|
|
By:
indeed, will be looking out for any time in the future that the draw goes low here
|
|
By:
There have been games washed out here - but you can't put any trust in forecast rain. One things for sure - the day I decide to ignore the threat of rain and lay the draw noah will be in business
|
|
By:
Cricinfo says not enforcing follow on! They must have a lot of faith in local weather.
|
|
By:
srilanka bat means, its train to a draw
|
|
By:
what on earth are they doing?
|
|
By:
they may look to score another 130 n set a target of 500....
|
|
By:
but why? surely, they could bail them out very quickly and not need to bat at all.
|
|
By:
they might fear batting last on this wkt n hence want to bat pak out....very defensive approach this
|
|
By:
almost insane I'd argue and wonder which bookie put them up to it - no further bets for me ever with these two sides involved - far too dangerous!
|
|
By:
hope the ICC look at it - definitely match fixing for my money
|
|
By:
gud for me thou as im on draw here.... :)
|
|
By:
still won't be a draw unless there's a lot of rain
