draw went a bits nuts for awhile, still needs some adjusting

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 09 Feb 19 18:47

Draw is still higher than when this partnership cam together 68 blls ago

By:

peckerdunne When: 09 Feb 19 18:50

Odd, isn’t it, especially given that they’ve crawled along (as as the over rate, obviously)? It’s looked hard batting and the market has essentially decided that England will wipe the WI batting out on this. That could happen but feels an amazingly low England price and rather a long draw, from the trading point of view, albeit that it’s not drawn once in 10 times if you’re betting for outcome.

Yep and both a slow scoring rate and a slow over rate. They won’t get them all in, by any stretch. Might just be light issues too, given a bit of time lost earlier.

agree fats...he averages 16 (sixteen ) against seamincredible he still has a place in this teammy comment was referring to a comment nass made about jennings being out of nickit sounded to be like he was defending him, like there is promise of better to comeI see no evidence whatsoever of thisalthough on reflection I think nass was probably just feeling sorry for him knowing that everybody is going to be nailing him so no need for another savage assassination

Sure, I understood what you meant. I just wanted to put the boot in too and gave me a chance.

FFS just when I'm getting my green back it goes away again.

By:

not exactly a responsible captain is he

By:

wondersobright When: 09 Feb 19 19:09

if burns (surrey captain) gets established he'll be the next england captain imo

I could green here as got a lot of very low draw lays but far worse off than I should be. Had some lays at 7.8 taken but not all, sadly.

Think you should try to cut away short, wide balls. Sometimes it will go wrong, as will cover driving half volleys but you have to play shots with a positive EV.

unfortunately it is inversely proportional to my bank(or lack thereof)
unlike the proliferation of top pros on here
guess i'll have to remain a potless wordsmith

Root is a boy amongst boys..not even worth his place in the side as a batsman let alone captain
but to cut him some slack is a good fit amongst the general mediocrity

By:

posy When: 09 Feb 19 19:15

can someone please enlighten me why england at 114/4 are 1.65. I'd have thought evens more realistic.

By:

mafeking When: 09 Feb 19 19:28

the outfield's like treacle for a kick off. that score's worth a fair few more

By:

peckerdunne When: 09 Feb 19 19:31

I wouldn't recommend that shot at that height 3 down and just prior to tea

By:

peckerdunne When: 09 Feb 19 19:37

i like Johnny's wordsmithery but down the pub i be told to fcuk off, clearly not the conservative club..

He’s not exactly having a great series but he’s our best batsman by an utter mile (okay, the others are at best patchy) and would make every test side in the world as at worst the second named batsman in. Come on man!

By:

peckerdunne When: 09 Feb 19 19:47

disagree that he is world class yet, a lot to learn,he aint Kohli or Kallis etc

By:

wondersobright When: 09 Feb 19 19:59

he's going through a sustained lean spell but you don't average the thick end of 50 from 79 test matches unless you are world class

By:

mafeking When: 09 Feb 19 19:59

there's hardly been a decent surface to bat on in an england test in the last year. basically the side winning the toss, batting first and making any sort of reasonable score has won virtually every match. 300 probably well above average for first inns of the match. not been easy for batsmen at all

i use to sleep with my no 1 hurley, the other 5 were in the outhouse

i always kept 6 when others had 3, my eyes were always peeled and i would root

through any sack i should come across

By:

i suppose thats true Wonders, i am a hard task master...standards must be kept

By:

peckerdunne When: 09 Feb 19 20:03

How low can England's price fall?

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 09 Feb 19 20:33

But like before you can't relax at all coz 2,3 or 4 quick wickets can alway be around the corner.

Down to 1.30 then the draw has to get its skates in a big way.
