Yeah I might consider clearing red in case it flattens out of India collapse again but I usually do my business and let it ride so may well have some lunch and get in the gin and tonic although I am supposed to be off the booze during the week!

One more wicket, please - keep this match honest.

Ashwin won't like Jansen much here.

Quite like the India price at 1.57 here

!I haven't got a scooby. SA could knock India over here and do a Wanderers! Fantastic series. Sorry but I have to say it again! |
|
By:
Incredible series, one of best in recent memory!
|
|
By:
India price to back...
Pant innings is an outlier among every other contribution in this match. |
|
By:
200 lead and it'll have to be another Wanderers.
It'd already be third or fourth highest ever successful chase at Newlands? Another fifty odd, it's the second highest and there must have been flatter decks than this. |
|
By:
Hey, they did it last time, they can do it again but I wouldn't mind being on India here anywhere above 1.5.
|
|
By:
Also, after my rabbit-in-headlights, dismal first-ball-of-the-day efforts this morning...
I got super lucky a while back. |
|
By:
Laid India at 1.29 after a Pant single put Kohli on strike (who wasn't really scoring) against an Ngidi (who wasn't really conceding)...
Largely to scalp a comfortable 1.3 when a gap had appeared. Next delivery, Kohli exited left. ![]() |

By:
Gambling like cricket...The Gods!
Another wicket! |
|
By:
You can top up!
I shall wait for a Panty onslaught before I lay! Ashley no I won't, ride Sally ride! |
|
By:
But I am staying off the Gin today! Good man. I knew I did not have a problem! Tea second, best drink of the day midweek afte Java Sumatra!
|
|
By:
The other thing is SA have held some magnificent catches and most edges have gone to fielders!
|
|
By:
Not convinced at all by turning down runs, here.
|
|
By:
He's a lot, but he's not Stokes.
(and the situation is vastly different!) He doesn't need to revert to slogging |
|
By:
That should be Shami's (who should be in now) job
|
|
By:
![]() Anh you are absolutely right ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What a shot! |
|
By:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() one bounce! following the 666666666666666666 |
|
By:
Umesh is a bit of a todger too but yes I agree with you. I might have put in Bumrah just to hang around but ashley a few scoring shots changes the complexion of the match and thinking of all the players!
|
|
By:
I know Stokes won that Ashes Test at Headingly and the World Cup and those two innings alone particularly Headingly I will never forget
But I think Pant has already won more Test Matches than Stokes |
|
By:
You back in yet apt?
|
|
By:
Just got 1.74
![]() |
|
By:
I agree re. matches won but Stokes has the game to block 4/5 every over and manipulate the end of every over...reliably.
|
|
By:
And demolish the bad ball in those 4/5.
|
|
By:
Can Stokes throw the bat in one direction and hit the ball for four in the other?

By:
I love Pant, I thought he'd win India the match if he came off and I still do...

By:
I mean, I'm sure he actually can but

|
By:
For clarity, sold the 1.74 back at 1.69 (no riding, here. Heart still faint)
|
|
By:
I have backed them for a tickle on the Sportsbook (to hex them like I managed in Jo'burg
) |
|
By:
I really hope he gets his hundred. He has four 90's!
|
|
By:
I would send out a drink for him with orders to make his hundred without going batsheite crazy.
|
|
By:
Definitely deserves it, been an excellent dig given the circumstances.
|
|
By:
What would've been guesses at the India price with a 200 lead?
Personally, would've been way out. |
|
By:
Nudging and nurdling is extremely effective in a low scoring game. It also annoys the sheite out of the opposition.
|
|
By:
I really am not sure. I think 200 is a good lead on this but a cracking start against attacking fields and 50 for no wicket gives confidence to the batters and doubt to the fielding team.
|
|
By:
Also unsure why SA are allowing a single on the fifth ball of every over.
|
|
By:
Ok, *that* is why Shami wasn't in earlier
