3rd Test Sri Lanka vEngland

[another grub]

another bad investment..... 6 wickets in 130 overs from a padestrian england attack....pathetic
got more chance of Jayawardene getting struck by lightning than getting him out......

20035 Draw $1.20
20034 Sri Lanka $4.25
20036 England $34.00

[overloaded]

I cant beleive they are still offering $1.20 the draw. That is easy money.

[The Dutchman]

Not sure what is happening over there. They said 100% chance of rain today, but they have got through more than an hour of play already.

[The Dutchman]

England 4/22 chasing 499. Poms need the rain now!

[The Indian]

Poms are in Shambles early, 4 for 22, Glad i doubled up on the $7 on offer yesterday. Could be an early xmas Pressie AG. Go the Lankans

[jackpot jim]

Make that 5/29 off 10 overs.

[locky801]

6 for 30 odd, perhaps the bookies should throw it open for big money for the Poms to make 200

[eags]

1.66 the draw looks good to me!

Innings score under 133.5 @1.85

[another grub]

How the tide turns......

20034 Sri Lanka $1.40
20035 Draw $2.70
20036 England $151.00

Barmy Army 2nd best side in test cricket..... just goes to show how pathetic they are.... can always count on the Poms.....

might have a save on the draw and I cant lose.....

Merry Xmas overloaded.....

[The Dutchman]

Good work Grub, now little grub can get a Christmas pressie. Or you will have more to spend on the Christmas Hanciap

Cant lose now after backing the draw

Dont believe every weather report you read overloaded

[overloaded]

I still have th weather on my side by all reports, the days finish early I am still a 50/50 chance. Although taking $1.40 for a huge amount I am now starting to check my dacks.
The pitch had a lot to do with it KP and MP were dealt harsh blows with a up and down pitch.
Its now going to be a long couple of days

[another grub]

haha.... the weather v englands batting...... should be a good dual.....

[overloaded]

BTW.. I thought your tide joke was a bit tacky

Time will tell on the weather, its looking good for me

[another grub]

No pun intended......

Looks like ol just went and loaded up on the SL's

20034 Sri Lanka $1.33
20035 Draw $3.00

0630: LUNCH - Eng 202-5
If you can stomach anything after that last desperate frenzy, you've a stronger constitution than me. Latest new man Prior hangs on in Murali's final over before the break in the fashion of a cartoon character snagged on a stray branch after falling off a cliff. That's lunch, and Sri Lanka will tuck in with the heady scent of victory in their nostrils.

From Peter Yarranton: "Might I suggest match-fixing?"

0620: Eng 200-5
Just to re-cap, England just lost three wickets in four balls, all three of them to shots so poor it physically hurts to recall them. Cook almost joins the departed back in the hutch with a panicked waft at Slinga's rapido. Heavy sigh.

From Tim Beale, Lima airport: "OK - so it's not so boring now."

0614: WICKET - Bopara run out 0, Eng 200-5

I'm not joking. I'm really not. Bopara edges his first ball to slip, takes a shaking-legged pace down the pitch and is stranded like a flapping salmon as Jaya's flick back beats him all ends up. Three wickets in a single over, and a pair for Ravi B. That's the great thing about watching England - joyful surprise after joyful surprise.

0612: WICKET - Collingwood st P Jayawardene b Muralitharan 0, Eng 200-4

Here we go again - after surviving a single delivery, Colly is teased down the track by a mesmerising marvel from Murali. Bamboozled by a doozy of a doosra and with his back foot halfway to Colombo, he's stumped by a mile. On the England balcony, Michael Vaughan looks sick.

0610: WICKET - Pietersen c M Jayawardene b Muralitharan 30, Eng 200-3

Uh-oh - KP tries a reckless joust against a big twirler and pops it straight into skipper's palms at short mid on. Murali's ecstatic - he'd been planning that one for a while - but KP's so furious he might eat his own bat.

[Dutchy]

Kick them home AG!!!!
