Now the England game is won, my attention turns to what should be a fascinating match full of great trading opportunities. Whilst Australia start as firm favourites, both bowling attacks should be capable of taking quick wickets. Potential showers are forecast so seems there will be rain intervals although I'm not convinced there'll be too much play lost to rain. Pitch reports aren't too descriptive but suggest this will be a result wicket.
I want to back Australia but the starting price of 1.7 isn't attractive as I think the Windies could be competitive (if only for parts of the match). I'm expecting the Australian price to reach at least 2.5 at some point over the first 3 days so I'll wait for that moment - if it comes.
What do people think? Any thoughts about the pitch?

what a match.

. Completely enthralling though

37 needed off max 7, but realistically 4 overs may be
This is **** with no picks. It's cost me 2,250 to lock in almost 7,000 on the draw. 10,000+ for Aussie win.
It was giving me palpaations watching the prices jumping around and not being able to watch it.

still dont understand why they are not bowling bouncers and down leg side or do they think they can win????
For fecks sake Hussey, cudn't you have done that two minutes ago?
Between the comments of Aussies cruising, and the ones saying they're playing with lamps on their helmets, reading the forum is really no way to assess your bet 
there are no signs of light becoming an issue within 20 mins.
All that talk about sun setting immediately..i dont see that happening here as of now..
lol
umps might get pissed off by this and keep them out

if OZ can get within 10sharpish then the umps won't take them off. Reckon umps are clued in on the time wasting
didn't see any light meters being brandished either...
conditions perfect for cricket, no hint of bad light.
this would be described as time wasting by the batsman if it was KP batting
will be running on every ball soon, windies very slack in the field aussies home and hosed
unless a very large cloud passes by this must be over
Hhaha theirs the d1ck who was urging the Windies to declare in the first innings, must feel like a right grade A now.
a wicket, another 5 minute delay for that and batsman not used to light is windies only hope now.
the light is hardly Karachi 1990 when England were chasing...
it gets dark very quick!!!!
can anyone tell ive layed oz
can anyone tell ive layed oz
probably farer then as the fielding side can dictate now as its the umpires call eh
15 off 13 balls or 7 balls is the question? cannot see 19 balls anymore
near the end of the over, bad time for a wicket to fall
cost you a min or 2
cost you a min or 2

I think that Australia will view the last session [min 20 overs] as a 20:20 format.How often do you see a side failing to score 131 runs in 20 overs ? I think that we will see at least 25 overs after tea and that will mean GSM to Australia.I am sure they are also anticipating the windies to be deflated and tired as they are ground into the dust.

CRAP Windies..after all the hard work you have squandered it by bowling spin in last session..CRAP CRAP CRAP
3 good yorkers now for the WI comedy green to come in.
hussey innings swung it. without that and any cloud we had first 4 days and its draw.
unbelievable test match as per usual with windies. for such crapola outfit, how many unbelievable scenes and trading days do they give us.

sammy lost that bowling the spinner in the last 10 overs
Oh well, cost me 2,500 to get 10 grand, but better than having a heart attack. Damn market had reached 1.50 for the draw when I bailed out.
Funny Enough the light held out the best today in all the 5 days...and above all that horse **** of a captain..Sammy...I am laying that buggers team for the next match again..!!!
aussies are never 14s after 3 days of test cricket especially against windies 
A big thanks to SY for his opinions when my brain went into reverse Hope you laid the draw big SY at 1.25 ish 
Hope you laid the draw big SY at 1.25 ish
I made a profit of £0.04p on this game and I'm happy with that to be truthful!
