all those things you mentioned combined may make it a 1.03 shot at best... 1.20 is MASSIVE.

1/33!!! eh?  SA can definitely bat 90 overs if they have to.  That alone is probably 1/10.

Rain - who knows? but say 1/10 again

and you are at the current price.

I live in the Adelaide environs, and rain will not be a factor today.

no you aren't, you're at 1.25

anyhoo, 1/10 for south africa to see the day out is far too big. i'd make them 1/10 if they see out a session unscathed. there's not a chance in hell the bottom four can survive more than 30 overs between them, particularly given that fat jacques wont be able to protect them from the strike because he can't run.

it's just a classically nervous book, and if my sleeping pattern wasn't off, i'd be quite happy to leave a lump on without watching; given i'll be up, and it may go shorter i'll be biding my time.

Folks, here's a good advice if ever there was one: LUMP your house, and wife/girlfriend on Australia at 1.2 This is absolutely the definition of FREE MONEY






Is this money as FREE as it was with your last tip?


Queen_Dulu 23 Nov 12 07:53 
LOL! India should be 1.33 by now! England won't score 100 on this pitch against 3 spinners. The market is broken folks! LUMP on India at 1.70 here. It's absolutely FREE MONEY!

Clear skies and expected to get full days play if required

Fill your boots time on this 1.2 Aus price. Saffers need these two and Kallis to bat all day. Looks as if any rain is skirting south.

these two making collingwood's rearguard knocks look like a bolt 100m sprint

maiden

maiden

maiden

17 off 12 over

maiden

Current partnership 49 runs, 42 overs

maiden 5 in a row

maiden 6

  2 run

it's not hard to see why some people find test cricket boring.

After 7 overs SA had 35 runs
After 65 overs SA have 94 runs

lol  not out.

not out  review #2

billy

fancy safrica v strongly to defend and get a draw...the aus bowling is garbageish and no patterson as well...well to me i can see these 2 going for another 30 overs+

both well set and the aus bowlers will tire

104/4 (69 ov)

71 overs left but these 2 have already batted for nearly 48 overs already !!!!

44444444444444444444

where's the wicket coming from???? clarke

de Villiers SR is 13!

Boycott would love this.

both batting beautifully

No chance of draw. Eventually one of these two will get out, then it's all over. Agree, They do miss Pattinson though - best quick by far.

no chance of draw you having a laugh it will soon be evens

maiden

maiden 2

maiden 3  ...nearly jeff.  lol

batted 25 overs already this session....another 25 not out the draw will be 1.4

lol...

1 run

a fearsome bowling attack from australia

There's every chance of a draw, these 2 look like they can bat forever.

Still got Kallis to come in too. I know he's injured but that only restricts his running and i doubt SA will be doing too much of that anyway. Block block leave block leave block.

if someone put a gun to my head now i'd go with the draw rather than an aus win....just think these 2 are so dogged and technically good while the aus bowling isn;t doing much

New ball due now.  Decisive moment.  Could be over soon.

Could be over soon. For Aus????

New ball usually brings wickets.

this is aus bowling

Hilfy and Siddle more than capable.  On the other hand if Saffers survive 10-15 more overs they're in control.

Current partnership 77 runs, 60 overs

Will be amusing if a little costly for me if Saffers pull this off.  Ages to go yet though.

Birchy can oz bowl more than 90 overs today or is it they can only bowl 90

More if there's time.

will need to score nearly 6 an over for 2 sessions or 150 runs per session with 6 wkts left on a 5th day pitch

like to see halfenhoos given a proper spell first up here.

feel he needs a few overs to find his line and rhythm and could get one of them nicking off.

Saffers getting into a position where they have a genuine chance to save this now 

So much for filling your boots at 1.2 on Aus 

And there it is.

Here we go.. only an injured Kallis to get through now.

not at all happy with these 2 over spells hooflinghuis has been getting.

and that he's bowling round the wicket.

surely just five or six overs bowling just outside the off stump.

WELL DONE DRAW BACKERS.WHY ALL GUYS ON FORUM GONE QUIET???????????????????

Can some1 advise how many overs remaining for the day ?

just less than 1 hour to go

Is it depend on time or overs ?

12

Ya . just saw that .. cricinfo has revised the # of overs to 12 . now its 11  .

I think only a horribly mistimed declaration can prevent a draw now.

Its not overs its minutes and they have about 45 left

Yup . They have already played 87 overs ...

GONE

WHAT A GREAT TRADING OPPORTUNITIES THEY R PROVIDING

ouch!  Several naive posts

GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Two to get in 12 mins.  Come on aus.

DONT WORRY THEY R JUST STOPPING TO BACK DRAW

Siddle nearly dead

lol nigel.

i. careful calling people naive when your maths was wrong

ii. just because i priced it up low, and my favourite prediction didn't occur, it doesn't make me naive or even necessarily wrong. 

but well done if you made a tidy profit here.

unfortunately the crux of today came down to hilfenhaus bowling terribly, but that's the way it goes.

Last over

SAF need 190 runs to win

Maybe another, no pics here but that over was super quick on cricinfo updates.

Should be last

SA to survive 90 overs isn't that demanding.  That was my base point.

you made it 1/10?

that's pretty demanding isn't it?

fair point.  Anyhow, it's over now.

Need to keep bowling no balls now and hope for a run out.

i'd say it was a pretty special knock from du plessis, a hugely unexpected knock in fact, and VERY ordinary bowling from hilfenhaus, when more was needed.

just needed to bowl at the stumps/ 4th stump.

Well it's all heroics and fighting spirit and so on from Siddle now but at the end of the day that's a poor effort from Australia no matter how well SA batted.

i'm not sure it was a poor all round effort.

the wicket never really went.
they were down to three bowlers.
du plessis was rock solid.
siddle busted a gut and did what he can do best.
lyon is just a little bit limited but kept chugging away.


but when you've got three main bowlers, that was appalling from hilfenhaus. i'd be embarrassed to look siddle in the face if i were him. some of that round the wicket short stuff with a newish ball was shocking thinking.

SA are probably the best defensive side in the world - a great defensive knock IMHO.

Featherbed pitch. Well played SA.

Both sides need bowling reinforcements for Perth.

Gritty knock from Du Plessis.

That really was a disgraceful effort from Hilfenhaus though. Real shame Pattinson got injured, probably cost them the victory in the end.

Wow what a test, Thats why trading tests are so good, so many swings. Well done draw backers, I couldnt see it tho I did cover that position. Faf was outstanding. Aus really really really missed Patto. Siddle big heart. Hilfy no good but I wouldnt have played in either test.

Aus definitely missed Pattinson - pitch didn't do as much 5th day as expected, might have been good batting and tired bowlers. Got to get Starc in shirley.

Starc will surely play instead of Pattinson but who else...would prefer Harris to Hilfy next test but not sure if he is fit...I can hardly say it but even Mitchell Johnson has been bowling well lately.

Glad I stayed out of this one.  My nerves would have been shot to ****.  I suspect many people lost a lot of money and a few smart and lucky guys made a killing, well done if you did.

Hope they play Mitchell Johnson against SL, bound to pick up wickets and smash some late order runs.  Then hopefully he will get picked for the Ashes.

cant see Mitch playing in the ashes. He's piss weak mentally. will fall apart with 10000 eng fans
singing his song..

Which one?

His mother hates his girlfriend,
His girlfriend hates his mother
They all hate one another
Mitchells Johnson's family

Or is there another one, possibly reaching its peak Sydney 2011?

battleoz i told you it would be a draw

Haha sure did footiefan. Test Cricket is a crazy game. Well done.

Siddle just did a presser on fsn, he is 100% to play. Reading between the lines in seems Hilfy will get another game as well, which imho seems crazy. Looks a battle between Starc and Johnson for the other pacemen spot. Although with Clarke and Warner bowling ok would the selectors be tempted to leave out Lyon, for Hastings who can bat a bit???? Doubtful, especially as we have Watto back who will take some overs.

test

Correct.
