***FATTED***

could get a big score here aussies  over /under 336 10-11   365

Someone out there, or possibly several people, really seem to want to back England to win tosses at 1.98. Won another £1.5k less commission this game. Started with England lay although didn’t do it early enough so only got 1.51 and sold most of it off a bit early. Keeping the last £250 for a bit, I think. England to chase upwards of 340 successfully on this, is my prediction.

I think they’ll get plenty here but am a little wary of backing high on run lines as the batting is rather patchy after the openers and Marsh. In fact, Finch is the only one you’d really call a proven performer.

Glad I’d got most of it off now. Back in but high chance of an Aussie fizzle now, I’d say.

ive cursed em

Terrible couple of shots, weren’t they? I appreciate it’s worth attacking but its 50 overs, not 20. You don’t have to murder absolutely everything and pulling a not short ball that doesn’t need to turn to be on the stumps and sweeping so early both feel like low percentage efforts.

Anyway, gone in bigger on Aus now but with England shortening as we go, leaves me nominally flat, despite some nice early trading.

come on marsh give me a 66666666

Really tempted to take more lays on as they shorten but I don’t like it for more than a trade, as I think this is now a pretty even match state and England a much, much better ODI side. I don’t normally believe in there being much of a disparity in quality between serious cricket nations in limited overs but this series is an obvious exception.

Also, as a trade, what needs to happen to move the price a decent way? Probably a bit more proper damage. A few quiet overs with the odd 4 won’t do it.

there goes my marsh to hit a 6

GSM aswell, no batting left

Oz making a pig's ear of this after a lively start..pity they couldn't do likewise in the Ashes

lol, just saw the game

5-0 it will be then

Aus have just won 2 of their last 20 ODIs.

5 down now. Glad I had to miss the start. Might have done myself big time trying to lay England

HTF did they win those?kamikaze merchants

What a beautiful day and many thanks to those lovely Puma chappies, again..

Oh Fleur of Scotland 

Its good Joe Root is getting away with his bowling so much because otherwise there is no need

for him at all in this side...

Eng got no chance of winning ODI WC with a little sh1t like Root and his ilk bowling

The batsmen won't get them out of jail ALL the time

Plunkett all the agility of a frigging oil tanker ffs

Yes johnny. You can't expect them to win the WC with a crap bowling lineup. And there'll be a game where all the batsmen fail and that'll be it.

Most probably against Pakistan.

Backing 250 at 4.00

4444444

666666666

nice bet that

ayt

Australian fans must be wondering how some of this shower ever got selected for their country. Just shows how quickly a team can collapse into chaos if you remove 2 key players plus the manager.

crr is still 6.4 with 8 wickets down

I asked this before as well but didn't get an answer. Where are Starc and Hazlewood?

Rested or injured?

Time to lay 200 methinks

still getting hospital treatment to remove sandpaper particles from under their fingernails

they knew nothing about it

there was a spike before the bat hit the ground.

Absolutely hammered on this.....one must admit this.   I'm not a post and run merchant! ***Absolutely Hammered***

Seeing Eng rampant at World Cup is cheering me up, not that I'm winning a penny on it.

Hope the football second half is not as bad as the England innings here!

Root..useless little c*nt

To make matters worse I redded out I would have been safe otherwise.

u made one mistake 2day..CS..u shoulda stayed in bed

engerland have burst a short one here

I remember FS earlier this week saying "I'm never ever redding out again" and I know how he feels.

I would have been drowned in clover.

Eng were bound to fkup at some point.

you've got a coupe of 'we play our natural game type of players' out there.

a game like this.

Aussie supporters will be a bit more cheerful now.

uh...just put it on, any reason I shouldn't hugely back aus at 1.85?  seems ridiculous value?

still fancy england to win myself

no pressure on the required rate and still got capable batsman

and its the footie team that are dog shi t

mugeen ali

those 2 really needed to know another 30 runs off

knock

Eng were 1.03!!

Buttler is a proper goat

what a knock from the Boss

OZ are truly pathetic

£81.36 RED on Eng
£65.06 RED on Aus

That is a fantastic result for me ...........one of my best reds ever.

Jos BBC Sports Personality of the year 2018.....................if Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill & Nick Faldo win 5 between them why not Jos?

buttler total stud..as good as lionel

Very brave not to take the single to guarantee a no lose !

all about the winning

No, all about the ZIP..............

if he was a footballer would be worth a fortune

Take a bow Jos Butler. Good to know he has a sane head.

I was basically red from the start. Then I thought it wouldn't hurt if I layed Eng at 1.05. Didn't press the trigger.

Then I thought of laying Aus when Eng were 8 down. Didn't press the trigger thinking its over.

Moral of the story: If it doens't hurt buying, just buy it ffs.

400 odd runs for 3 times out since coming back from the IPL. must be in the top 2 or 3 ODI players in the world

Oddly the ODI ratings don’t especially have Jos very high and generally haven’t done, despite his outrageous stats, especially his SR. I don’t think the algorithm is correct and probably undervalues both SR and non top 3 batsmen.

the rankings are nonsense and clearly overrate volume of runs and underrate strike rate. england wouldn't blink an eye if joe root was missing but buttler would leave a huge hole in the side

he averages 40 and has a strike rate of around 120. no one in the entire history of ODI cricket combines such a high average with that phenomenal strike rate. most of the others significantly above 100 are lower order sloggers and have done it from a small number of games

Yep, he’s a phenomenon. Afridi managed over 100 but at a poor average. Otherwise, even recently, yes, nobody can compare.

Root is a guy who, like Morgan actually, would have looked like one of our best ever ODI players as recently as 3-4 years ago but yes, is now a relatively marginal pick I’d not mind Stokes coming back for, whereas I’d be really grumpy if any of the current top 3 made way and obviously Buttler is awesome.

How can you guys forget ABD who has a 100+ career strike rate at an average of 53 for the whole fking career???

Also, the ICC hasn't updated the rankings since March. So calm down. They usually take 12 hours to update the rankings after each series.

The current number one ODI player has scored 550+ runs in just 6 matches at an avg of 186 and a SR of almost 100. Jos has almost the same amount of runs(about 20 more) but just under half of them have come in this series, which isn't reflected in the ranking.

He'll get the spot. Just wait for the update. ABD will go out too so that's one spot gone. Plus the two cheating conts haven't played any cricket(do they get kicked out of ranking coz of suspension? I guess not).  In fact hardly anyone has played any cricket due to the IPL so Jos the Boss gets right into the top 5 when you wake up tomorrow.

I was just on the phone with the ICC, they say he's 2nd in the updated rankings but the rankings will only be published tomorrow. That's quite a jump well done Jos Butler you the man.

with due respect to ABDV there's a lot of players with a strike rate around 100. i was looking specifically at the handful of players with a strike rate of like 110 and above

ABDV certainly has by far the best average/strike rate combo amongst batsmen who played most of the time in the top 5

As they say timing is everything. I must have bet on England last night (pissed) @ 5s & fell asleep. Just noticed my bank has increased quite nicely The boss will be in my good books for a while now

The rankings have been updated and he is 16th!

Probably didn't get much credit for his runs this series as its against the 6th ranked side in the world, at home.

The point about the rankings and Jos is that he’s been roughly this good for ages and never been appropriately highly rated. Multiplying average and SR together would be a better measure, I think.

Fine work and lol jucel. I got stuck on Aus having had a few okay trades early on and was very pleasantly surprised to be able to go green with England 4 down. I then had a frivolous extra tickle on England at 6.4 when 8 down, as Rashid is actually quite a plausible batsman and Ball by no means awful. Yesterday was a very decent day for me, in fact, except that my several lays of Harry Kane for the golden boot look rather at risk.

in the last year (27 matches) he has 801 runs at an average of 61 and strike rate of 115. they're can't be 5 players with a record anything like that let alone 15

it's farcical he's so lowly ranked. he's being downgraded by england's top 4 also being absolutely stellar. says it all that yday the first time he'd batted more than 100 balls. unless we have one of our spectacular collapses he's rarely coming in before the last 20 overs

Yeah that does sound like a great record. Do we know what factors ICC considers? I know the quality of the opposition is a factor. Don't know who he has played but 10 of those should be against aus?

To hell with the rankings though. He's a great player and i am glad he has performed in a tight game instead of just spanking the ball around and failing when under pressure like most of the rest.

They aren’t as clear on the ODI ratings as tests. They do say they account for SR but I can’t believe they do so enough as Jos is GOAT on SR and yet never troubles the top 10 despite also having a very decent average. They correct for quality of opposition bowlers as measured by their own ratings (clearly poor for Aus this series) and for how good the pitch is, as judged by total runs scored in the game. There isn’t much of a not out bonus, certainly when setting and possible when chasing too, unlike in averages. They must over rate total weight of runs, which you can sort of see but no way on earth Root is a better ODI batsman than Jos. He’s not even close to being close, for me.

I haven’t actually run the numbers for England’s other ODI batsmen in the last year but they’ll mostly be absurd too.  Interestingly, Root and Bairstow are both above Jos and Roy a little below. Missing games hurts your rating a bit so none of the top 3 will be as high as they ought to be if they’d played solidly for the last couple of years.

yeah bairstow's record in the last year which has gone under the radar a bit is absolutely amazing

having a quick look at the figures the top 5 in terms of average and strike rate are clearly kohli, sharma, dhawan, bairstow and buttler. all average above 55 (kohli 96!) with a strike rate of around 100 or more
