a most enjoyable day of test creekit

By:
superb day

Stokes showing class here, even though some might slate him....and if he got out now not scoring..
|
|
By:
as long as they keep wkts in hand they can hopefully up the run rate with the new ball hitting the bat that much harder tomorrow
its not impossible but i still think very unlikely we will win ... but at least hope survives |
|
By:
They live to fight another day
 But don't forget, it's the hope that kills you  |
|
By:
The hope will fade with the new ball I think
Probably going to lose by 100 runs which makes the 67 that much worse IF only |

Watching Tom Banton bat after the Stokes blockathon
 |
|
By:
what a leave, get him in the test team!
|
|
By:
We need Stokes there to block the ball for 200 balls
root chips away at it and job done |

Is it like rope a dope?, get a low score first innings, give the Aussies a lot of confidence and not bother too much, then go for the big score.
|
|
By:
More like dope a dope. Two sides with weak batting line ups.
|
|
By:
banton will play some white ball cricket for england this winter. think IPL scouts already have him on their radar. big things expected

Bowling team always wins.

By:
i fully expect england to lose, but if they were to win where would their odds to win the ashes settle before the fourth test?
|
|
By:
i would reckon something like 2.8 eng 3.6 oz 2.7 drawn series assuming smith returns although you have to think if would difficult for australia to lift themselves off the floor
|
|
By:
in which case eng ought to be about 9 to win the ashes at the moment.
|
|
By:
think england would be around 2.1 for old trafford if they won and oz 2.5 . jimmy anderson probably back instead of woakes too
|

By:
This is how India batted against Aus
Just a slow grind, putting value on your wicket and being bowled out, rather than getting yourself out. Shame it's taken so long for the penny to drop. Aus have such a poor batting lineup that you don't need to play high risk cricket with the bat to stay in the game. In fact playing like that is the only way you lose! Even if we had only got 150 in the first dig, we would have had this game by the balls. |

stokes 2 off 50, wtf is that? did he think it was day 4 and playing for a thai?? |
|
By:
Stokes was channelling his inner wall
It was like watching Monty at Cardiff  Splendid stuff |

thinking of laying england here at 3.35, and backing test match end 4th day evening at 3.6.if england do win itll be more or less certainly evening session tonight, so id make a small profit, now if australia skittle them out this morning/ afternoon i break even, and if aus win evening session i would win on both bets wouldnt i? Dont see a downside to this unless eng win morning/ or afternoon. Does anyone see another scenario here, that im missing ? ive been up at 5.00 cricket and ending at 11.00 pm for the last 3 days and i have made some silly tired mistakes, like going to sleep during eng v aus yesterday

England are "in with a real shout" of completing their highest fourth-innings chase and beating Australia to level the Ashes, says batsman Joe Denly.
Shout Shout Let it all out "I rate our chances very highly," said Denly. "There are not too many demons in the pitch - we are in a very good position. "There is a lot of belief in that changing room and excitement going into tomorrow." These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on "We were disappointed with the 67 and it was not good enough but it's about showing character and fight in this second innings," Denly said. "We believe. If we get one or two more partnerships tomorrow, we're in with a real shout." In violent times You shouldn't have to sell your soul In black and white They really really ought to know Batsman Marnus Labuschagne said he has "no doubt" Australia, who lead the five-match series 1-0, will win if they bowl in a similar fashion on Sunday. "The wicket has flattened out a bit, we have the new ball due in eight overs which is good for us," he said. "We have got to stick to our process, shut that scoreboard down and challenge both edges of the bat ball in, ball out." Those one track minds That took you for a working boy Kiss them goodbye You shouldn't have to jump for joy You shouldn't have to shout for joy Who will be shouting the loudest at Headingly around tea time today ? Don't forget to say you will Yeah, don't forget to shout Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah |

not going silly on it , but ive layed eng at 3.3(not matched yet)liability £115, and back 4 th day evening at 3.6 for £ 50, profit £130. worse scenario england win mor/ afternoon i lose £165, eng win tonight i win£15, aus win mor/aft i break even, aus win tonight i win £180.(minus comm). im in good position on the 3 outcomes of this test , so gone for it.

1.43 seems huge to me...i reckon prob should be around 1.25..ive got a decent book but i really should be lumping a bit more on them...trying to work out how much more i would be happy to lose to see England win and set up a fantastic series (prob another couple of grand).
England £3,627.38 Australia £7,562.67 The Draw £17,566.05 |
|
By:
very nice eric.
england £600 + draw £3000+ aus £300+ but thinking of laying a ton england , so my profit on both would be around £400. |
|
By:
Cant level up on england at these prices. If the new ball doesnt create chances pronto I'll start to capitulate at that point and slowly give back aussie green. Dont really want any england green ever today.
|
|
By:
what do you reckon(value wise) lay england at 3.55 or lay england (2nd innings runs 325 or more) at 2.7 ?
|
|
By:
personally i would lay eng, coz i see them getting 325, but not winning the match, decisions, decisions! , trouble is england score 20 runs without losing a wkt, they,ll probably go under 3s.
|
|
By:
I laid £300 at 2.6 as that definitely felt too short...want to lay another 1700...and although i think there is a very good chance of england getting skittled quickly this morning...if i lay the rest at (325 and more) and England get it and still lose it would be doubly hard to stomach...prob best to lay them outright
|
|
By:
eric just lay aus at 1.4 for 2000 and eng win 5627 and aus win you 6762., and enjoy the match.
 |
|
By:
This is a different day, a new ball, and I can see England getting rolled over. That woould be typical of how this team bats, good one day and poor the next. I hope this doesn't happen and I hope I'm proved wrong.

By:
Only 39 miles to Sheffield from Leeds, take inspiration from Cliff Thorburn at The Crucible and grind it out. Ball by ball, run by run
|
|
By:
what do Draw backers expect to happen an earthquake ??
|
|
By:
yes the grinder, him and terry griffiths /steady eddie had some battles , 2.00 / 3.00 am finishes, great times.

Smith update
Australia batsman Steve Smith batted against bowlers in the nets today for the first time since being pulling out of the Lord's Test with a delayed concussion. The session lasted 25 minutes and he also did some high intensity running. He's due to play in the tour match against Derbyshire, starting on Thursday, as preparation for the fourth Test at Old Trafford, which begins on 4 September. |
|
By:
If, somehow, England are to pull of this unlikely chase, how many of the required 203 does this pair have to add ?
100 ? 150 ? |
|
By:

By:
