Cricket
Draw is pretty short around 3.3 reflecting what happened in the last match and the forecast.
I think India win this in 5 days, but I thought that in the last match. If India bat first, draw could go much shorter as should be good for batting.

time to crack a cold one.
Capital idea. I have some Bombdier in the fridge. I'll let it warm up a bit first!
Still a long way to go here. Still haven't greened. I think I must like the anguish!

WD, you must be ready for a celebratory glass of ale Cool
Drunk the Bombadier already!
Still a little nervous. Don't want to cash out just yet!
Fancy a large cider on ice mind...
A Jameson always goes down well(and that's not always a good thing)

There must be less than 500 people there. For a top class Test Match. Proper cricket is finished.
£22 million traded on here though, that will keep it going.

Get Murali Vijay and Pujara in for Dharwan and Rohit and that is as good a Test Side India have. Good enough to play anyone anywhere
I am having a good few days!
Even had a double at 5.53 today Alloa and Livingstone.
You heard it here first. That is your Saturday free kebab double all season!

Is it fair to say England will be lucky to get nil in India?
Not sure really. Beating WI isn't that huge an achievement and there are quite a lot of good things to be said about the England side. The top order batting is pretty dire though and I think will let England down often enough that India will win. I'm not sure the the England pace bowlers won't give the Indian batting some very tough sessions though.

especially Marlon Samuels who put up no resistance whatever. cheers Marlon
Yep, good man. Even the one slightly decent innings from him might have really changed this test. Well done Marlon for not bothering.

One day washed out and they still lose 20 wickets for 300 runs.
To be fair, better teams than WI get beaten inside 4 days of cricket. The anomaly was how good they were on day 2.
First innings, 135-2, 225 all out.
Here 65-3, 95-9. Tin hearts I'm afraid.

I'm a very happy boy tonight, could have stuck it out but wanted to play it safe in the end. 4.5k green is one hell of a bonus considering I was 3k down. I need to take a break so I can get back to form as I've put myself in so many bad positions and managed to get myself out of jail recently. Just happy for everyone that took on the draw short.
I got shot of a k of my green backing draw at 3.1 after two wickets fell, which wasn't a good bet but I still won £3.2k. I don't feel too bad about having got in a very deep hole and got back out again because it was fair enough to have assumed WI wouldn't hold out as long as they did first innings and losing a whole day to rain was a surprise. Wish I'd got a lay in at some of the stupidly low draw prices but you can't always take more on.

Draw looks improbable now and it looks like some of us have done our money but I always like to look at things on a neutral point of view.India will be looking to get W.I before/around tea to give them any kind of a chance and if it happens then it's game on.But W.I have a chance of winning this knowing that the draw will save them and they could go on the quickfire run rate in hope of getting India out cheap.This will at least open the game up.Weather??? I don't think it matters now but if rain stays away we still have 206 overs to play for.My glass is always 2/3 full as opposed to being 1/3 empty.Not saying this because I'm on the draw lay but the draw lay at 1.12 looks good value.
Sometimes it feels nice.
Not that it would have a difference to the outcome.

What is more amazing is how they batted for such a long time in the last test to save it!
Had they batted for too long and it ended in a draw, 1/6th of the Worlds population would not have been happy for sure considering what happened in the last test.
Fair play to Kohli as he had a sniff and took it.
I can't help feeling blessed here. Looking down both barrels again at one point and this has been my second biggest win ever I think. I didn't lay off a penny! I layed off £2,600 green to secure an all round £300 green in the previous Test but as Andrew Ridgley said caution pays sometimes. If I got wiped out I would not be sitting so pretty after consequent bets.
The only thing I would have to say is I went all in here and could have come a cropper so need to address that and secondly was a bit premature with the betting too so best I got was something like 9.8 India but with a smaller amount. Never got hold of a lump of the 1.08 lay.....one day though shall bag the Elephant!
