Wheels have come off Durham at the same time as that wicket. Double Misery!

How's yer luck. Umpire gives out on the front foot if it was the other way round it is not out and then they change the ball and it is swinging and bouncing! Narrow margins. We were looking good there for a minor recovery in fundage!

Had a large waiting be at 1.1 so that 5th wicket was loaded with one-tick seethe. Uncanny how often that happens.

My small loss on this feels much worse when I look at how much time I've spent on it...............also my entry was 1.66 Eng
 Good riddance to this game. |

By:
hope the boy Jos can continue his vein of form against stiffer opposition
should also persevere with Bess |

Yep very disappointed with Pakistan. I thought they were unlucky on the first day but to be fair have been completely out played by England. I have to say I got it wrong but managed to red out and make some money from that so not bad at all on betfair but I took a hiding on the run lines on Bet365 c'est la vie!

By:
buttler averaging 35 after today's knock. not too bad batting at 6 or 7 and keeping most of the time. considerably better than any of the new top order batsmen in the last couple of years

How did you make some money by redding out? That's a trick I need to learn. |
|
By:
Paki batsmen hoisted the red crescent whilst still in the dressing room. Total capitulation ;looked a completely different team from Lords.

Isn't it Ramadan or something? They will have been low on energy and concentration. No eating during hours of sun. Thats a tough ask playing a test match.

Charlie, First of all those who fight and run away live to fight another day. I used some of the money from the red out to back Zverev in the tennis at 1.69 and 2's. Recouped a third of my loss and also backed Sloane Stevens. tbf I chickened out. I only bet a small sum on Stevens at 2.34 when I shoulda thrown the kitchen sink at it. That is the trouble with losses. They make you bold and and care free when you shouldn't or are cautious and careful when you should be swinging! Coulda made fousands on the last two call's! |

That sounds like me from a year ago. You've got to be better than that WD. Don't go mugging to the tennis. Its a trap. But just to boast a bit, I have sloane on the outright and Zverev as well(Zverev at 60 and 44  )As for this game, I am happy its over. Got my red down from 200+ to below 100 despite not being able to monitor my bets during play on day 2 and 3. Going back to the tennis outright again... |

Sadly, I’ve just checked Broad’s batting list and I make it 39 times he’s scored 24 or more (okay, that’s somewhat fewer than 30) at a strike rate of 65 plus. His average is actually rather poor for the number of starts he’s got but then he does bat a long way down the order.
|

By:
Take it back, think it’s 36 times, 11 of which were under 30 (a quick 25 or so is his signature). It would actually be quite a useful number 9 contribution in a good side.

Had an inkling this might happen so I closed my position yesterday morning and went out for the day (sans phone!)
Got back when they were 6 down and didn't even bother going for gold. All in all a decent result for me personally, which looked impossible half way through day 1. Hopefully that's stopped the rot, April and May were vile months from a betting viewpoint |
|
By:
broad's on the verge of 3000 runs. alright he's played plenty of tests but there's very few bowlers with that many runs
sure he's not really capable of playing a proper innings any more but as FS says he's slogged plenty of quick 20s and 30s in the last few years. bit of a myth that he's a walking wicket |
|
By:
it is a well known fact in cricket that broad's batting has gone off a cliff in the last few years
broad's last 20 innings in tests in eng (comparable conditions): 2, 0, 0, 38, 14*, 0, 5, 7, 3, 5, 0, 0, 57*, 5, 0, 13, 1, 17, 14, 7 (may 2016-june 2018) scores less than 10: 16 10 to 30: 4 over 30: 2 thanks but I'd prefer to see him leaving or blocking when on strike and allowing buttler to play his shots at the other end as the payoffs for the team are far greater using this strategy than they are to have broad slogging and occasionally getting useful runs himself if its broad & anderson left at the end then I am with you 100% on your strategy argument but it is selfish and braindead I'm afraid with a batsman of buttler's class on 70+ not out at the other end |
|
By:
eng were 150ish in front at the time in the morning session of day 3 in a test where the bowling conditions have been good
there was no necessity to advance the game at the rate broad decided he would it was selfish batting, and so typically selfish I might add |
|
By:
Really looking forward to the India series. Eng don't look like taking 20 wickets if the conditions don't heavily favor them. It doesn't take long to make them feel ordinary. And they have scored 400+ twice in their last 10 tests(one loss one draw).
