Very little time up my sleeve at the moment. Only turn up when things matter and big chance to put some coin in the pocket....
Decent day, just looking to put a cherry or 2 on top... |

By:
out
|
|
By:
87 stokes out
 |
|
By:
And of course, cherries taken off, and half the cake there. ffs. Was only looking for a couple of extra ticks.

2 wickets away from tailenders

trying to get a feel for the draw price with england chasing something impossible in 5 sessions.
let's not worry about the slim risk of rain on Monday morning. I'm thinking Aus 1.4 |
|
By:
after the early lay of england this game has been too slow marketwise, other than the aussie spike last night
|

Is Cook too good to walk in with Butler????
|
|
By:
I think Warnes wrong. If England are all out by tea or just after, I think they will enforce the follow on. Not doing so makes this a nailed on draw imo
|
|
By:
clarke does love a daring declaration though
|
|
By:
Looking at ~80 overs bowled. Follow on won't happen in that scenario. Bowlers will be rested.

wot do the english and aussies have in common?
ans) both have totally sh1t bookmakers. just tried to place a bet with luxbet and got offered £23 at 1.7. |
|
By:
English own all the Aus bookmakers..
|
|
By:
what is the 1.7 for?
|
|
By:
innings runs bet.
|
|
By:
What happened to cricket bet live bookmaker. Is it still around?
|
|
By:
Luxbet is Australian owned by Tabcorp. Crownbet is Australian. Sportsbet is Irish owned. So not all Aussie firms are British owned. Do any of the Aussie owned firms take a bet? I don't remember Tom Waterhouse being too keen to take bets before Hills got it.

everyone says marshall.
he was f*cking frightening. |
|
By:
Yawn.....
|
|
By:
that was a catch
|
|
By:
that should have stayed with umpires call
|
|
By:
One of the commentators dismissed the possibility of a follow-on enforcement a few minutes ago. Anyone suggest why it's assumed Aus wouldn't? It seems the safest bet to avoid a draw, especially with weather risks.
|
|
By:
number of reasons:
the biggest one is probably that wickets will be easiest to come by on day 5, scoring 250 off 40 in the evening of day 3 and the morning of day 4 to set up a declaration and bat england out of the game is easier than trying to score 150 off 40 on day 5 on a wearing pitch to win the match and potentially avoid defeat. |
|
By:
Buttler just ain't cutting it in the test side
|
|
By:
2 balls ago managed to back Aus (to lock in 500 loss for the day) and at the same time lay the draw for 2 grand. Puts me about even for the day if I trade out now....
Hmmmm  |
|
By:
ur lot are gonna win..sit back
|
|
By:
VWD of course but the Australasian to walk when out even though would have taken a review to get him....
 |
|
By:
aus backers must have been getting a little twitchy there were they? butler gave it away tho
|
|
By:
Should be dropped after walking then. No way that would have been given out by the 3rd. Disgraceful
|
|
By:
He was out so he walked off.
It's called integrity. |
|
By:
Probably will be dropped. Broad to be still playing obviously has big pull in selection.
|
|
By:
U think he will be dropped because he admitted he was out? da ****

i like the fact that buttler walks, but it's so much less of an issue with drs, that i'm surprised we haven't seen more walkers spring up.
when there was no review system, i accept that it never made sense to walk, effectively you were exposing yourself to all the bad umpiring decisions not going your way with none of the bad ones going your way, so you were kneecapping yourself. but with DRS what's the point in waiting around when you know that a review will show that you hit it. |
|
By:
Can't agree. If you know you are out, you walk. Simple.
|
|
By:
so long as the bowlers don't appeal when they know it's not out.....

Thanks DS.
I still think the slight weather risk makes a F/O a sensible choice. England could easily collapse in their second dig with their current mindset. BJT - in your scenario I'd maybe scale out and reduce a proportion of my loss. Then if the odds slowly move back to where they were put the same position back on and trade out again on the next wicket. I get the feeling Aus odds won't go much lower then 1.25 even if Eng get all out so maybe there's also short-term trading lay with limited downside. |
