Australia vs India, 3rd Test

Why did the Australia price drop from 1.70 to 1.55 in 15 minutes? Even though it has not started.

Won the toss.

5.5 India..........tyvm........vvm..........

5.8 Ah gwan gwan

I understand the bounce back factor for Aus. however they are a lay for me at $1.55
I fancy being able to get on them at $2.50 plus in the run

Had a lay of Aus straight off - can see little downside for a while.  Not my normal approach (I'm a "wait and see" merchant, nibble at the edges).

7.6  yeah baby, i will

backed 5.5 draw for less

Cant see Oz being sub 1.5 all match

BBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYY

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The odds are a bit surprising, apart from one shambolic innings India have easily been the better team this series.

Shocking from Warner ...shame
I’m having trouble posting here ffs

pecker beforetimed
good call lad

what a shame his name doesn't begin with an F

Fucovski would be one of the great sporting names

up there with ****z  and others i cant remember

Ku*tz

radar saying this might be around for a while
comms saying its stopped

met office forecast was closest,predicted rain at 1pm

radar was right,more rain

Marning All!

Going to probably watch the last episode of Vikings, maybe enjoy the show in America and I have left the ribeye out to warm up. hope to get 4 hours cricket later

morning WD,good to see your still working them night-shifts...juce would be proud of ye
ribeye for dinner eh,they must pay double bubble
20 minutes til play apparently

wtf is this UKC
Yuvraj v KP indoor slogfest on tarmac
grant would love this filth

alright Tel!

Where there's Tesco there's life

Although Aldi screwed me today. Went in for 12 bottles of Chateauneuf Du Pape @40% off but they didn't have any so got Mrs 'Death 6 bottles of Barolo and 6 bottles of a cheeky Sangiovese she likes.

Came home and tried to buy the Chateauneuf online. Got it into my basket but got distracted but came back and it was sold out!

On the rum and coke for now!

FFS what time is 3pm in English?

4am I think, but you'd think BT would have switched by now.

We're back.

thank gawd..i was just nodding off
good to hear the booze is flowing WD

3 and a half hours with tea in the price

runs flowing here.India need to keep em squeezed

ooh la la beauty from Bumrah

Was just going to say this is a batting pitch.

Like the look of Pucovski but got a feeling he won’t be able to play Ashwin.

his front pad coming across sets the alarm bells ringing but he looks like he has so much natural time on the shot,impressive.

I think so too but his let’s see how he handles Ashwin. But yeah I like the cut of his jib!

i really dig the mullet too

A little early to call perhaps but the only way India win this is by batting big in their first innings. I don’t think I would want to bat last here. A good toss to win for Aussie

Hello sailor

Draw on the move! I am on 4.35 for now

agree,im hoping for a draw drop today then tomorrows forecast to get better overnight and lay the draw
this will turn for Ashwin and Jadeja and the Aus attack can always turn u over

Gilcrist moaning about the run-rate ..if anyone can i suppose

dropped

good call,Ashwin had him there shame Pant didnt get hold of it

not out...Pant drops another

ffs India missed easy run out and Bumrah might have fooked his ankle
2 dropped one p!ss easty run out

debut 50 for Pucovski

booom...
well done Saini

Pitch not really showing like it is going to spin but all the Comms say it will. Aus could well bat beyond tea tomorrow. India will likely bat day 3 and hopefully much of 4. Still think the draw is a play

One or two balls have started spinning.

The game is really already about can India save this match ( unlikely they will skittle Aus tomorrow morning ).

Aus certainly have the better of the batting conditions. A score of over 450 is on the cards. I think Australia could bowl India out twice on this deck between days 3-5. The question is can India bat well on day 3 to lower the draw price.

How low will the Australia price reduce in relation to the draw price?

I am 4.26 The Draw. My head says get out and wait for another day but my heart says GAMBLE!

starts half hour early tonight
not much on the radar,some sites saying a shower in the morning maybe
pitch not doing nowt just some slow turn so im expecting a big aussie score...watching smiff and labu fidgeting and squeaking all day is quite irritating but i have plenty of refreshments..jealousy is a horrible emotion
betting wise ive not done much except back/lay aussies on wickets and made a few beers as price never moved much,and a few draw plays
Ashwin bowled superbly early on until Smith started to attack him so looking forward to that contest
hoping to lay the draw at some point but at the mo i think it could be a runner if aussies dont score too quick

Gl all

Tried to watch this test 3 times and it's been rain-rain-lunch

Bit annoyed myself at not backing India at 20 odd and also bought back my Aussie lay for a small loss!

Still sitting on my draw. All depends on Lyon. I really need India to bat for the best part of two days!

This kid picks up length really early. If he starts moving his feet better he could be awesome!

here we go again
come on India

where da fook is everyone
im lonely

Cummins bang on the money straight up

Does seem to make the batsmen play a lot

he's a superb cricketer imo,had loads of injuries at start of his career so we are lucky we get to see him at all

tense proper test cricket

wade drops a tough chance

jinky plays on

Hi from Mitcham, Tel - I've been lurking, but I keep dozing off.

I got massive odds on India yesterday but fell asleep and missed the low 3s.
Squared off at 5.1 for a free bet but a bit miffed that I didn't bank a good level profit.
Need an Aus collapse here. Don't fancy being a victim of the 'Uncrushable Gas Man'.

hey VV greetings from freezing cold epsom here... good to hear your surviving the bug..no fking pubs open

similar to you ive nodding off quite a bit so not pulled up any trees here..im sure the chat on here used to keep me awake

enjoyed the session last night...Pant was going well until he took a whack on the arm...a superb run out by Hazlewood at a crucial time took the mo away from India which was a shame but must credit the aussies with relentless line and length from Cummins and Hazlewwod and similar to the aussies India fell away on the 2nd new ball..just as they hit 1.96-1.98
strange draw drop today...im sure it was 18's this morning
could be painful viewing with smiff and Uncrushable Gas Man squeaking away at the crease playing with themselves

real shame India are a few players missing especially Shami and Virat

GL all
long live the KING

Had assumed rain in Sydney justifying the draw coming in so much.  I laid it early this game in the 6s, again in the 3s, although took that back off a tick or so higher and have traded between 19.5 and 18 since waking up this morning at 5 to discover a nice position.  Overall on for small beer though, just winning £500 on a result for a bit over £2k draw red.

i dithered as per when draw was in 4's and dozed off and woke up to it 17's,standard

draw still dropping and nowt in forecast or radar...i hope it will keep coming and lay again

dropped a sitter 2nd ball

dislocated left thumb for sir J
Pant not keeping but should bat according to the comms

Could be good finish

Hello boys!

Indians being tenderised.

I think Aussie will win but this is a finger nails job.

Was going to say glad there are neutral umpires Reifel is a good umpire.

He is a gun

Bottled it. Cleared Aussie red. Still decent green on Draw and India and small green on Aussie now.

Real edge of the seat stuff. I was imploring Pant not to go for his hundred with a big shot. Would have one helluva game if he batted on for a little longer.

I love DRS

Aussies cannot intimidate Umpires.

Aussie sledging tis verging on cheating again. Poor sportsmen these Aussies.

Looks like India dipped pretty low whilst I'd dozed off briefly so I missed an opportunity AGAIN.
Forgot to set even some modest resting bets. I'm so out of practice.

Grrrrr!!!

Paine would be better of concentrating on keeping rather than talking crap.

Paine dropped at least 3 today, they should drop him for Wade.

Schadenfreude

and Poetic justice.

Mean spirited sledging from Tim Paine and drops a catch from virtually out of first slips hands!

I sacrificed half my draw green to green out but as Health Insurance it was almost worth it!

Hanuma Tavare

Great Test Match,

Well done everybody!

they held on!
i bet juce wouldve been all over this one
i fell asleep shortly after a great knock from Pant and thought they were doomed
i see India at 3.7 when Pant was smashing Lyon around
India squad full of injuries but onto Brisbane we march
so much cricket on

hmmmmm,whats smiff upto now

Hanuma Vihari     not out    23    161    161    4    0    14.29

Smith you sneaky little cccuunntttttttttt   

It’s not head butting the line

It is not crossing the line

There is no longer a line

........for them

Cheating!

He should be banned for that!

Fantastic Test match and a fair result. Outstanding batting performances by Marnus and Smithy with the Indian batsman showing superb courage.Thought Pujara, Pant and Vihari were excellent especially the latter with a torn hamstring. They really did deserve the draw. Roll on to the Gabba.

Good grief!

Did Try My Best Ashley venture an opinion on cricket?

Tim Paine apologises for sledging and defends Steve Smith pitch scuffing:

Says Smith always scuffs the crease

unreal...full of sh1te!!

at least he spared us the gut wrenching crocodile tears this time

It's a bit of sledging for christ's sake. Has gone on for 100 years. Ashwin gave as good as he got. Proper hard sport and great that there is an edge. God knows why he's apologising. Still everyone gets offended these days. Powder puff society. Makes for a great test series. I'm sure the Indians will be all over the Aussies when they next tour in India. That's professional cricket and they will have to suck it up and get on with it.

nowt wrong with a bit of sledging
its the swearing at the umpire and raking of the crease i find disrespectful and extremely unprofessional against the game of cricket.

i guess i should just be happy he didn't cry

You can't expect fair play from these criminals. it's in their DNA. They don't think there is anything wrong with Smith cheating.

Did nothing wrong and no action taken. End of story.

Do you not remember Mike Gatting throwing a spate of expletives in Umire Rana's face or do you only bing it up when it's the Aussies

bring

Total hypocrisy as usual and absolutely no idea or clue about the game or the history of the game. Talk some sense for once in your lives lads. Well done Whispering on the last test. That is the first winning bet or forecast that I have seen from you in the last 5 years. You don't drink chateau neuf- du-pape mate you can't afford it seeing your betting history. Read up about the game  and the history of the game in the lockdown. It's a great opportunity for you all to talk from a position of strength rather than coming out with total garbage.

When I come off here and listen to our national hero Warney it restores my faith in test match cricket. So much knowledge. The greatest.

Great tribute to Deano from the starship troopers. Legend and a great guy.

I think you must drink tenants extra

I have never seen you post anything about cricket before a match starts and just abusive drivel when they end.

What a waste of life you truly are

How would you know about my betting history Try My Best?

Why would you lie?

You made a claim you know nothing about. That makes you a liar.

You are the biggest fantasist on here spud. Your dearth of knowledge about the great game is alarming. Tip for you. Don't bet on anything that you know nothing about. Then you might be able to afford the odd bottle of Chateau neuf-du-pape. Looking out for your interests. Don't think you're a bad lad just misguided. Trying to impart some wisdom to you which hopefully you will take some time to reflect on. Don't want to see anyone go skint.

You are the biggest fantasist on here spud.

Not even close to Peckerdunne!!
