I respect the BJTs opinion, hes the alpha males

I think if there is 5 days play, they probably get it done. Completely depends on mental fatigue of England being in the field with zero hope for so long, waiting for Aus to dangle them a carrot.

By:

BJT When: 17 Jul 15 12:43

In saying that, I am watching the footy so only probably seen 50% of the play over the 2 days...

Yeah. On North to beat them. Half decent result on the line.... But plenty of green room...

By:

BJT When: 17 Jul 15 12:49

Have Bombers at 8.847 to win from here....

Draw will panic and go odds on at some point later with this in mind imo. These markets are so predictable

i don't have implicit faith in eng as to how they will approach things
in this scenario they need to play for the draw a la boycott,tavare,athers
forget the macho stuff..we don't need quick runs..cook has to anchor the inns twice..slowly,slowly catch a monkey

Are you making loads?

By:

BJT When: 17 Jul 15 13:13

Bit tricky with the phone in. Miss most of the good deals. Make about 620 on this game. Nothing to write home about but taking a slow and steady approach this year. Got a wife, 3 kids and a mortgage to try and cover now. Bit different to the glory days of 3+ years ago when life was a party and money was a non issue...

Expect Aus to have a dash now and declare 30 minutes before tea.
Staying out of the market still but might go for a draw lay should it go odds on.
Off for a bit of gardening, will have another look later.

Hmm. I can quote the first part of what you said, without seeing it?

All I get is "mental variables can play havoc on strat..."

So yes. The whole show is mental. Life is the same. Never underestimate the power of the mind. When you stress about needing something, it is fcuking hard. When you know that you can make it just by turning up, is amazing how easy the game is.

Back in the single days, I used to work about 3 days a week. The rest of the week I was on it. In fact, was on it most of the time I was "working" too.
Last year, I worked nearly every day trying to cover expenses and drink about 30% as much. Also made about 30% as much last year.

This year, things started turning back. Now working about 3 days a week again, and well and truly made already this year what I made last year.

Amazing how badly 1 bad day can affect you. Started doing this in 2004, full time March 2005, and even now, a bad day can make you question what the fcuk you are doing.

As easy as this game sometimes seems, nobody can really ever say it is easy. At least I can't.

BJT When: 17 Jul 15 13:39

Aussies out in plenty of time. Might be a hint of things to come. Up the scoring, get ready to declare 5-10 overs after tea IMO

By:

DStyle When: 17 Jul 15 13:47

england are f*cked.

starc and hazlewood.

By:

DStyle When: 17 Jul 15 13:49

wicket is quicker and it is nibbling about even with a ball that almost 40 overs old.

if you put the ball in the right place here, consistently, it's not a 550/600 wicket. broad and wood have showed that this morning.

By:

BJT When: 17 Jul 15 13:49

Haven't looked at the rankings, but Starc has to be the best bowler in the world without question. Just unfortunate for him that Johnson beat him into the team as a left quick, as he would be well established by now.

Agreed. Bowling has been below par on the whole.

came out of the aussie lay..laid the draw again

By:

BJT When: 17 Jul 15 13:54

Laid the draw? Surely the draw can't move until Aus declare and Eng lose wickets? Seems a long way away to be putting in a lay now...

By:

DStyle When: 17 Jul 15 13:55

not too sure there's prices are going anyway quickly until after tea.

By:

what score do u think the aussies want? 550/600 or midwayish

By:

johnnythebull When: 17 Jul 15 13:58

just got a bad feeling about the eng reply..my crystal ball is seeing wkts going down

By:

BJT When: 17 Jul 15 13:58

Yeah exactly. Seems like this innings is pretty much decided. Will be about 550-600 regardless of wickets, and 20-25 overs bowling at England tonight.

Not much can really change that short of England going through the Aus batting order and bowling them out quickly, which seems very unlikely.

By:

DStyle When: 17 Jul 15 13:58

i think it's a time thing now.

there's no way they'll let the openers prepare over tea, they'll want them in the field for as long as possible, but still want to have a reasonable crack, say 10 to 14 overs, tonight.

pootle along to 500 ish by about 3:15, then start to have a slog. i think England will be looking at about 625.

So lay them then. Not now. ???
