Sounds more promising pxb. What do you mean by "cold weather" in Perth?

By:

pxb When: 02 Nov 16 22:52

Cool relative to what it is normally. The last 4 months have been well below average. The WACA pitch needs to bake hard in the hot sun and we have had hardly any hot days so far. Also 1st week in Nov is early in the season.

tbh, I think there is a fair amount of wishful thinking in the talk of a WACA pitch of old. Could be wrong. Just my opinion.

By:

pxb When: 02 Nov 16 22:58

TV coverage starts 9am Perth time. Will be plenty of talk about the pitch I expect.

By:

Foinavon When: 02 Nov 16 22:58

Thanks.

Will be off to bed soon so I can have a look what's happening during the final session in the morning.
Enjoy the day.

Not had a bet on this yet which is rare for me at this stage of a game.
Can't decide what to do so nothing is the best option!
One thing is for sure, since they got rid of those hideous Aus wallets, the liquidity has increased dramatically!

By:

pxb When: 03 Nov 16 02:13

I've traded loads, and I'm in pretty good shape. Wouldn't mind SAF winning the toss.

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 03 Nov 16 02:38

I found Australia Wallets helped me tick nick coz the markets were gappy for overnight trading but I suppose it helps overall.

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 03 Nov 16 02:52

When these 2 last played here saffers made 225 and Aus 163 1st knocks and then it got better to bat on.

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 03 Nov 16 02:54

In fact looking back at stats I'm not sure I want to be batting 1st here at all.

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 03 Nov 16 03:03

Oh well saffers win toss and choose to bat, if they have confidence in themselves I will too and NOT scratch my Aus lay of 2.2 :-) will in fact lay again.

By:

Joel When: 03 Nov 16 03:32

Fair catch

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 03 Nov 16 03:32

:-(

The most important thing for me is if the ball is carrying to the slips nicely. Last year some of the nicks didn't carry to the slips.

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 03:36

Still remember Amla's first test innings. He looked absolutely hopeless against Harmison et al. Amazing progression to a top player

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 03:36

Bloody hell, Punter and Vaughan

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 03:46

SA in big trouble now

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 03:47

I don't rate Duminy at all

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 03 Nov 16 03:49

Duminy at 4.........superficially this looks a Quick Death for me!

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 03:52

They will need a De **** counter to save them now

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 03:56

2 new ball wickets, not enough to make you think it's going to be a massive collapse. Just need to leave the ball well

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 03:59

KP on comms too, interesting. He's a lot more knowledgeable than people give him credit.

By:

pxb When: 03 Nov 16 04:05

I don't mind KP. He keeps going on about lack of swing.

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 03 Nov 16 04:17

Good start by Aussie! Need SA to hang in here. Looks like a decent strip.

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 04:24

First bet, backed the draw at 8s.

WD, Hillary is starting to tank in the polls and on Bfair!! Can feel another shock coming on.
Remember voters have a small attention & retention spans, therefore this will be on their minds when they vote!

Fatslogger When: 03 Nov 16 04:31

Bought draw after each of the first two wickets but had lost heart / missed 10.5 for the third, which would actually have gone well. That four now? Crickey, doesn't look good for my winnings from Zim SL.

Not great timing although you're a whole load better off than I am.

not out

Angela Rebecchi When: 03 Nov 16 04:33

who layed 2.4?

Market is giving it out.

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 04:35

yeh, ump gave it tbf so difficult to over turn on that evidence

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 03 Nov 16 04:40

I am not sure it was out but definately no reason to overturn the Umpires decision. We seem to be forgetting DRS is here to primarily stop howlers. I think it does that quite effectively.

Juce i still think Hillary wins. Would you want a man like that to be President if you had a daughter? Will keep off the Politics here. Gambling wise I had a couple of bets on Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders

and also Paul Ryan! I expect some dirty tricks in the next few days.

This is going very badly! SA batting like England! Hope FAF puts in a 300 ball epic like KP said! I am a little surprised SA have been done by the bounce.

A lot of people in power think they can do what they want with women.
Bill Clinton - proven rapist
George Bush Senior - paedophile
Joe Biden - very dodgy around young girls!
I do think he has changed a bit in the last year since he's been on the campaign.
Would you trust Hillary!! The stuff that has come out this morning is unreal!
Full FBI inv into the Clinton Foundation now & 5 countries have been able to hack her emails
Makes her ripe for blackmail
Would like want a president who could be blackmailed? and has previous with pay per play, bribery, fraud, racketeering, destruction of evidence, perjury, obstruction of justice!!

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Nov 16 04:53

Bavuma is almost shorter than Taylor, he might struggle with the bounce!

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 03 Nov 16 04:55

not sure I want either of them!

I don't want to see QDK batting before lunch! Sa need to make this go into 5 days. I am a little surprised they chose to bat. maybe had something to do with the spinner playing.

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 03 Nov 16 04:56

I think shorter players are generally good on the back foot!

yeh but I can see one getting the shoulder of the bat and going to gully

By:

I am quite fearful of what David Warner might do when the pitch settles down!

Whisperingdeath When: 03 Nov 16 05:11

I do like listening to Chapelli. I am on the Ian Botham side of the argument in how to deal with him but he is a good and informative commentator
