Match can go either way...

Concur. Does not help that we are relying on Tahir who is too inconsistent at the mo.

 

[Creag]

All too easy for the batsmen.

 

[MickeyD]

We need a wicket NOW!!!!!

So Sri Lanka needs 260 to win on day 5 with 9 wickets remaining.

About 310 runs were scored on day 4 for the loss of 8 wickets.

If we don't get Sangakara early tomorrow it will be too easy for Sri Lanka.

This match will definitely have a result unless it rains.

I know its hindsight and all but shouldn't we have tried to get another 50/60 runs?

I agree in a way. The first priority is to not lose the match. That was a very sporting declaration. Hopefully all the bowlers will come to the party. I do have faith in Steyn though.

Never declare with less than 400. They could've got to it in the first 10 overs after tea.

Never declare with less than 400.

Never declare with less than 400 for the opposition to chase if there's sufficient time.

 

[OGroteKoning]

Never declare with less than 400 for the opposition to chase if there's sufficient time.

This also works "Never declare with less than 300 for the opposition to chase if there's sufficient time."

 

[Wall]

Brilliant session for us..

 

[MickeyD]

Amazing how the loss of a wicket or two changes things

 

[Shi]

As things stand:
69 overs left in the day
SL need 217 to win ... can't see them going for it
SA need 6 wickets to win

And now only 5 wickets required. The bowlers are doing well.
