cause sanga sledged him & clarke wanted him to suffer

I wonder how the bowlers pulled up...there must be a reason why Clarke didn't have a stab at this, however unlikely a win would be

Yeah curious as well. There was a period with about 55 overs to go where SL suddenly decided to actually bowl properly though. Even so I thought we would declare at tea, and am surprised to come back to see us still batting.

Still, the goal at the start of the day was to save the Test, and that's what happened.

Can't we just call if off now though? What's the cut-off time?

2 mins

I mean they should have done it after tea itself especially with us having no inclination of having another bowl in this game, love test cricket but such phases aren't s great avert for it.

Good effort from Herath btw to get 7. Posed a lot of questions.

yearp but she can only get called off in the last hour. maybe it's half hour. same as you can get an extra half hour light permitting if there is the chance of a result

Gotta use it to get the benefit.

hahaha good onya copes, and what a dud ump.

 

[Briony]

Ultra flat tracks and tame draws are the enemy of the great game of test cricket.

I agree with junior, take the players out of it. half the time it's just a punt or a ploy. Flick the tennis copycat and go with the NFL copycat

hahaha fmd another junk referral

edit: oh wow.

 

[uvelocity]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

dar was bored and gunned him

 

[pup11]

Can't question the skills put on show by the Lankan bowlers through the 2nd gig, if anything they have bowled better this time around yet we have scored almost 500 runs which shows exactly how badly we batted during the first innings.

 

[Spark]

Can someone explain to me why SL have been celebrating the wickets so hard? Seems a bit jarring.

Aleem Dar's expression as that was overturned was gold btw.

And we wouldn't've won a single test match between The Ashes and now. Michael Clarke is killing Australian cricket

Can't fathom where all this MC love comes from. Most Aussie fans I know don't rate him highly in the great gallery of Aussie batsmen or like him much as a bloke.
