keep thinking its 3-4 o'clock but its still early
|
|
By:
Even if we lost 3 whole days, Aus would still probably win
 . They could smash 200 in 40 overs & then bowl SL out in 50 |
|
By:
I am counting on a miracle 7-13 bowling figures from Herath in the second innings. And a 30 not out.

day finished

look at the odds move after play!

unreal..thought they were back out and another wicket fell!

The draw down to 6s was nonsense really. At tea Aus were about 1.17/1.18 and it is moving back there

looking at the radar I wouldn't like to be in a boat east of the island,one dirty cloud that!

Chase my losses top up at 9 or not? Needs some morning rain really. That's less likely than afternoons lost. Problem for any draw back is that the game could move like lightning if Aus lose another couple of wickets early tomorrow. Even with only say 60 overs bowled tomorrow, Aus all out for 200 and SL 50/2 at stumps is a very real prospect. Would need biblical downpours for the rest of the test to save the draw from there. Normally I'm happy enough to go fairly deep into the red zone early in a test but this one feels like a real train (wreck).

I'll wait till I see the satellite before start of play. Some early rain will bring the draw in quite a bit.
2nd innings scores better here than 1st, and as unlikely as it sounds, Lankans may discover how to bat. |
|
By:
Right now not really bothered whether it rains or not as green on draw and Aussies. Also not considering second innings yet. The immediate question for me is how big a lead do Aussies get from first innings and will it make much difference to current odds?
|

By:
I think an Aus lay covers most things. Rain, wickets & slow play?
The only thing that will really bring the Aus price down is quick scoring and blue skies. It looks cloudy/drizzly on the radar, but who knows!! The last time Aus played here is interesting too. It wasn't a washout by any means, but ended up as a draw. Aus declared at the end of day 3, 200+ runs ahead but couldn't bowl SL out due to quality batting & rain |

Yes but that team had Jayawardena and Sanga in it so i doubt the capacity of the current team. Think we will get first two sessions in most days so Australia should lead by 100 at stumps tonight with 3 days to play. Happy to be green Aust, breakeven draw and red Sri Lanka for a while. Might trade the draw a bit to build up a bit of green there.

By:
Yeh that was what I was inferring by quality batting!
I missed that game but I'm pretty sure the odds would have been similar at the end of the first day. I wish I was green on Aus  |
|
By:
Aus were 60/0 at the end of day 1 in 2011 and SL had mustered 170, so I assume the odds would have been similar to what they are now.

This deck is definitely deteriorating quicker than a normal Kandy pitch too

Once they get Usman out they have a nice 4/5 right handers to go at. Should help them
|

kettleborough you coont

By:
Aus could still get a 100 lead, which would make it very difficult for lanka.
|
|
By:
Draw still lurking around 8s!
|
|
By:
Morning
Couldn't refuse laying SL again at 8 but would feel a lot more comfortable if these two can get to SL's total. Not a great deal of batting after these two. |

Morning Mr C. I'm not expecting rain today, but who knows in SL.
|
|
By:
I noticed from your comments Juce.

By:
Much more prefer tests like these to runways.
|
|
By:
Draw looked to be disappearing over the hill at 16 but is back down at 12. Rain due?
|
|
By:
The whole of SL clear on the sat. Could be the prospect of Aus batting long.
