This is just embarrassing.
Afghan are the only Test team never to have been dismissed for under 100 runs, apparently. Today could be the day they lose that honour.
Shame really cos it's good to watch a Test match on TV for free, though the price you pay here is the incredibly annoying and frequent FreeSports.tv theme tune.

2 test starting 5.30 this morning, not sure if ive seen the draw priced as big as 18/1 at the start of a match before, couple of wicketless overs be single figures.

Yeah I was intrigued by the draw price, but not intigued enough to set my slarm for 5:30 to see what the pitch looked like.
Pondering how low Afghan can go here, esp with all that room in the draw price[:mischief:  |

Re the draw price, it’s almost if people have taken notice of Cruncyfrog’s excellent thread of 12 years standing and thought to themselves, “He might be onto something, here”

By:
anyway, switched on the telly and the pitch looks ok, perhaps the market doesn't believe the batsmen of Afghan/Zim have the skills and concentration levels that you find amongst top teams such as England which allows them to compile big totals on a regular basis
.anyway a small back of the draw at 14.5 it is. |

By:
I can't resist a big draw price on what looks to be an ok track so far
Pretty sticky prices at present |

Comms are doing their best to ramp the draw

By:
Umps are always absolutely desperate to squeeze an extra over in before a break. They almost sprint to their positions and it normally triggers a wicket.

Welcome back Juce, thought you'd got the perma ban stick!

and market will have a massive hard on for Rashid Khan bowling
|
|
By:
Draw still seems too big - market probably over emphasising the impact Rashid Khan will have based on his pyjama bowling
|
|
By:
2 sessions and one wicket later and the draw is 9.2, I definitely got this wrong, reading markets is as important as reading conditions in test matches, I didn't think the market would be this keen on the Afghans.

By:
Pitch still looking incredibly flat, could get a very nice run on the draw price when Zimbabwe bat
|
|
By:
Need to put their foot down if they're planning on declaring tonight
|
|
By:
Yeah Afghan price steady since it reached 1.13, don’t think it would take much of an opening stand for it to start reversing.
400/1+ on Zim looks ok, Afghan do need to win, so if Zim get a decent first innings total, Afghan might have to set them something vaguely chaseable. |
|
By:
I wouldn't back Eng at 1.13 from this position, never mind the hounds
|
|
By:
... obvs there are other scenarios for the possibility of a Zim win, but they require a bit of imagination
 |
|
By:
One over without a wicket from Radish and it will drops from 9s to 5s
|
|
By:
Such a slow pitch you can just play everything off the back foot

Can we trust these mug zimbabwe batsmen not to collapse in a heap

CHAAARGE

So how long do Afgan intend to bat here, I think it's given that the lad will be allowed to get his 200, but how many overs would they want at Zim tonight, I'm guessing not many if any!
|
|
By:
The "consortium" are making sure we have to see an over of Radish before there is any movement
|
|
By:
Normally you get a nice draw move when the batting team are faffing about before a declaration
|
|
By:
Declare when he gets his 200 hopefully

Not even had a quick slog for 30 mins or so

Can't understand why you don't finish the over, it makes zero difference
