Cricket
England played 2 Tests here in 2012, and Anderson and Broad took most of the Eng 1st Innings wickets, then Swann and Panesar took the 2nd innings wickets in the second match. Pakistan won both matches.
Cook should make the match closer, but a result seems likely IMO. With Shah back, form says Pak win, although their confidence would have been shaken by the last match.
A draw lay for me.

Seems about right pxb.
Looking at past records, I see that the last two sides batting first scored over 400 but in the previous three, first innings scores were under 200. Back to lay could be a bit of a gamble and waiting might mean missing out. Cook was out in the sun being baked for four full days and a bit of the fifth. Hope he will be fully recovered in time. |

Draw on the drift. Dubai is a quick's delight then spin friendly from Days 3.
Looking to see how many tweakers play and how the pitch looks. If either team gets to 30-0 the draw will be below 3 I would think. Despite an apparently borefest in AD, Rashid (on dayboo) ran through Pakistan and set up a very possible result. I'll be amazed if the draw doesn't trade in double figures in Dubai. Just a question of when to lay.. |

yep not traditionally such a batman's paradise here. been quite a few low first innings scores recently. certainly wouldn't be the end of the world if you lose the toss

Hi Gents, first post - maybe down to the fact Somerset has just got broadband ;). I have managed to work some green onto the draw pre match, currently 3.25 and in my opinion worth a lay with this movement up and down.

I find increasingly hard to find a place where cricket traders gather ideas.
Supps - I believe most of the old guard from this place have moved to Twitter. It's a shame that this site is so quiet. I'm sure by pooling knowledge of cricket and markets we could have fun and make a lot of money. |

similar positon for me as 1st test,laying pakistan after day one around 1.82
 |

By:
I tried to get into Twitter, but too much noise.
You'd have to say Cook will decide this match. Another big one and a draw. Out for not too many and Pak win. Not that I think England can't win but looks like Pak will put on at least another 100 and that puts it close to out of reach for England. |

By:
lay pakistan 400+ at 1.15. should be at least 1.2
|
|
By:
Pakistan is not backable at sub even odds so early in the game. I think backing draw till Pak bats is way forward

layed pakistan 400 at 1.15 for £1k and greened at 2. i am the best,
|

So assuming Pakistan all out for about 390 around lunch;England could be 200 odd by close of play. Assuming say 2/3 wickets down at that point makes the draw look even less likely so laying the draw now at around 3 seems best bet.
|

By:
All out for 390?
|
|
By:
at least at this stage this test much more intriguing than the last..all 3 outcomes well on the card atm
|

By:
I did have a look at Twitter, but it seems a lot of people just making statements and not interested in what anybody else says. Most of that social media crap is just a place where people feel they must be listened to, and not listen to anybody else.
IMO anyway. a bit like on here then |

I don't think England are out of this. Obviously depends here on what Shafiq gets. Pitch looks decent enough. I'm sure it will spin and we will get a result. draw looks in lay territory too as will be Pakistan approaching odds on. The big punt of course is can England bat well? Who is young Shah? The again if Pakistan get beyond 450 that could well be enough to stop England getting a big enough lead. 100 I do not think will be enough ( assuming we can bat against Shah first up! ). Much depends on Cook again. Was going in with a couple of speculative punts but now have confused myself!
Maybe the draw lay to start with. |

doh, baulked at 5.1!

By:
Riaz will get it to reverse too maybe I am best off out of it!
|

By:
Yeah, don't think will be a draw, but not so sure you get paid too much for a while. The way England bat, they will grind out the runs keeping the draw always in play until the last innings.
Long way to wait for payoff, at least the way I like to bet. May get a few early wickets to push the price out, but more than likely see same price draw tomorrow. I can't find a position at the moment. Don't think much changes til England start batting, then can see how they are handling it. Probably wait for batsmen to be comfortable looking for a Pakistan lay should that eventuate. |

it difficult to bet on pakistan matches cos they could fix at any moment. i tend to not bet on them usually. this baabaa at the crease looks like he wants to throw his wicket away right now.

yeah more Ali Baba at the moment!

BJT what don't you like about my assessment of getting pakistan out around lunch for say 390 ?!
