Makes me laugh when they say the old guys were quicker in the 70's.
Absolute bollox, just much dodgier pitches .
Everybody appears 10 mph quicker when the ball is jumping off a length

High odds on draw/sl, wouldn't need a huge bet to have that book. 3k on Aus too would imply much larger bets

I think people have done some work with the old footage and demonstrated that they were actually slower in the day. Stands to reason that fast bowling would be quicker, given people run faster, jump higher (or further) etc.

Setting up a quick physio check again just before lunch to ensure no jucel wicket in the extra over. Clever.

Doctor just nipped back to lay the draw and he's remonstrating with Perera now!

Sure but it’s still suggestive of some progress, I think. Having £3k draw is worth £1k on results.

By:

Fatslogger When: 03 Feb 19 00:23

Well, it was near to that. Not now!

By:

detraveller When: 03 Feb 19 00:24

Well, I usually had a 500/1k bank only. But i've been profitable since August at least and have moved it to 1.5k, which grew to 2.8 and then down to 2 now.

I think i'm getting much better in not repeating my mistakes but made a big one in the Eng game and paid a massive price(800). The fact that in the last two months I have lost 2400 bucks on three separate tests with a 1.5k bank and still in profit shows im doing a lot of things right(except when im not

)

Fatslogger When: 03 Feb 19 00:25

Market got quite excited about that retirement but I didn’t quite get a useful amount of 1.23 laid.

By:

detraveller When: 03 Feb 19 00:25

As for this game, I had a 700 bucks back of the draw averaging about 17, cashing out at 10. Then a lay of Aus from 1.12 to 1.2(for a liability of around 500)

By:

Fatslogger When: 03 Feb 19 00:27

You laid England at 6.x just before they took 2 wickets, det? Then redded it out?

By:

detraveller When: 03 Feb 19 00:29

Yes Fats. I actually backed them small at 4.8. They immediately flew out to 6.

So I thought i'll get smart and lay them massively(about 1.2k liability) for a few ticks. I've done that a lot in the past and knew at the time of placing the bet it was wrong. But I got greedy looking for a few ticks for no reason.

I redded out that bet at 2.8!!!!

jucel69 When: 03 Feb 19 00:29

Wonder if WI will be allowed to prepare pitches like that when the Injuns go soon??!

The Injuns will probably tell them they will only play in Trinidad or Providence.
The told the Aussies they wouldn't play in Brisbane and refused a D/N game in Adelaide.
Way too much power

These Lankan morons are annoying me, I must be crazy thinking they were capable off a Darren Bravo type knock.

Stokes and Broad are tall and did well. Currans is having a torrid tour. Would have been brave selection to leave him out after his heroics against India but bringing Woakes in gives you a better batsman and bowler, in my view.

Nobody has got out yet! I don’t think they’ve done too badly.

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Feb 19 00:35

You know my views on Woakes!! That thing he does with his hair after each delivery is very annoying too!

By:

jucel69 When: 03 Feb 19 00:36

the market doesn't know what to do!

By:

detraveller When: 03 Feb 19 00:36

I thought the first test performance by Eng was just an odd bad outing. But they followed it up with a worse one. No intention to bat long. Bravo made 50 only but probably was the difference between an almost innings victory and a defeat even.

I've just watched the highlights but absolutely abysmal.
8 wickets to Royston in the first game was a national disgrace

Karu looked good since he came back out. Couple of really nice shots to welcome Starc back.

By:

price not wanting to break out any time soon it seems. Detraveller cashes out. Well played young man.

Kusal Perera retiring is equaivalent to 2 wickts...he will likely not bat again DEVASTATING BLOW!
