worse thing is ive gotta go out in 20mins just as this is getting interesting

trying to follow a game on the move is a pain, especially in this day and age when the games are in fast forward.

yeah,i always balls it up too (more than ususal)

another 5

is the ghost of Hansie present??

faffs away,no one cares

Babar's screeching when he calls is horrific

draw moved,then bang,straight up again
4 moreeeee

Shadab and Farheem are decent bats too

This has been an orgy of 4444444444444s with the occasional 555555555555 thrown in.

it's a good batting wicket

I like Shadab,one of me favs

Safraz trying to give catches

hmmm,this is the time,whenever they "look" ok

hate that shot in a test match, trying to upper cut it over the keeper. Fair enough if you are batting with 9,10 jack but it's low percentage shot

feel a run out incoming

another 200 and the draw might break 40

well done Sarfraz,rode his luck but hey ho

ffs i gotta go,who has birthday p1ss ups in January ffs

sarfraz gone...he mustve been on 50 and out

look at the BPL game - 19 needed off the last

. 6 W 6 6

here's a game to keep draw backers feeling hopeful!!

It’s terrible cricket, yes.

So is that.

FFS Pakistan!

LEGIT

run out of adjectives to describe these feckers

theyve played throughout like that. it was looking fine when it was going their way. This was bound to happen.

i did back them at 1.38 but layed off all of it after sarfraz wicket

they must have a flight to Mecca planned for tomorrow

I keep laying the Saffers, starting to myself into a bit of bover in this game now

On a good batting wicket just play normal shots. So disappointing.

yeh you don't need to manufacture shots on day 2 of a test match

Another Pak first innings, another scissors abortion job.

If this is the best teams can muster re application then it's time to put test cricket to bed.
2/3 day test can't go on, might as well play more moronic odis and t20s instead

you can't call this test cricket, it's pretty much a farce

I've done proper my nuts on this. 500 down.

Backing draw at 10s for 500 stake.
Laying pak at 16 for 150 stake.

Proper mug bet that second one. Had two chances to get out of that bet at 20+.

I hope SA get 500, these pakis deserve nowt

SA dropped 5 catches! Those too of proper batsmen. They've already batted twice and managed 180 odd. Just don't put your money on them now

no surprise to see flies around sh1t

REPORTED

Saffer at home,market notoriously stubborn in recent years,decade.

FS i was thinking of the vicious circle hyperinflation would bring to the housing market.These banks are never properly capitalized.

Sorry cricket folk.

cant see much downside on taking all the 390/370/340 that was going

Uncompetitive series are no good

Agree C/S. But there is a chance not much play next two days , the storms they are a coming

Just looked in on this to find Pak are 54 for 0 

This game is on , got another two days to get the runs plus the weather is really bad as well

im too scared to say owt

well the late afternoon tumble was expected...its nothing we havent seen before

There has to be some semblance of a chance for Pak here.

Current run rate suggests this will be over in 60 overs one way or another. Can't see it slowing down either with the batsmen to come.
I had a dabble at 20s and 30s yesterday.
Will let it run and see what happens

Money pouring in on SA last 30 mins, hope its not Pakistan money!

Good luck guys, am on as well on all the fancy prices.Silly really isnt it Juice about the scoring rate although I know you are right, but they have got 2 whole days to get these runs...Where have all the Bocott ish batsman gone?

1.15 - 1.1 that is HUGE

when i woke up at 7 they were 1.14
GL all

this is looking very whiffy already.
Almost a wicket taken before play!

i was hoping for rain

The high RR negates the second new ball. With no spinner SA could be in a spot of bother.

If one of them misses a straight one or holes out in 1st over I will never trade Pak again.

Coming back up now though!

That shot was mad!!!

That shot was mad!!!

jees,nearly spat my tea out

When I was talking about the rr it was more to do with the fact that they only need to bat 60 overs and they will win.
That's why I thought they were decent odds, all things being even.
The outfield is rapid and the ball is coming on nicely.
Just depends how many nonsensical shots they play.
Yesterday all three wickets were 'bowlers' wickets ie, defensive shots etc.

If Eng were playing I would expect them to win comfortably from here on this wicket with their current side

well played Asad 50 up

so many boundaries in this game, it's like Edgbaston!

It's the hope that kill ya

indeed juce,indeed

Yep agreed , sort of takes over all reasoning.....

One things for sure, if they go short I will be laying them to the moon and back. They are the masters of bursting short odds

ah well...now to burn all the green chasing price down

There is the odd brute on this deck

all over now

That didn't last long

the man himself enters the arena

1st baller for Sarfraz
bed still warm

Now we know who was backing S/A

that was poor batting

Mrs Sarfraz makes another killing

Oh well I get £35 off a SA win which is a slight improvement on the day. 10 mins ago I had £200 red on SA

I've ended up losing far more than I wanted to as I've had very little interest in this series.

Olivier's improvement is impressive.

last decent test chase was WI against Eng and that's a long time ago now

Major flaw in Pak batting is trying to play the short ball rather than ducking.
Costs them every time they play on bouncy decks

cant be assed  with Big bash either

It would be classic Pak if they ended up in a position to win again with SA at 1.2 and beyond.

If you're not going to hook, you just have to be preset to duck anything short. Trying to play a short ball in front of your face with your hands up is impossible

pitch has been up and down this morning

as expected,wasnt even any hope

Shadab Khan showing just a modest contribution from their middle order and Pak would have gotten these.

Yeh frustrating especially regarding the frequency of wickets.
I needed 1.29 to scratch out and was close a couple of times

Not a good game for me. 800 down. As always, not thinking clearly after winning big. Gave all the Sydney winnings away.

As I hinted way back in thread, the deal was done.

Yes, I do believe that. They are very well capable of ducking,just not a cricket ball.

Pecker Plc did not get involved.

Down £800 that is a sickener whether its euros or pounds, I had a £1500 loss last year via a reverse and double reverse gone wrong.  I bounced back you can too.

Yes yes I shall recover. No test cricket and tennis going on...recipe for disaster.
