... nly thing really missing is a decent fifth bowling option.

May struggle to keep my posting up as the baby is now awake and attacking the Macbook at intervals.

I've always been a bit loathe to use painkillers - not out of martyrdom, just cos I prefer to listen to what my body's trying to tell me. Stupid of me to mishear for months though. Saying that, I did recently buy a smoke alarm with a snooze button for those lie-in days.

You've just reminded me of that clip with the news correspondent reporting live from his home-office when his baby kid walks in followed by his nanny.

It's been a very pro draw start to this session for the draw to have notched up slightly, hasn't it? Would have expected a drop to the high 8s by now. As my last few lays were above current price though, I don't think I can back it (obviously I could but it's against my method).

Almost as funny as the clip with the Aussie anchor interviewing the Dalai Lama and trying to tell him the Dalai Lama/pizza joke.

I missed on the review again but did get some 12s in the aftermath so further slight improvement in position, although still need a proper draw crash, really. Funny that the draw price is same as over lunch despite most of a session with no wickets and very few runs. Course the reverse does loo rather threatening and has reminded the market that SA will probably bowl Aus out a second time for far too few runs to keep the draw in play into day 5.

Deficit under 100 with only 1 of top order fallen.........this Aus price has to burst.

Draw coming back into equation can aid that too!

I got matched on Aus at 5.5 at 11.12am took another hour for my 5.6 order to be filled coz of the spectre of reverse swing!

Do you know what happened to pxb FS?

Rules in aus changed and he said he was going to stop. I havent been on much since september so im not sure when exactly and for what exact reason he stopped but he did say it was the end. He also made a thread for it as far as i remember.

I think the rules were something like only being able to place bets on phone or something...but im not sure.

By:

detraveller When: 10 Mar 18 12:35

Now I remember. He said he wouldn't be able to bet in-play anymore.

I see he was still creating threads for tests in january. SO must still be betting.

It's still not really done as much as you'd expect for a whole session of wicketless stagnation but the reverse is the thing, obviously.

By:

I think they changed the rules so that you couldn't even bet in-between days, or something. Lord knows how they think that such restrictions protect people vulnerable to gambling problems - it simply removes their best chances to reduce losses or make a profit.

Price-swap approaching a lot more slowly than I thought it would. SA stable - tempted to lay in the unlikely case of a Wicket McFlurry, but may just continue to drip-back Aus and keep my modest green on SA. Given back half of my draw green already, so won't lay any more unless it goes silly-short.

Worryingly, the UK Gambling Commission were considering blocking gambling at certain times of night - I hope exchange-trading would be excepted, but you can never trust politicians not to mess things up.

I layed Aus as low as 2.14. in that session.

They’d have been odds on if they’d got AB early. SA to bat last on this too: right now I’d rather back than lay Aus at 3.1. Course there’s still scope for a decent first innings lead though so Aus will fly out with a good start to the morning for AB and Big Vern. I’m wondering where to look to go green. At the moment I’ve got a lot of rather unrealistic draw lays in, that will leave me big if the draw gets back to the 7s and massive if it ever get to the 3s. I’m pretty sure I should be less ambitious but how much less?

That would do nicely. I missed my last draw back at 15.5 having laid quite a bit off at 14.5 at close, which is a shame as wanted to take more advantage of the no wicket first over and a half draw crash but still a lot better than if there had been a wicket. Now it’s hit a couple more lays I’m actually green on SA to the princely tune of £15, £150 red Aus and £8.6k draw green, which is a lot, lot less comedy than after I last chased the price up on a wicket, when I had well over £20k.

Will continue falling until the lead well over 100 and especially so if scoring quickly, which they will if they keep batting. Could see 1.25 if they get past 100?

I’ve now got a bit irritated with myself for taking too many lays at 14.5!

I already did last night but then went back in with some Aus lays around the 3's mark.

Started my lays off at 1.45. Look comfortable at the moment

Market thinks SA batting on means it’s flat. It is a bit flat but both sides have got reverse and very hard for Aus to bat out for a draw having been bowled out with so much of day 1 left.

Wicket now. Not going to chase up too much but got lots of my smaller lays picked up so have room to trade a bit.

Surprised that SA haven’t shortened further but as i say, market thinks flat surface so draw has come in a lot more. Clearly my nominal 1.25 was miles off though.

Lol, didn't call that review either. Seemed a surprisingly big move even if he had been out!

Also missed the draw then bafflingly blipping up to 10s. Oh well, can’t hit all the right notes.

Yeah that’s what I meant. I think 1.40 is big. With how tired Aus look and how the balls been reversing. Plus the amount of time left in the match

Ah, in that case agree. The favourite is often too long in this sort of situation, partly because there’s too much belief in the draw.

ABD is the goat of my generation. Slated him in recent years with his approach to test cricket and I still can't understand why he wouldn't want to shine at the pinnacle of his sport. Forget this T20 sludge this is where legends are made, not in the pleb's version of cricket

Don't come here much to post but the draw has now become the value bet. Hoping SA can at least eke out a 150+ lead. The Aussies won't have enough time to build a declarable lead. This time tomorrow the draw is edging towards favourite.

Lol, I’m just trying to get my draw green off at 8 thinking we get a wicket to put it up or SA carry on quick scoring and it doesn’t drop much for that reason.
