exactly nicky - I'm hacking into it.
|
|
By:
in terms of the match australia going well here IMHO - patience when they needed it and starting to pick it up
|
|
By:
how much r u into it nige ??
|
|
By:
what's defendable on here?
|
|
By:
who knows, in these conditions 200 might be enough
|
|
By:
nicky - there's always a risk someone knows more than you - especially with the weather but as you say it's likely someone who backed above 2 is laying off or it's a pure speculative lay based on weather changing - not impossible so a reasonable position but it's not free money

By:
boom !! watson gone
|
|
By:
that definitely puts the odds back to ENG strongly
|
|
By:
i got me eye on the radar
www.raintoday.co.uk there is a system creeping up the eastern coast , but hopefully won't reach as high as durham |
|
By:
I needed that wicket as much as Aus didn't! was starting to worry what that partnership could do! Now Aus wil probably go into their shell for the next 8 overs!
|
|
By:
yeah, just not enough to cause a problem either remembering that only 20 overs will need to be batted by ENG
|
|
By:
Cardinal - always the risk with backing early on - I wouldn't back ENG here at 1.43 - too much risk if a partnership get going
|
|
By:
Obviously the weather can change in an instant but its pretty nice weather up here and doesn't look like changing.
|
|
By:
charles - weather can't really change that quickly per the radar - the risk is higher when there is a lot of rain around the vicinity - no risk of that today
|
|
By:
Yeah i know, was just letting you know that it's pretty nice weather for the north east for once and re-assuring you.
|
|
By:
thanks mate! ;-)

By:
appreciate the local knowledge

By:
gawn , bailey !!

By:
Woeful from Australia why not break these players in a bit don't understand why they were so quick to remove Ponting and where is Michael Hussey??
|
|
By:
review that
|

By:
going down leg
|
|
By:
Maybe i should switch the telly off and not watch. Missed the first 2 wickets after popping to the shop, missed the 3rd wicket in the shower and just missed the last wicket having a smoke.
Got a nice green on England now. |
|
By:
hitting leg , but not enough off leg to reverse the decision

By:
mike hussey's wife has given birth very prematurely so understandably he's giving this tour a miss
|
|
By:
need to be up to 100 at the 30th at least

#we now know with relatively certainty that Australia will come in it around 150-10, certainly no more and there is even a good chance they could capitulate completely. Yet all the 1.35-1.36 to back you could possibly want available. I don't get that.
Under what circumstances will England ever be over 1.4 ever again in this game? Surely this is 1.1 territory even on a pitch that is turning, not to even mention the weather which could still play a part |
|
By:
that was meant to read 150-170 not 150-10
|
|
By:
with these blind umpires you've got to have more than one review per team
|
|
By:
Two things :
1) AUS could easily still get 200 from here 2) 170 might be defendable |
|
By:
simple answer IMHO give them 2 reviews and if they get the call right give them an extra review
|
|
By:
that's a bit silly i think.
so if they get 3 reviews right and none wrong then they will have 5 reviews to use? just give them 2 or 3 |
|
By:
No - limited to 2
|
|
By:
what do you mean by giving them an extra review if they get the call right then?
|
|
By:
simple, start with 2.. say they get a call wrong they go to 1... then if they get the call right they get an extra to 2.. then they get another call right but it stays a at 2.
So, always limited to 2 but an extra if they get it right and have less than 2. |
|
By:
I think we saw enough in the half hour or so that Clarke ans Watson were set to see that shots can be played here today. I just think England are the better side pure and simple and Australia are making a meal of this.
Anyway the run rate is going back backwards not the other way last 5 overs 0-1-3-2-2 |
|
By:
worst than a test match in run rate
|
|
By:
they can ramp it up quite easily. I wouldn't be hasty to assume anything
|
|
By:
from no review to 2 review per innings is more than good. And it should be limited to 2 at max or IMO reduce to 1 at max.
