Pitch Report: "It is a night game. Perfect conditions at 28-degrees. The pitch is like a mirror. Players love this surface. If you bat first, the avreage score you get is 149. But history tells us that the side chasing it wins six out of nine times. An absolute belter this," reckons the man full of expressions, Danny Morrison.
Sarfraz: "We would have to play well to beat this side. The pitch looks good and the boundaries are small as well. We would look to score over 160 runs. Two changes for us as well." Misbah: "It looks like all the teams are chasing well so we would also like to have a bowl. It looks like a good track to bat on. We have two changes today. |

Charlie opening bets??

By:
My normal back of Quetta but looking to change when chasing.
|
By:
You Steam?
|
By:
if this is a belter as they are saying then it might be a good strategy to back to lay Quetta.
|
By:
Backed Quetta for now..would see the odds at the end of the first innings..
|
By:
I'm pretty unimaginative these days and look to back team batting first if over evens. Get's me in a lot of sh!te though.
|
By:
Well that makes two of us :D lol
|
By:
Would like some cash out around 1.8 but maybe just wishful thinking. I'll back again if wickets fall.
|
By:
1.8 being about half of what I've bet, backed Quetta at 2.4 and laid Islamabad at 1.67.
|
By:
For now these two are batting well..
|
By:
Pitch looks big improvement on last one but will deteriorate as more games played on it.
|
By:
Just as they were going well

KP's gone at the game.
|
By:
KP is such a disappointment now
|
By:
As I always try to convince myself when things go tits up in that I've got better odds now!
|
By:
Been meaning to ask for a while so why Steam as a username?
|
By:
I ll probably wait for another 3-4 overs..before trying to save my sorry ass..
|
By:
Ephemeral character may be..that is why
|
By:
Sorry but don't know who Steam is/was.
|
By:
Ohh no one...just Steam..
|
By:
I'm pretty equal on the lay side (laid 1.59) but still red on back side 2.45.

Bad miss by Hadin

Digging a bigger hole for myself as normal.
|
By:
I m just covering my losses on the match odds now..had a lay on the run lines...hoping that to work out well and save me ..
|
By:
.
|
By:
Next match I'd drop KP and play Wright.
|
By:
confirmed minefield? just tuned in
|
By:
I wouldn't say so.
|
By:
Last time I said this there was a wicket but ok on lay 1.46 but still 2.45 on back.
|
By:
Perhaps I should stop saying it!
|
By:
this is the first match here isn't it?
the wickets usually play pretty well first up and then slow down as they're used more and more. ergo, this is bobbins from quetta. |
By:
Yes first match. Pretty poor effort so far but not panicking just yet.
|
By:
This is pretty much a royal mess by Quetta...this is as good a batting track you would ever get..small outfields..
|
By:
what a minefield!
|
By:
If average score is 148 then this shouldn't be that far out.
|
By:
misbah's beard is just on the cusp of sea captain/tramp
|
By:
quetta in big trouble now, 140 isnt enough
