anyone seen this before?
|
|
By:
there were similar cases before but when there was no rain expected
|
|
By:
I think the follow on should be required - also all betting patterns in Asian should be watched by a dedicated person and anything odd picked up
|
|
By:
makes me want to leave betting on cricket - just too risky
|
|
By:
yes it is...u cud green out now if u r lanka??
|
|
By:
already done betfire - no more bets for me - all done
|
|
By:
you can't force teams to take the follow on, it's their well earned advantage to have the right to choose
teams batting 4th have got a pretty horrendous record chasing any total in Galle so i suppose you could argue that sl would not even want to be chasing a target of 80+ in the 4th innings against this pak attack on this pitch. That said it is still a completely retarded decision. could rain all day tomorrow leaving sl just one day to knock over pakistan, baffling captaincy given the fact they had pakistan down and out. Probably deserve to not get over the line here, but it's still unlikely to cost them. |

Ten Cricket informs us this is only the fifth time that a side has not enforced a follow-on after having a lead of 350
|
|
By:
true dougy - there's some logic in tiring out PAK as well I guess
|
|
By:
will be bizarre watching the market on wickets here - would expect SL to shorten!
|

nigel...whats ur call on eng vs wi t20 tonite?
|
|
By:
no bet for me - too much like gambling until it's started but I'd favour WI - all depends on Gayle IMHO - if he hammers the sixes ENG have no chance
|
|
By:
PS - apologies for the earlier rants - my emotions got over-heated!
|
|
By:
so what's the betting here on declaration. I'd want PAK to face at least 10 overs late on.
|
|
By:
just got up ...cant believe sri lanka didn't enforce ??
especially with a first innings lead of 372  I know they wouldn't want to chase anything batting last here , but Pakistan weren't getting anything over 372 ?? innings defeat thrown away ... now they have the dilemma of when to declare and the added danger that rain could delay their push for victory ...like dough says ,probably will win anyway , but as a lanka backer it's a crazy decision  |
|
By:
*dougy
|
|
By:
their batting at least is like they are playing a 50 over match
|
|
By:
other argument being trotted out is it's good for the crowd/gate receipts - which is definitely true
|
|
By:
In a sanely run cricket world, ie without the BCCI, this test would surely be the final nail in the anti-DRS coffin? Pakistan getting royally skrewed at the moment.
|
|
By:
Also there should be a disciplinary procedure whereby if it can be clearly proved a batsman didn't walk he when he should have, as Dilshan has just done, (& made out he didn't hit it to the fielders!) is banned for the next game.
|
|
By:
A misplaced 'he' in there but you get the drift
|
|
By:
must have been 10 bad howlers in this test so far, anyone who thinks the game is better without DRs just needs to watch a video of Goulds performance in this match
|
|
By:
agreed dougy - some utterly shocking decisions. is there a list of where DRS is in use?
|
|
By:
There were rumours before today rock that pakistan would join India and possibly SL and bangladesh and vote against making DRS mandetory in all tests at the ICC meeting. I can not after this test match see how they could possibly vote against it now.

By:
LoL , Parana was all over the shop there !!!
|
|
By:
Yeah just read that article-all depends how big the bribe is
|
|
By:
haha - idiots. another shocking call. love the way the market moved back to 1.11 after that - classic
|
|
By:
what sort of total do we think sri lanka will declare this innings ??
or will it be a matter of whatever they have at a certain time >? |
|
By:
i reckon they'll want to put PAK in for 10 overs at the end of the day so my guess would be they play another 25 minimum. somewhere around 200 runs.
|
|
By:
This is getting to be comedy gold now
 |
|
By:
another bad call, Umpires have completely lost it
|
|
By:
another port decision , but dilshan should have gone when he gloved it just now , so justice done ...umps having a mare though
|
|
By:
lankas RR will suffer without dilshan there , still mad that they didn't enforce, would be most likely 1.01ish by now
|
|
By:
The old monkey with red button green button decision making process might have done a better job than Messrs Gould and Davis in this match
|
|
By:
Gould umpiring Cumberland v Devon as his next posting-if he's lucky
|
|
By:
Not sure he's got a decision right in this test match
|
|
By:
What time is close of play please?
|
|
By:
think it will be 1pm uk time today
