There will be some great chocs tomorrow. The draw price will be backable and layable at different times.
I'm in the 'comedy green on England' camp. Tense run chase with the ball exploding through the top will suit me just fine  |
|
By:
i love a comedy green
 if they get a 160 lead what price do we reckon England would hit? |
|
By:
Will depend so much on the time left which will either make the draw a player or the dog.
I think Eng would still be 15 at least. 30-3 and we'll see 5  |
|
By:
60-5 chasing 140 and no Gambhir we see evens
|
|
By:
Turned into a potentially fascinating Day 5.
One thing I'm very sure of is that England will not be 'setting' anything. They will get bowled out or bat all day. Why set India 160 off 40 out of choice and let Sewage knock them off with his co@k? Grind the Indian bowlers into the dirt will the option if it comes to it. It's a series - think how Brisbane changed the series against the Aussies. |

Have decided to stay in bed tomorrow a.m. and write this one off to experience lose a few quid and live to fight another day.
Laying @ 1.58 too brave for me. Wicket early on and I'm f#cked. Cowards route for me |
|
By:
laying and a wicket falls early on means India go 1.2
|
|
By:
yeah, the problem here really is it only takes one good ball to break this excellent partnership and it's probably all over. The tail can bat but probably not more than 30 odd overs. Perhaps more importantly India will be upset after today and will be sure to come out fighting tomorrow - hard to see us surviving. Best course of action I feel is back India now and if Prior and Cook are still in come lunch hammer the draw then - clearly prices will have moved but likelihood is they won't both still be in.
|

By:
hmmm... not sure about that plan. sounds a bit like chasing the market which can work in the short term but long term leads to the poorhouse.
Topped up on Eng here at 46s  |

when is the new ball due?
|
|
By:
if you think we arent gonna get the runs then pile into India here. I think we can defend 140 just about. draw will be out with the washing anyway.
India are a big price but will get bigger every over without a wkt. happy to keep topping up as they drift. if eng get bat till tea I'll be amazed and take it on the chin. |

By:
32 overs nigel
|
|
By:
34 overs to new ball so pretty much end of fir
|
|
By:
Sorry, end of first session
|
|
By:
problem with backing eng is that we pretty much need to have india 7 down before the market gives us any hope...
 |
|
By:
cheers - so effectively after lunch - hmm. that could be the turning point at which to pile in on India
|
|
By:
no, i mean eng price will still have massive resistance until we are taking wkts. did you see the india home games with NZ and WI? Asian market refuses to even contimplate india losing at home. when it does finally happen, it'll be at a fkin big price!
|
|
By:
ENG price will come in if we are 150 + up and Cook/Prior still in.
|
|
By:
Cook/Prior totally the key for me and I suspect the market.
|
|
By:
eng will be out with the washing if we are 150 ahead with cook and prior in! Draw will be 1.03
 |
|
By:
lix is right nigel, england backers need england just about all out with lead 150+ not cook and prior still batting. They aint declaring
|
|
By:
there is no way England will score another 150 from here. even if they can bat another 45 overs that will give them a lead of 120-150. India can easily score that off another 45 overs. 1.5 + is massive
|
|
By:
India will be more focussed today after the poor day yesterday. Once this partnership is broken the rest will follow inside 15 overs
|
|
By:
Come on folks, 1.64 is MASSIVE. LUMP on India if you haven't already. You'll never get such free money in test cricket.
|
|
By:
Well, if you paid heed to my advice you'd be greening out now, and going back to bed with a smile!
|
|
By:
impressive timing, wicket a couple of minutes after your post 1.64 down to 1.28.
|
|
By:
England still being backed!
 |
|
By:
rather be on england than the draw at this point.
|
|
By:
chris martin and the kiwis had INdia 5 /15 here two yrs ago. need something similarly outrageous to happen here.
|
|
By:
Call me crazy folks, but here's an advice -- back England at 140, and green out once India are 45/5!
|
|
By:
really think 130+ would be defendable here. great shame eng too poor to find out.
|
|
By:
maybe with finn and panesar lix.
not with fatel and an injured broad. |
|
By:
India are excellent here- really making a statement to set the tone for the series- well worth throwing the bat
I wonder- if roles were reversed- would we have been anywhere near as aggresive I doubt it |
|
By:
now a 6!
lol |
|
By:
If England were chasing 77 they would already be 2 down with only 4 on the board after 4 overs.
|
|
By:
India 48/0 after 6 overs! LOL! England are truly pathetic. They are destroying the integrity of test cricket in the subcontinent.
|
|
By:
England just don't have the ability to play cricket in the subcontinent. Look at how easily Pujara and Sehwag play spinners. They can handle spinners on these slow low turning wickets with their eyes closed. On the other hand, English batsmen seem to overcomplicate things against spin, and treat every pitch like a minefield.
