Compelling stuff indeed.

The market doesn't expect WI to offer any resistance at all with the bat.

And I think that's gonna be the case too, Windies Batters are going to be defeated by Nawaz and Yasir just like Ashwin and Jaddu did to Kiwis.

I suspect you are right, Robin.

This would have been a rather more interesting match if WI had batted first.

By:

is there a possibility that the windies get off to a good start(say 50-0 or 100-1) AND the market gives us some funny prices?

Depends if the ball does anything under lights tomorrow. As soon as it does (and if), Pak will declare and I am afraid WI are toast.

But if the pitch stays flat, and no real turn or movement in the air, then 50/0 could happen, and the draw will crash.

I could lay back my draw for a smallish green at this stage and I'm tempted to, as there's got to be a chance of some excitement tomorrow around declaration if nothing else and the chance to get some draw higher again hoping to lay off for a sizeable profit if WI start well. Alternatively I can wait on hoping for better things but I've been waiting for the draw to come in to 4.5 all day and the market won't have it that Pakistan scoring untroubled runs not all that quickly makes it any more likely to be drawn. I actually think the market is probably at least reasonably close to being correct, I just didn't expect it to be so stoical.

I'm thinking Pak will declare at least a fair way before the close, presumably 15+ overs out given that the best chance of the pace bowlers being threatening has to be under lights with the new ball. Of course they'll hope for spin and reverse too but would be foolish not to take the opportunity to see what happens, given that they'll have plenty of runs to boss the game before tea, let alone after

I didn't see much of the last two sessions.
Much movement or spin?
Any problems with dew?

DAN1974 When: 14 Oct 16 08:20

I didnt see much of it juce, i think there was a bit of slow turn.

Ive cashed in my draw bet for a smallish profit, i will sit and wait for another opportunity.

Cheers, going to let mine run for a while. Hoping to get down to 4.5 in the Pak innings.
I will be laying off before WI start batting, I haven't got any faith in them!

I didn't know what to expect in this D/N match, but now I'm getting a picture I'm backing and laying the draw.

i see a few of balls turn and bounce from bishoo yesterday but was followed up with dross....nothing here yet for me

By:

TerryHurlock When: 14 Oct 16 12:32

will this be like the last test,but there is no trust in the windies batting which could stop the draw pulling i like in india

By:

TerryHurlock When: 14 Oct 16 12:37

that was out..good pace from gabriel there

nice, slow session would be nice!

By:

detraveller When: 14 Oct 16 12:52

nice to see some price movement there. I thought it was dead till the windies start batting.

By:

jucel69 When: 14 Oct 16 12:55

1.4 seems a fair price for Pak. India were 1.4/1.5 after getting 575 against NZ on a deteriorating deck.
This doesn't look like it's going to break down anytime soon

By:

Mike-lfc When: 14 Oct 16 12:59

watched a bit when i got home from work. Easiest batting track ive ever seen

By:

TerryHurlock When: 14 Oct 16 13:00

and india hit 2.10+ after the steady start too..i was ball red on the draw at the time and had the gut sinker going on!...oh it lokks so obvious in hindsight

By:

TerryHurlock When: 14 Oct 16 13:01

*draw lay ffs

By:

TerryHurlock When: 14 Oct 16 13:01

bishoo time

By:

detraveller When: 14 Oct 16 13:01

well thats what im counting on. A steady start from the windies but it maybe too much to ask of them.

By:

TerryHurlock When: 14 Oct 16 13:02

jeesus market doesnt rate bishoo!...4.1 -3.9

By:

jucel69 When: 14 Oct 16 13:02

4 is often a sticking point on the draw

By:

TerryHurlock When: 14 Oct 16 13:04

comedy windies green time

By:

jucel69 When: 14 Oct 16 13:08

Even the WI should be able to muster a half decent 1st innings total on this

By:
