never going to be draw not in this life time... i fancy WI here as narine will destroy NZ at the end... and talking of spin bowlers, whats happend to bishoo? i liked him... is that him now never getting a sniff because of narine?
WI still got a lot to do to justify their current price of 2.8
Looks a limited risk lay to me - going to drift quickly if NZ get any kind of score together, to win they need to bat past NZ and the draw will take a lot of the slack.

Wagner is meant to be a decent bowler. they have been waiting for him to qualify for years.
The Kiwis still have Vettori to comethe worlds best number 8 batsmanAnything above 350 will be a test for WI imoWagner is meant to be a decent bowler. they have been waiting for him to qualify for years.
Personally I'd be low on that, but let's say they get there mid way through the day - how is it priced then?
6.0 WI 3.0 NZ 2.0 Draw
Still a WI layer here - they have a lot to do win this test match
Spreads give NZ 370.Personally I'd be low on that, but let's say they get there mid way through the day - how is it priced then?6.0 WI3.0 NZ2.0 DrawStill a WI layer here - they have a lot to do win this test match
Pretty grim viewing but NZ under no obligation here.
They don't win many games - first target will be not to lose.
If the pitch does deteriorate fast nothing wrong with batting long and slow first up.

only really this partnership left for nz. Only Bracewell and Martin to come, with the latter being an awful bat. Vettori is obviously a class act, but one more wicket and NZ may even struggle for 310.

Got on NZ at seven down at 3.9. Surprised to them with 339 at 4.1. I think people tend to think if the tail can whack it gayle and co are going to have a field day. That doesnt always work. These are extremely valuable runs.

NZ in the game with this 1st innings score already - pitch playing up already - not saying NZ will win but they will trade lower than 4 imo.
Poor prediction
Need a famous calypso collapso here

Relatively free draw lay here today I think. Two options are WI bat all day rack up a big score: WI odds go in - draw stays pretty level WI collapse: WI odds go out, draw odds go out, NZ odds in.
What do you think?

My thought was that if the Windies bat all day they will have a decent chance of winning by an innings. If they don't manage to bat all day the draw odds will go out. Didn't factor in the rain though...

by my reckoning Gayle will finish the day on 334. strange calculation given his record is 333. I might have shot a bit high though as he might not get as much of the strike as i predicted i suppose!
The other question is when will New Zealand ever get a wicket?!

don't expect the draw / Windies to do much until the Kiwis start their second innings , looks like the Windies will only need to bat once here , innings defeat on the cards for me

Kiwi's probably gonna avoid an innings defeat now after Samuels and Chanders go soon after tea but I agree with the market it only marginally hurt Windies chances!

OK. 91 runs ahead and four wickets still intact. Deonarine looks very useful, having hit a six and five fours, so presumably they'll bat till lunch and then put NZ in...

These tail enders want to be knocking it around big time. Try and get some 4s and 6s and if you get out. then you get out. Reckon they need four sessions at least to bowl NZ out...

looks like they will have more than 4 sessions. no way sammy and co bat till tea. i layed windies from the start and topped up twice windies openers made me look silly. hopefully england can do the business for me next week with another struggle against the saffers.

Shifted my Red from Draw onto Windies after watching Narine, hate to do this as I know Kiwi's can disintegrate anytime and the Windies are 30+ ticks higher then when I did it!
