india.s.lanka

he might have dropped the match there should have taken that

Gambhir counting his lives here

Gambhir counting his lives here

if 1 of these bats through they should do it easy.

poor bowling

They have been really lucky India

nah Sri Lanka should have these wickets India have been very lucky

2 caught and bowled opportunities not taken

Crap bowling half volley outside off stump

Wow India have been lucky they don't deserve this Sri Lanka had no luck

zainil did back india ??

ya backed ind at 1.78

good

well he deserved to go ages ago

still piss this

again backin ind

lay in 24

need wkt to change the game

lay at 28

dhoni lucky the other day, messed it up this time, sri lanka win nap

wkt wkt wkt

there not in much of a rush are they.

run rate nearly at 8 an over now.  Dhoni is good at accelerating near the end as he's shown plenty of times but if he goes then this is game over.

they need a big over soon

yesssssssss

Don't think that wicket changes much, Pathan and Ashwin can both bat. As long as Dhoni's there they have a chance.

Jadeja down.

at least it wasn't dhoni but big blow for India all the same.  they really need to start pushing now

Just 8 runs off the last 4 overs, got to get a move on here

lay here again

irfan is key today

6666666666666

Dhoni was amazing against Aus, I wouldn't count India out until he's gone

why perrera

you don't bowl like that at the death half volley

back back

wtf? drop

Possibly the worst attempted catch by a wicket keeper i've ever seen

I can't believe it what are they doing that was the match

stage is set for Dhoni, big finish coming up

No super overs yeah?  Tie is a result?

I think this is beyond even Dhoni

NO BALL 666666666666666!!!!

india go from 3.3 to 1.6 in one ball

Matthews.  Oh dear.

India.  Oh dear.

lol..  This game is just ridiculous.

haha, awesome. Irfan takes the bullet, nice little cameo there

Cricket does WTA.

terrible stuff Angelo

Dhoni to the rescue!!!

I've traded this match badly

9 off 6 required

Tie is a result yeah?  No extra super overs or anything?

Is this guy trying to bowl full tosses or is it an attempted yorker gone very very wrong?

Mathews cant handle the pressure, not a good sign for a future captain

6 from 4. Dhoni off strike.

one shot required, india good value here surely?

Tie please - void my bets

dhoni on strike, 3 chances to finish it

ooh, so unlucky malinga :(

Run out. 4 from 1.  Dhoni on strike.

out

mathews makes up for his awful final over

TIE!!!!

would have been a wide !!

no-one was quick enough to get on the tied match market. awesome finish, another good one-dayer

One short would have been highly amusing.

What an unbelievable game of cricket. Had just about everything.

£749.12 green both sided. no tie insurence...

what a stupid rule

Hate the Tie...when you're all green

very poor inngs by dhoni again

It;s not a stupid rule. It's much worse than that.

Surely it was a wide anyway

Can't imagine BF will be too happy either, Matched: GBP 15,978,915

I was wrapped with the tie!  Red on both sides, AND red on both sides on ****! hahahahahahahaha

lol 3/4 million worth of commission there refunding...

It was probably a wide if he didn't hit it, but was close so wouldn't necessarily have been given

save me typing it

the reason betfair have this rule is coz the big players wanted it, stupid rule

So the 30th over only had 5 balls...that would've made the difference in the result.

Should be a 1/2 run handicap market - save this nonsense

no reason not to have a dead heat.

I agree, it is a darn stupid rule, but I somehow got all red in that match, so to see the most unlikly event of a 3 being scored off the last ball was good for me. I had all green on a tied match before and got nowt, it is a very very very silly rule.

its bad luck for me huge green both side

BF's rule is a lot fairer than that of the Bookmakers who don't quote the tie, but still settle as a dead heat.

whats wrong wiv it being a dead heat?

Just treat the tie as insurance, you can usually get 50-1 early in the game.  No brainer imo. Should do it every match.

Used to be.  But the big players demanded a seperate tie market from what I hear, and it became that way due to that.
This result worked in my favour with a bookie bet paying out half, but still, 15 mil traded over 9 hours to be declared void?  Just seems like it will piss a lot more people off than taking the tie market.  Each to their own.  Not like we don't know it is this way.  We choose to not bet the tie, that is on us.

dhoni, motm

Bookies offer dead heat settlement to ensure that they make money out of the game with their margins. BF have to have some concessions to the big players, otherwise there is FA liquidity and we are back to betting with regular bookmakers. Their rules are transparent and while it's unfortunate for some in cases like this, it is still fair.

never forget the world cup match between 1ndia/pakistan was 3k green both sides ended a tie???

how does voiding bets on the tie help the big players anyway?????

why not team a, team b, tie . on one market

Everyone knows the rules and bleats when it's a tie. Lock in your green all ways with a tenner on the tie, it's not hard.

i just want to know how it helps anyone voiding bets

didnt 1 day matches be settled as team losing fewer wkts won if scores were level?

only in the knock out stages of the world cup.

not in group matches or any other odi games

oh and the offical result would still I believe be a Tie in those instances anyway.  similar to a football match decided on penalties.

I have not read the entire thread on here... but why was the 30th over bowled by malinga consist of only 5 balls?????
