The buggers are going for it, not poking around.

Thats the way to go

No news about Ebuldanaya coming out to bat?

I had backed lanka overnight hoping for an announcement

This is so easy seemingly, is there a sting in the tail.

Some folk have lost big on this series

Samaritans ringing off the hook again

misses all the action in this game

44444444444

I will back saffers in double figs

Ive set myself up nicely to back SA at big prices.

Cracking game so far.

horrific effort with the bat again against a modest bowling lineup

got to  be a few folk who have been stung twice by this

Yeah this series has destroyed lives I'm sure.

so he should. can always bat with one hand

780 all green!

Another boundary and i'll start backing afrika

Obviously he was going to come out to bat, his legs are working fine and all he needs to do is stand out there and play with one hand. I was expecting an overnight announcement to affect the market but that never came.

he had surgery so was probably groggy yesterday

pissed me off big time a few months ago when Mathews retired with a hamstring injury

My bank up from 2k to 5k in a matter of 10 days.

4 more tests coming. 3 in NZ and one afg v ireland

not sure i fancy backing them at all now

I understand. But a wicket would do funny things. SL under 1.1 worth a lay

444444444444

wtf they only need 73 more

yeah no point laying now i guess

Lankans are just as bent as the pakis so I will have a crack anyway

wait for 1.05

I always though Lanka had talent in their ranks even when they were being routed over and over

yeh no doubt , especially with the bat

Chanders needs to be kept out...............might be a locker room killer.

6666666666666666666

impossible to lose from here

.

I'm getting only £108 out of this, my entry was £400 SA 1.2

Nobody else got this on?  Only just tuned in as didn't have bets up but SL cruising to an astonishing series win.

40 mill matched, not bad at all for a 2 day & 1 session game

Oh everyone had it on, just window hadn't refreshed.  Did think that was odd.

another extraordinary test match..another massively overrated side(much like another which name escapes me..believe they may have been playing yesterday iirc) getting owned by a disrespected,maligned side which has displayed cojones inversely proportional to their perceived standing

go Lankans..awesome display

Test match cricket needed this, along with Windies


LONG LIVE THE GOAT

Is SA TV purging all the whites from the commentary booth?

Someone on the air now who has added nothing at all despite talking alot

Pommie is fine, not him

Saffers have a somewhat dodgy batting line up which they didn't bother reinforcing with a 6th specialist batsman.  I mean, you can see why they felt they had to play all their bowlers first test (they'd have had to leave out Olivier after an utter breakthrough series, I guess) but Philander is a good option at 8, not a realistic number 7 and they just had far more bowling than they needed.  The extra batsman would have been much more useful and I knew that in prospect too, not just in retrospect.  Even so, astonishing how easily the Lankans have wrapped up their tail almost every time and even more so how well their batters have done.

AB should be ashamed of himself

Plenty of cricket trading opportunities coming up.   I'm getting over my nightmare in St Lucia rather well.

Fats..i've actually hardly ever if at all come across that expression..'in prospect' as you used it there

maybe it's peculiar to the NHS!

Thought they would win but expected a bit of a wobble

NO BS from Faf good to see.

Joe Root should front up like Faf has just now.

what did he say?

i read his speech on cricbuzz but did he say/do anything else?

Just the tone was straight up, no whining

I am not sure how much I won but it was close to 4 figures and I forgot I had a bet!

maybe we all need a touch of Alzheimers

I forgot about the match altogether!

Nope, as I’ve said before, as English as drinking 12 cups of tea a day and tutting at disaster.

4 down.
