Bangladesh v England - 2nd Test at Dhaka

That was the plumbest plumb I have ever seen in all my life let alone be reviewed! This is turning comical!

HTF did the draw ever trade @ 2.74?

Remember the first innings!

Bangers success since the world cup has been pretty good.

I can't believe the stadium isn't full!

Bangla were 171-1 on  Day 1

why did I buy the draw at 140 and 550?

this is embarrassing.

Yes very disappointing. A city of 7 million can't get a full house when it was pretty clear yesterday Bangla were in with a good chance.

go on my son! That is the cherry on top!

with England to bat twice?!

Even Banglas can't blow it from here.

The Watford Wall!

A draw is the best result for me, 10 large!

this is the mother of all collapses

my advice..don't bother going over the border

100-0, 169-9, classic England. Embarrassing stuff.

my advice is go out for a Chicken Chennai tonight. Most Indian restaurants are owned by Bangladeshi's!

couldn't believe England were 1.7x 3 down
and even when losing wkts Bangla were an unreal price effectively
remember they were BOWLING not batting

Yes but you cant blame the market for thinking Eng will gget a patnership together. Afterall their tail has done all the batting this series.

Ballance was at the creasing and my 1.6 lays were being matched, unbelievable!

forget big sam's 'indiscretions'
get him in as the England cricket manager

all about misplaced perception dt
the writing was on the wall
can't keep expecting to get out of jail

There is a security cordon around the stadium, it's a bugger for locals to get in.

anyway kudos to the Banglas
deserve the win
unearthed a diamond in Mehedi
and have batsmen who can play
all they need is to be more disciplined
this team are no mugs

Looked not out to me!

he was a long way down, but on replay it does look out

This is where you make manoey in gambling imho!

The market sometimes gets it wrong and gives you on open goal. I have siad this before here several times. When you get these instances you have to smash them. I went 6 and a half times my match budget because I felt this would happen although initially went for England. Batting last on the subcontinent is tough.

This has been the most amazing few months. This has happened about 5 or six times. We even had an imminent Hurricane and bet 365 were still offering 8-1 on the draw!

I should really have gone again on Bangla but was in such a good position even after giving away 40% green I disn't want to risk it.

Cricket is a great game to bet on for sure.

Well done Bangla I think even England fans are happy for you!

I also wonder if this was a fix!

Maybe England did this for the sake of Test Cricket!

Not meaning to be disrespectful to bangla of course

Bangers knocked us out the World Cup too, they have the Indian Sign over us.

well done Wd
i've been involved in the snooker
was replaying the cricket on video
and when i caught up live
i nicked a few bob
England are overrated
apocalyptic collapse
wasn't expecting them to fail so abjectly
but were never going to get the runs imho

3 days.............3 days......rather embarrassing......

I hope its not too early to say this but Bangladesh have started a new chapter definitely. Their success in ODIs has been amazing. And now they win a test after 14 month break. They'll still have to find decent fast bowlers though otherwise they'll still be the same Bangladesh travelling around the world.

FCUK me, just got home, gobsmacked but a little bit wealthier!

what happened!?

The tail didn't wag juce.

What odds do we get on England v india?

anything north of 1.01 India
fill yer boots

Well played winners.

I had a shocker from first session day 1.

Kept getting on the wrong side of things. Layed Eng today at 1.27 but was out and about so I wasn't concentrating enough to put the right amount on. Layed 1k but should have been 2k at least...

Then bailed, locked in a loss of 22% of my bank

It's tricky when you have to do family stuff and can't watch at the key moments..

Wonderful series. A classic case of expect the unexpected and generally put your cricket brain to one side. On the plus side at 60, 70, 100-0 I may have done something very silly if I'd been in front of the tv...

Got 5 tests v India to make 30%. I'd take that now

Thanks. Still waiting for a big loss and wondering how I shall take it! But when you are on a roll you have to keep rolling. Next stop Perth! Oh and I know we shouldn't mention politics but I have side bets on Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders!

u'll get back on track Injy
not how many times ur knocked down
but how many u get back up
nil desperandum

Normally these kinds of collapses are the kiss of death for me - 10 wickets in a session- but managed to come away with a small profit, as I am saving myself for the Aus v Sa and India v Eng Tests, which should be real money makers.

And well done Banglas. You were the better team.

just reading through the thread now, lots of people on here have done their bollocks and possibly gone busto, im going to pray for u all

Why would you pray for people, they have only lost money, not their lives and I was like pxb and agree with his end comment

can't see us winning a test against india with this side.

what are the odds on 5-0?

it might sound like an odd thing to say, but i suspect our bowlers have made cook the god-awful captain he is.

in particular Swann. He really was a remarkably good orthodox finger spinner.

Thanks Johnny.

So true..

India 1.54 for first test, their price would drop if they keep winning, maybe 1.5 average over 5 tests?
1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 = 7.6 roughly

England shouldn't feel too downhearted. They have been rolled over by a world class side. Thought they played with a lot of steel and guts and if they could have taken their catches, batted and bowled better they would have surely won. Thought the batsman's technique was also very good When is the test series against Scotland , might be a bit of a tighter series.

wouldn't get too cocky. with their famed prowess against the turning ball australia would be nailed on to lose 2-0 should they follow england's lead into venturing to bangladesh.

How did betting go @100/1 England  please

around 1.25 lowest matched on england

Methinks not.

I see Detraveller was spot on with his forecast again. Backed the draw and an England win. Will be hoping for his next pay packet to come quickly. Will probably post later saying how he made a profit.

Again you are not wrong and also helpful pitches at home.

With regard to India I agree it is not looking good but as I have said before one of the pitches may well be a road and we need to find it and secondly I think England might get lucky once, maybe if they win a crucial toss. I am not on drugs! although I can see why some might think it with that analysis!

I'll be on here come rain or shine Whispering. The collapse today was appalling to say the least. It's a bit like boxing, we don't entertain the likes of Bangladesh as they have to earn the right to play us. We are not going to give a team ranked a zillion the chance to play the best. Like Mayweather having to fight Audley Harrison. England still miles away and I must admit it I was urinating myself watching the latest debacle.

TMB you ever place bets or just wait for Eng to lose and Aussie to win so that you can make a few posts here? Eng will give you a lot more oportunities next month so i hope we'll hear from you again. I doubt the aussies will give you more opportunities to boast how good they are but you're always welcome at the end of each Eng v Ind test :)

one of the pitches may well be a road and we need to find it

1st test will be a road, after that, groundsmen will have had time to prepare 'bunsens'...

Don't be so sensitive Detraveller I'm only pulling your chain. Just 2 questions for you, how much did you lose and can I have your next tip please.

Can't see India preparing real dustbowls, don't think it would be in their best interests. The more it spins, the more it brings chance into play and lessens the difference between the 2 teams.
The type of pitches that would suit India are the low slow pitches that England have always struggled on, UAE/Oval 2016 type pitch.

And if those are the type of pitches India prepare, as long as Cooky doesn't lose all 5 tosses, I can't see us losing  5-0 (changed my mind as I did think 5-0 was possible)

Im confident that Cook and Root will score big in India and I like Duckett and hope he gets an extended run. Ballance is never an England no 4 for me and after that its players who are hit and miss though Stokes excelled. The problem will be our complete lack of spinners. India will win comfortably. Great two matches here and Englands collapse was spectacular. I hope nobody got too badly burned and if you did beware for future reference England batting 4th in Asia.
Good luck to all those  who try for a profit in India.

Since you ask so politely, lay the aussies at evens. You wont get that price all series again.

And I didn't lose money. I lay England for a living ffs.

Good lad Detraveller we'll see how that one gets on.

To be fair TMB if you are going to talk the talk you need to walk the walk so it would be nice to hear your " Constructive criticsm " all the way through the matches. Now I know there may be a a problem with timing for you for matches in Aus. WIll you be asleep at night in your little Bolt Hole in Earls Court? Do you love Aus so much you live here?

WD did England bat terribly after tea or was it good bowling?

Too caught up in the excitement to notice Juce to be fair.

I didn't think it was spinning like a top a la some Indian Bunsens. Some played down the wrong line to straightish skidders, there were a couple of lbws to straight ones so it was not a mine field and they got to 100-0 on the same pitch. It did not blow up after tea. Bangla bowled well, England were poor in application. Same old same old. It was just that this time the middle order did not bail them out.

Some people see fit to criticise and complain about the batsmen ( erm sorry about that ) but shirley the Selectors need to put against the wall for this one. Why was Ballance brought on Tour? It has just complicated the whole make up of the side because of batting order. Why do we have so many left hookers coming in together? Do we really have the best spinners in the country on Tour? What is this fixation with having an ODI type batsman to open the innings? Don't get me wrong there is some mileage in the likes of Duckett but seeing him get out to a full straight one and be caught not only on the crease but leaving not just a gate  but all three stumps open was scary.

The Selectors are the ones who should be in the Dock. The players should be honoured for going on Tour and getting on with it. Stokes need to be reprimanded for his onfield ranting and be reminded he is an Englishman, not a Convict and that he should deport himself onfield as such!

If you would like my comments during the games you can have them. My responses in the past have been directed at certain people on here whose constructive comments have been limited to " I hate the Aussies " and the greatest batsman of all times was a " coward ".  Very strange comments from so called cricket fans. A very anti Aussie bias on here that's uncalled for. My constructive comments have included giving you a history lesson on the fallout from bodyline and the hypocrisy of some of your comments on here when confronted with what happened in the aftermath of that series. I would hope that some of you learned something that you did not know before. This is what forums are all about. When you churn out some of the rubbish I've seen on here and the appalling judgement with regards betting on the beautiful game I have to smile. Don't think your bad lads just a little ill informed and I look forward to improving your knowledge of the game and having some good old fashion good hearted banter. ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

tmb - you fancy anything in the Melbourne cup? Ive gone for Bondi Beach

Its not the best of Cup's this year Dragon and he must have a better chance this year after a better preparation than he had last year. I've had a little on Almoonqith at a big price but the draw is poor. Exospheric looked handy early on in the season but might lack a bit of toughness going around here. Good luck with Bondi.

Well like I have said you have talked the talk now walk the walk!

I look forward to seeing your comments, appraisals of both sides with strengths and weaknesses ( assuming you are able to admit an Aussie has a weakness! ), strengths of both batting line ups and bowling match ups. I also look forward to your advice on betting and timing of bets.

If you are prepared to put these up and back them up when questioned I am sure you will get an equally warm repsonse at least equal to the derision. The people who are smart will take anything you have to offer regardless of your previous generational criminal activity.

If anything it would be a huge advantage to most of us here to have things from an Aussie perspective as not only to most of us on here want SA to be rubbing Aussie noses in it but we shall be backing them to do it! If you have anything to offer with regard to form of the batsmen, preference of which foot they like to score their runs off, whether square on in the |" V ", what time the Doctor blows, pitch expectations and history, weather etc etc etc we would be most obliged should you wish to share it with us.

We do try to help each other win money on here together. Sometimes a contrary opinion is more important as it may help us not losing money which is more important. Don't expect not to get a hard time though. We would feel it ill mannered not to do so and extremly condescending, which, I imagine you would shirley be more offended by!

I would be interested to hear what you have got on Bodyline and I am sure there are plenty of others too. Feel free to clip and past anything you have put up before or links. I learnt a huge amount about World Series Cricket after the death of Tony Greig. I thought he was a traitor at the time. I had no idea what he did. I had no idea what the TCCB did or said and it was a revelation when I did.

I expect to see you on the Aus SA First Test Forum since you have opened your mouth!

So help me make back my "losses" TMB, where do I put my money for the Aus / SA First Test at Perth? oh and please try and do it before the game starts and certainly before it is over!

pxb,

just having some fun but I understand what you are saying.

Was quite prepared to share my thoughts with the real cricket lovers on here but you can't help yourself in the nasty and uncalled for remarks directed at the Aussies. Why would you want to rub their noses in it ffs. Is it because they have been top for so long and you can't take their success compared to the abysmal record of your fellow countrymen which fell to a new low the other day. Generational criminal activity , cowards and I hate the Aussies are some of the constructive comments that have been aired on here. Quite bizarre.  I would love to try to win some much needed cash for you Whispering but I fear it would take many series over many years to get you back into profit as you must be that far behind. Next you will be telling me how much you made on the last Test. I'm sure the great Michael Holding is really pleased that somebody whose judgement and forecasting is so poor dares to use his name on here to give himself a modicum of respectability  By the way post your bets next time so we can all have a laugh and you can't come on here telling us porkies , if you forgive the pig reference.

Someone's easily "offended"

He hasn't mentioned anything about cricket yet! No forecast or thoughts on the Test at The WACA. I will expect some after timing comments after the match! Typical cheap shot BMW!

thanks for yoyr comments tmb - no winner there thenif you fancy a football bet at the weekend have a look at preston on Saturday who at 17/12 look a good bet

Will have a go at that Dragon and throw a few quid at it. I'm as bad at football betting as Whispering is at cricket. Good luck with Preston

cheers tmb lets hope it comes in m8

Great tip Dragon. Going to have a good drink tonight on you. The Mrs even wants to go out tonight now. Every silver lining has a cloud. Well done again.

cheers tmb glad you were on it m8 . enjoy. had a great day today some really big wins

will post you a few more as and when I get them

tmb - tip this weekend is CARLILSE at Even monet, 11/10 in places

good luck if you give it a go

ko 1.00pm

Been away Dragon. Only just seen the tip. Keep putting them up mate. Carlisle 52% possession. Unlucky this time. Let me know what you think next as my football tipping is horrendous.

sorry about that one, had sheff utd today which was a comfortable win

will post on here for my next one

hi TMB ,

Ultra busy at this time of year so not around as much and not as much time for betting analysis

Anyway here my systems selections for the weekend

HIGHEST RATED . PRESTON at 6/4 look a massive price to beat Wolves at home Apart from the home defeat 1-2 to high flying Newcastle Preston are in great form and are 3rd in the form league table. Apart from Newcastle they are unbeaten in 8 league games They have 5 wins 2 draws and 1 loss in 8 games and that was against some of the top teams in the division. Apart from the Newcastle game they have won 3 home games on the bounce and it looks a strong form line,

Wolves by contrast have not won a game since the end of September losing 5 and drawing 2 in the last 7. they are 2nd bottom of the form league and Preston should be too strong for them . 6/4 on the form book looks a great bet.

Equally highly rated are YEOVIL at 8/5 to beat Colchester. Yeovil are unbeaten in 5 with 3 wins and 2 draws and their home form is not too bad lying 8th in the League. They are up against Colchester who are in dire form having not won in 9 league games having lost the last 3 away games on bounce . 8/5 looks a massive price.

I have backed them both in singles and a double.

The other teams from my system are Plymouth at 10/11 to beat Grimsby, Luton at 4/5 to win at Morecombe and Derby at 4/9 to win at home  Rotherham


Have put all 5 in acca which pays around 30/1..

Good luck if you give any of them a go

Was about to post then realised was on wrong tread. What happened to the cricket thread?

Should be thankful Charlie. At least Dragon sticks his tips up and doesn't change them 20 times during the game like some on here
