The bookies always seem to get this wrong. The Sri Lankans are not a great Test team at the moment as they don’t have the bowling talent to take 20 wickets in a game. However, in the shortened version of the game they are one of the best teams in the world and they will challenge the Aussies on every front. At around $2.70 in a two-horse race the Sri Lankans are great value!
