Draw has been very tradeable since yesterday. One of those "volatile third outcome" matches where the two likely outcomes move steadily whilst the third is all over the shop.

G'Day VV. English weather in Perth today.

I'm pleased to see the WA boy Agar do well. I wasn't sure he had what it takes to play Tests.

I use yr.no and the Accuweather satellite, but the satellite images all come from the same 1 or 2 satellites.

Will you be staying up for the Windies chase (assuming thy survive beyond lunch)?

That dodgy no-ball decision yesterday probably ruined WI's chances. A more reachable target would make this a better fifth day. If they lose a couple of wickets early they'll probably just dig in for a draw or collapse trying to block it  out. Mind you if that no-ball had gone the other way they could easily have been put in earlier and be four down by now anyway!

very good very good.........

I have settled now with an equal green. Will look to back Bangers again if they trade 1.8 or so. With a smallish target you never know.

same as..........

I didn't understand the Q either.

What do you mean the market is so ahead Trainy?

what i mean is the market cancels all the money out the market when there is a wicket, where are they getting the data from is it a data source or radio?

Trainy - your bets are set to have a five-second delay anyway, even if you had a real-time feed. This is to give punters with a slightly delayed feed enough time to cancel bets before people sitting at the stadium with a laptop can take advantage of them. Any bets still left up will just get hoovered, even if it's only a handful of people at the venue, so the market is nearly always in synch with the action. What you need is a premium account, then just go to "settings" and change the delay from plus five seconds to minus five. You'll still have to beat their reaction times, but at least it gives you a slight edge over people watching the live action who have no delay in force when they cancel their bets.

I think he was being ironic.

Wasn't the "premium account" a thing on this forum a few years ago where some people thought it was a real thing? Anyway will be an interesting chase for these last few runs if they can get them.

8 down 66 runs required.

A tie would really P me off.

Well done Bangla. Their spinners were better.

Batting first was Massive I feel, pressure to chase. Expect the same wicket again next time

Excellent test for me, although even this and a few other decent efforts this week haven't remotely recovered my recent losses. Had the Bangles all along and kept waking up to find their position improved while I slept, even on day 1 where 50/3 or something looked okay as a getting up score given they'd won the toss. Took a tiny fraction of my green off backing Aus from 8 down at the end (glad I didn't put some on at 3 before Maxwell out, which I did think of). I got a nibble of 15s before Lyon hit a 4 first ball and then had to take 9s but still won £3k.

yep they're a useful side at home these days and much improved away. got 500+ in new zealand and still contrived to lose and think they won a test in sri lanka recently too

Good to see Aus following 4th innings protocol.

Rule Number 1: look like you might win.
Rule Number 2: fall in a heap
Rule Number 3: rally
Rule Number 4: lose.

This has been the pattern for nearly all of test match history, which makes Windies' triumph so special.
