Lankans firing up again. Australia 8 for 227 at 47.5 overs.

Kiwis have edged past the Saffas, with one wicket in hand.

Arrow Re: The Cricket Thread

Never write off the Lankans. They fight all the way.

A couple of 4s could turn this game on its head.

Watson's nous at the death did it for me, canny bowling.

A good series but there is something intrinsically wrong with the cricket and NRL seasons overlapping.

Damn T20 nonsense.

I didn't think Malinga could hit a few fours or sixes.

You see sheepshaggers, THAT'S how you bat to try and win a test.

A total batting masterclass from SA today - well done boys.

I think the Lankan's top four batsmen got a bit over confident yesterday. It only needed one sensible innings from one of those four and it was in the bag. There batting is pretty ordinary after those 4 but yet they still got close. They should be kicking themselves today as they had done the hard work in restricting the aussies to a below par score.

I didn't read or see any of it today, but it sounds good...

"Kallis completed his 42nd Test hundred late in the day, moving clear of Ricky Ponting to become the second most prolific century-maker of all time."

At least I'll be able to watch some tomorrow. Hope they leave enough time to bowl NZ out and win!

400 lead for S.A. coming up.

N.Z. need 401 to win.
