Amazing how both these teams never let their supporters watch the game in peace. You're never sure what's next. Not easy being a pakistan or windies fan.

Does Holder think its easy to chase 61 off 12 overs instead of blocking out the 12 overs?

Gifted the last two wickets. Absolutely horrendous

So Holder got both his partners run out. That's how bad he is at hogging the strike. And that single he took off the second last delivery only to play a lofted risky shot to retain the strike. Brainless. Feel for the windies if he's their future.

Pakistan maybe should thank Bishoo for giving enough time to bowwl out.

Lost about 450 euros, totaling 3000 euro loss for the last 2 weeks. Life continues.

Exactly Nalmefene. Another 50 runs in 15 overs for Pakistan and I'm pretty sure it would have been a draw

Hillary is a near lock for president. I wouldn't worry at all on that one.

I was sweating on my £5k draw red with WI 7 down and not going for the runs. I think I may have been guilty of motivated reasoning a couple of times this test, which can be a very costly habit indeed but at least I got away with it on the match odds (I didn't on Pak first innings runs) and to be fair, the draw was never going to be the outcome except in a rather narrow set of circumstances and spent most of the match shorter than it ought to have been.

What a day. I fell asleep to be honest but made £28.30!

Fact is if I had let it ride I would have won. Now heres the thing. I am not a banker. I don't bet £100 to make a pound and quite Frankly I don't usualy bet £2 to make a pound either unless it is nailed on. That was the situation I was in and I did not have any clear idea if Pak would win, WI would pull off a miracle ( or Pak had thrown it! ) or it would squib out to a draw! I felt Pak had to win but I don't trust them.

All in all I think it was prudent to chip out. I didn't really watch much of the game but I can understand why some people who watch every ball are so invested that they want to win and will leave a bet to ride because of the previous 5 days. The funny thing is I picked 4 winners on Sunday night football in Argentina and Brasil

So I had 1 four fold and 3 trebles and boom! they all came in! So to I let my cricket bet ride at 1/2 not having a clue as to what the result ould bes struck me a irresponsible but it takes a lot of guts to walk away particularly after you had a winning hand.

It seems a lot of you fellows are trying to be too clever or take to much out of the hand. I am not without sin here so don't for a minute think I am preaching. For example I bought Windies at 70 and had a 50% all round green but only managed to walk away with £28...go figure. Timing is in the hands of God. Getting lucky is another matter, just remember it runs out.

On the plus side, what a game!
