WI run rate doing draw backers no favours here
|
|
By:
agree with the need runs comment 2 runs an over aint gonna get the job done here think Oz would go for something like 200 off 50
|
|
By:
draw terrible value imo at mo, a few early aussie wkts will be interesting
 |
|
By:
alredy 2.16 from 2.5, layed. bye bye
|
|
By:
yeah i also think its just right...another session some how by windies and this match is drawn
|
|
By:
windies need to bat another 40 overs wouldnt take 2.2 on that
|
|
By:
The issue is the time in that WI get another 75/100 runs by tomorrow lunch. Aussie's won't go kamakaze and lose.
|
|
By:
no way will oz try for 200 off 50 - too risky IMHO
|
|
By:
Apparently we can't play after 5.30 so with the shadows lengthening, this is the final over of the day...
|
|
By:
how do you know that nigel? aussie were 14s at start of play with most posters saying no chance
 |
|
By:
No chance the darw is a certy if windies make it to lunch will have a lead of 220-250 max with 60 overs left in the day. Aussies attempt to chase that down every day of the week, windies need to either up their runrate dramatically or bat for at least a session and a half tomorrow.
|
|
By:
good call steptoe
|
|
By:
the issue is runs to overs left for OZ
if windies bat till lunch and only put another 70 runs on the board then fancy OZ to get them |
|
By:
agreed dougy
|
|
By:
dougy - not on this pitch
|
|
By:
Another session would give windies a lead 180-200 leaving Aus about 55-60 overs to get them?
Wouldn't they go for it I think the windies get Bowled out anyway but the draw bet is a weather bet as I said earlier Windies stinking value here IMO |
|
By:
looked out to me, height the only possible issue imo
|
|
By:
nigel your talking nonsense they will attempt to chase anything under 5.5 an over
|
|
By:
jesus the windies and draw backers got lucky there, would've been gsm if given out
|
|
By:
haven't Australia used both their reviews?
|
|
By:
And they will probably be chasing something under 4 an over
|
|
By:
If the Aussies go too defensive they could get bowled out
|
|
By:
think 5.5 a little high Dougy but agree anything around 4 - 4.5 they go for it
|
|
By:
yes cricinfo agrees with me
|
|
By:
5.5 dougy you are having a laugh e.g 275/50
 what you think this is one day pitch |
|
By:
Australia 2.08 the draw 2.08
 |
|
By:
I'm not saying they get it peter, with warner up fron there is no doubt given the arrogant nature of this aussie team that they go for it, and it would more likely be 220 in 40 that they'd have a pop at.
|
|
By:
if aus are smashing them everywhere cant see west indies racing through the overs.
|
|
By:
I think Nigel and Peter might be on the wind up dougy
Joined a very similar time  |
|
By:
closer to you d13 than him
|
|
By:
Shocked at how ineffective the WIndies spinners have been on this pitch: Bishoo 1-125 and Deonarine 0-36
|
|
By:
Not a wind up chaps. Market has runs at 200 which would give WI a 250 ish lead - it will take too long to score that many
|
|
By:
is their a cut off time 2moz or do 90 overs have to be bowled?????
|
|
By:
aussies will chase ANYTHING. clarkey didnt declare his first innings so that they can play a draw....his intentions pretty clear.
|
|
By:
heavy showers to the east moving in but early days
|
|
By:
looks like thundershows from the reflective base density
|
|
By:
can i have the link to the forecast please
|
|
By:
sorry MC i am reluctant to post my resources in an open forum as has taken me much time and effort and money to gather of the past 10 years or so
|
|
By:
ok no prob, so u goin draw then?????
|
|
By:
92overs to be played tommorow less 2overs for change over of inninngs so will be 90overs to be played.
currently they lead by 114runs, I see the west indies doubling their score to lets say 150, however at the rate they have been going adding 80runs will eat up 40overs. That would mean the aussies having 50overs to chases 195 or more. I think clarke will then not take the risk of losing this even when they where flying earlier in week run rate wasnt above 3runs an over. yeah its possible to chase at 4 runs an over, but its not advisable on this pitch. |
