Just looking at the odds before i head out on the town
What price will aussies be if sri lanka win toss and bat first surely would have to go for a ball of chalk?
Thought SL played well in the last test no Starc for sure maybe no clark 1.56 is plenty short enough, believe there is also abit of weather about on day 3-4
Aussies gonna rely alot on siddle and the debutant bird he looks useful but first test match nerves could play a big part
There have not been many draws played out in tests here recently so looks a straight shootout
But a lay off aussies with possible weather concerns could be the play
Happy xmas to all the cricket lads and heres to a prosperous new year
Best of luck fellas

If only SL had a new ball bowler.i'd be piling in.Big mistake this CA rotation ****.Starc out has already cost AU a series loss.If SL win the toss will be laying AU till the cows come home.
go on daily market then ncome out and they appear
Sri lanka win toss and bat
Thought we wud see more of a drift on the aussies

nope. just makes the draw less likely. some 1st inns collapses here recently too.
Bit of movement on sri lanka at 7.8 and laid aussies at 1.62 so no to bad
laid oz at 1.66 and backed draw at 4.2 hoping lanka go big 1st dig cant see how they take 20 oz wickets though
not any more - par for first session would be 2 for 80 so not too bad
Aust have the best pace bowlers but Sri Lankan spinner far better so interesting
7.8 Sri Lanka pretty good i think
2 draws in last 24 tests and one of those rain affected

somebody had a sweat at nd of session 80 an dover was done for 25 quid a t50 with 20 mins to play.
any1 want to lay me evs over 225 sl? love to get a ton on.
have a soft spot for Sri Lanka but with their star batsman around 35 they may soon even drop behind Bangladesh if this performance is any guide
Realistic chance for this match to be over by end of Friday
sri lanka aren't interested in test match cricket
sad but true.
they just want the riches that comes with 20/20
Dilshan just looks like he is trying to get his eye in for the IPL. It has been a long time since I have seen a worse shot in a test match,

not interested is unduly harsh.
lacking the appetite is probably fairer and in part, it's probably to do with the age of the engine room of their batting.
Jaya (35), Sanga (35), Dilshan (36) and Samaweera (36) are all nearing the end of their careers and whilst Mathews certainly has got the gumption, the rest are second rate and their bowling is ordinary, particularly in unfamiliar conditions.
The reluctance to captain the side has always seemed strange to me as well.

well they wont be playing test match cricket until next December after this series so i have to question the desire
Malinga's course of action would support your theory d13pha i think
More that happy getting big 20+ on draw here. Fancy sub 4s to come. 
Wish I could see a senario where the draw will get to sub 10
If the new ball doesn't do something special where do we finish day two, Aussies 260/270 ahead?
Getting toward 450 in front maybe by tea on day three and then 7 sessions to bowl Lanka out to win by an innings and loads
Anyone see it any different??

innings defeat on the cards here , Pup will want to bat once and once only , all over on the 4th day for me
restrict lead to 200 (an immediate big if) - then SL score 500 on pitch that may suit them then Herath bowls Aust out for 200
dreaming
dreaming
At least the Sri Lankans fought back in the second session
