Bowl from over the popping crease 4 times..

You'd have to call the situation even at the moment, perhaps with Sri Lanka slightly on top. They have an incredibly good chance of winning this game with Sangakkara and Jayasuriya at the crease on a flat track. If MacGill continues to bowl as poorly as he did today, they'll win easily. Glad I put 20 on them, as I don't have a great feeling about this for us....

Hate to be following you and all, but I really think you're being over pessimistic. Tomorrow the bowlers would have had a good rest and Australia have 3 sessions where they only have to get the 4 batsmen, three tailenders and the injured Maharoof. Will be a great day, don't get me wrong, but Australia should win comfortably imo.

they still need 260 runs rite.....i will put 20 on them if they have 6 wickets in hand and less than 100 to win till then aussies are clearly the fav for me

If Jayawardene was still in I would say SL were on top, right now I feel you still have to favour the Aussies but what fantastic batting by Sanga's and Atapattu, 260 with 7 wickets in hand seems very gettable if you forget the fact chasing a total this high has never happened in Test cricket before. Draw is out of the question for me now, win or lose from here on in.

With possible rain, the draw isn't out of the question at all tbh.

Doesn't matter what happened before now, 260 with 7 in hand is easy and most batting line ups around the world should do it. Sanga won't get out tomorrow, he's not stupid enough to play a rash shot. Really worried about this. Sleepless night tonight.

Would ruin a fantastic Test match.

Still a big ask IMO.
Good to see the Sri Lanakans getting a little bit of luck after watching it go all the Aussies way, Malinga getting a plum LBW decision on the first day turned down comes to mind.
Good money on Sri Lanka you have to think.

Nah not really IMO. Obviously a result would be better, but if Sri Lanka get in trouble and then their tail manage to hang around and hold on for a draw, it'll be awesome.

The way I see it, 3/4 of our bowlers bowled excellently today and we still only took 3 wickets. How on Earth are we going to take 7 even if we're bowling well?

That's what I've been thinking the whole time watching the Sri Lankans

In that case definitely but I was thinking if it's a perfect day, Sri Lanka should be looking at victory regardless of wickets in hands, 260 over a day is under 3 an over, and I think if Sanga and Jayasuriya both stay in for a good part of the first session this will go down.

Getting early wickets is imperative. If they get the total down to 200 or even 150 with 7 wickets in hand we're absolutely no chance.

Unless Lee pulled out something special.
Surely Sri Lanka can't win this... it would be an incredible comeback.
I know over 500 should always be enough, but I'm just wondering about Ponting's decision to bat again. He really didn't get full value for Australia's second innings.
Well Hobart was the ground where Langer and Gilchrist orchestrated one of the best comebacks ever... maybe SL can do it too.

They're a huge chance. If a wicket doesn't fall before lunch they're certainties. Whoever put money on them at 100 bucks has gotta be laughing.

Are you serious? Geez, talk about underestimating your own team.
