Weather forecast (bbc weather) looks atrocious for days 4 and 5, I have greens on SA and draw and left a SL red, and will try and leave it alone.

got lucky laying SL 200 runs there..wasn't overly impressed with the SA bowling at the death

In fact I backed the Kiwis at 1.12 yesterday (at change of inns) which is a complete change of approach for me.Going to do it more often from now on in certain scenarios.

What kind of scenarios? Do you have an exit strategy for bets like this if they go wrong?

I think a 4 pack of super soft and a 6 pack of super strength.

Thank you laters for the 65s and Ronnie for taking one, clouds of darkness lifting.

Interesting weather play a possibility if play goes into day 4 which I guess is the big ask.
Unfortunately have not been watching this at all. Has anyone watched this game? Can it go into day 4? What is the pitch like?

I'll be losing about a 100 on this, unless we get some weather play. Didn't post earlier as was traveling the last few days and forum doesn't work on my phone.

Just back from the gym to my beloved Sri Lanka price collapse..........decisions decisions

pecker..u ain't gonna believe this cos i can barely
i laid SA 300 runs halfway Faf & DeK's near 100 stand
then laid a bit more and 325
they were 240 odd/5 with Faf and big vern just having added 50..run line was over 350
thought to myself u pr1ck u got involved way too early again and done ur b0llocks again
wrote it off went and did some shopping
just came back switched the box back on see SL 25-0
thought WTF's going on here..did they declare or smth?
see 259 all out and last 5 wkts gone for 8 runs
unreal how the tide can turn and become a tsunami with all these teams' proclivity to fold like a cheap suit
absolutely no legislating what can happen in sport and why u can never give up
because when the gods are smiling on you they smile bigtime just as much as they kick you in the b0llocks when things go awry

This is why I try to avoid backing short odds.

N1 Johnny, 5 for 8 was unreal.....im a happy pecker today

Traded this like an idiot.
Layed SA at 1.37, cashed out at 1.28.
Layed SA at 1.21 and cashout out at 1.11
Layed SA at 1.04 and cashed out at 1.03

On top of that i've contemplated about 3 trades that would have more than doubled my stake easily. All of them would have been successful if I'd pulled the trigger. But I didn't.

Anyhow, only losing 175 so nothing too bad.

Nervous times for South Africa backers

Dale Steyn is injured also

Terry Harpot: "Cricinfo informs me that today is the Whispering Death's birthday. His playing career was way before my lifetime, but his commentary stints have coincided with mine. Both on the field and off the field, his contributions will remain inseparable from the game. He is a legend of the greatest sort. The fact that he is still as reserved and humble he is amazes me.

If it was a two horse race I would back a greyhound!

Took some comedy green on the draw as there was no way on earth SL could come close to chasing this down.

I am left holding out for bad light this afternoon and Noah tomorrow!

South Africa's recent record at the ground is staggering.1 win in 8,with 6 losses.

Sounds like Lords for England

I think they will try and get as many as possible in the next 17 overs.
Maybe even go for 5/6 an over which means the new ball will not be a factor

Not following but maybe SA should have saved Rabada for the new ball. Like you said it may happen quick as SL realise they must get closer before the new ball to give the tailenders a chance against a hard ball that will travel and edges and cow corner wallops may bring quick runs and pressure on the fielding side, Captain and bowlers.

batting side never wins in this scenario

Shame.Next 2 men in showed some balls in 1st dig though.

Making a good win here. My lowest green is five times the maximum amount risked from earlier in the match.

this is something

What a innings this is!

This is how Test cricket should be.

win or lose, this has been a great knock

done my b0llocks laying 250 & 275..what an inns and match..hope SL do it now

so glad i greened up from my SA Lump , best betting decision ive made in ages, i would be having kittens now if a hadnt.

AFRICA TO WIN BY 5 RUNS

SL traded at 400+ within the last hour or so, now under 3s!!

what did they say..stoker?

no T20 gubbings for ages but a few test match ones in the last 6 months
Pakis, NZ and now Saffers

(Borrowed from Guerilla cricket) SL only get one batsman like that per era.

Paraphasing but that they'd be fine with Philander at 7 because it was only Sri Lanka and they'd bolster their batting against better sides.

Hey jucel - now you should treat yourself to a "lady of negotiable virtue". (Was that your expression, or FS?)

TEST CRICKET THE MUDDER FCUKING GOAT.........................I FEEL PUMPED

OK..i think their batting's fragile and they ain't as good at bowling as they think they are even on their own turf

people were backing the draw, thinking it was the same as a thai
Got backed into 50s!

Vern being injured played a part but I agree with the batting. Ever since Amla's massive decline and AB gone merc awol, they have been sh1t

Remember they got annihilated in SL too

This is why you should always leave unlikely bets up in Tests. I remember a Bangers game where the odds mysteriously crashed to about evens twice for no obvious reason.

Samaritans' phones ringing off the hook in Cape Town

No idea the draw got backed in again.........

cant see much behind the curtains looking out at the birds............

that's a f*cking nice touch..juce..get urself up to Pattaya for a few days,man

Make no bones about it too, SL are absolute dogsh1t

still 70k down since Sydney test so no parties yet !!

Samaritans searching for other samaritans'

got some skin back in the game though.
If I'd had a decent bank I would have made a load more on that, que sera and all that.
Just chuffed not to be rolling in the gutters of Thailand after the last 6 weeks

Nice work juce!!

I made £72 and feel quite pleased

That was unreal. So very rare to see a successful run chase from that position. Staggering innings. He had to hit sixes to limit the number of balls his mate had to face. And he did.

Won't see anything like that again for quite some time.
The other Perera nearly did it against the Kiwis last month but just got out at the end.
Assumed that would happen here too

i thought Fernando was magnificent in ensuring Perrera didn't face too many deliveries

They are a crap side but won me a lot in the last 6 months.

27 balls, no mean feat for 'jack'

It’s certainly a phrase I use, although not generally to women. Glad to hear people won on this. I made £500 from the lay of SA that I said was a bad idea way up in the thread end day 1.

So. Wtf happened this game?

Being the idiot that I am, I had put my whole bank(2.1k) on South Africa at about 1.0x something(This has to be the last time I did something like this). I thought i'd just walk the dog. But I decided to take a look in the lunch break and thought good enough, 5 down already. But the required runs looked gettable to me. Post lunch, I decided to look at the odds and was suprised SA were still 1.27. I could cash out for only about 800 loss. And I did. THen I laid them for 300 more to get an 1100 red on SA and 1800 green on SL.

Everything looked to be pointing to a SL win but then Maharaj struck. I layed SA more, up to 1200 red now with SL green to 2500. Then he fking struck again. I was so p1ssed I shut everything down and went to a friend.

Next time I checked, SL needed 14 to win. I ran like a crazy modafoka. 1600 win! My biggest ever win and biggest ever fluke.

Nice work detraveller! Although you ignored forum advice. You 'went to a friend'. That's poor.

Walk the dog. ALWAYS walk the dog...

Most of DT's 'friends' are middle aged fraulines with big knockers
