Chanderpaul is such a selfish player, his boys need 42 with 6 wickets
and he is defending to keep his not out status in tact, the boy needs a slap or made to retire and let a real man come in and finish the weak Kiwi's off and let me count my dollar bills. |

Fuzzer - draw traded at 100+ so I would say those who backed it and layed at 4s have done quite well.

By:
what fun this was one was. Came out several hundred pounds worse off but enjoyed the movement and tussle with the weather - more than made up for it on the ENG v SA game by backing the draw at the start

karl - defence is EXACTLY what the WI needed - without SC in the side a few wickets could have gone early today and might have been an NZ win - that's how key he is.
|
|
By:
They weathered the initial storm, Roach made the runs needed to take the pressure off and still now with only 11 needed, SC is still blocking and only driving defensively- Does ne still need to defend and what is the purpose - To protect his strike rate and average ...That is very selfish to me
|
|
By:
If they had defended, I have seen the WI collapse previously, they needed to be pro active in acquiring the runs
|
|
By:
that's Shiv's style and with all the kamikaze batsmen around him it's sensible.
|
|
By:
6 needed with 5 wickets remaining and he still is leaving and blocking. This is against the worst bowling attck I have ever seen after the Bangladeshis

Am I not allowed to have a say now without your permission King Max, I take it you finished with the carrot

nice result for me in that test , that hurricane panic suited my sort of trades to a tee ...I wish every test match had the threat of a hurricane !!
![]() I literally watched the draw contract from 25.0's to 4.8 in front of my very eyes in the space of less than about 3 minutes ...sunday morning at about 9.35 am GMT, never seen a 'post stumps/not in-play' weather crash like that ![]() was insane ![]() |

By:
Nicky - was it triggered by large block trades or a flurry of small trades? Where were the bookies prices at the time? I imagine there were some tasty arbs to be had.

By:
So did the storm come through after play finished? How long after play ended? Was it as hard as expected?

By:
Nige ....just many backs of the draw in a short space of time , smashed off the board...windies drifted from 1.15ish to 1.4x at the time of the crash
Baldies were going 28 to 1, 365 were also 28's(but suspended pretty quick), laddies were 16's , bills were going 10's, sky the same... don't even know if ernesto did hit after all , anyone know ? |

I looked at the webcam link at about 8pm UK time and people were still in the swimming pool and there was no rain.

My countries local bookie didn't change the odds from $25 for about an hour! Could've arbed it big time! Wasn't 100% sure if my bet would stand though so sat on the miracle. Would love to know what weather did end up coming for future reference. About now the storm should be in full effect! The outfield near the boundaries looked very soft yesterday.
