I've conspired to seriously butcher a decent setup, and comfortably more than halved my green since I had my evening meal.
Calling that a night. Pitch seems slow and fairly easy still. I've no horse in the race but I'll take tight first innings so I can hopefully trade some back when I wake up fresh and ready tomorrow. Grrrr. Good luck in the meantime  |

Live to fight another day. Rule 1

Pitch is dying . Look at the last 2 tests here against Sri Lanka it gets easier to bat second innings both ending in draws albeit slight rain interruptions.

By:
Live to fight another day. Rule 1 Too true.
Raring to go. Everything looks better the next day. |

I make the sam3 mistakes constantly too. I buy and hold early in the game. I should have bought the draw at 6’s and WI’s I think at 8 yesterday.
Too busy counting my winnings when England were 1.6. To my credit I did cash out at one point and buy back at a better rate but Day 1 and 2 in a Test Match I think it pays to buy between 6 and 10 when sides are matched Pretty confident England will win, certainl6 if the new ball dies the trick this morning. Pitch still looks flat but may not deteriorate until late day 4/5 Low bounce is featuring more |

Still on an Eng win WD?
|
|
By:
Yep. Thinking about a top up!
A big top up  |

can't ever see Mighty
 Albion being anything other than a bang average Associate membertheir 'bowling' is woefully toothless,so dire it makes their pathetically gutless batting look half good |
|
By:
If they break this partnership soon then they are back in business as I sense Windies need to be well ahead of 311 to be robust favourites.

D’you think there are signs it will spin?

By:
We are bottom of the table Johnny
Behind Bangladesh. 9th out of 9! |

By:
We do look toothless but this is a ver6 slow pitch

nice delivery that from woor Jackie

50 lead for Windies now, 2 wickets to fall.
A 70 or 80 run lead for them will be a real challenge to England. |
|
By:
I didn’t plan for that. Was more worried that would happen in the 4th innings.
I still think a result is possible and a draw lay would be the bet as both these sides can bat badly although it does look like a draw atm. Plenty of sun today and more cross winds so anything is possible. Quite dull to watch I have to say. |
|
By:
Where now? The draw?
|
|
By:
Lees already played and missed almost as many times as Bonner
 |
|
By:
Not easy to see England's price shortening - only really runs *and* wickets that can see that happen.
Either runs or wickets, on their own, push each of the other results down, but not ours. |
|
By:
I guess we could try to push on if we reached 100-0, but that is usually a way away on a slow track.
|
|
By:
(cue England trading under 4s in no time)
 |
|
By:
Just have to be patient
See what develops. Will the pitch offer anything after tea? Doesn’t look like it thus far |
|
By:
I fancy Crawley for a score today if he can see off the new ball. Cue.......
|
|
By:
Playing out nicely thus far.
England get off to a decent start (21-0 in 7 overs) and our price has gone from 5.8 -> 7.2 |
|
By:
While he looks great clipping them across the line he is a prime lbw candidate.
|
|
By:
Shame there wasn't a day more in the match, as it's quite an expensive lay at 5.8
|
|
By:
I think Crawley has got the game (admittedly almost all of that based on a monster v Pakistan).
Just waiting for the head to catch up (so he becomes more selective) Or the eyes to catch up (ala Smith, so he can play those 'dangerous' shots with impunity because he never misses) |
|
By:
another new opener, another failure. Who will they try next?
|
|
By:
These two are fluent scorers so hoping they move the game on but another wicket will give me an opportunity to clear my draw red, which, I think is the most likely result.
|
|
By:
I might be inclined to give Alex Hales a go
|
|
By:
I am sure he would have been involved too, but the second drugs suspension looks to have been a final nail for him.

6.00 England
6.8 Windies 1.44 Draw |
|
By:
Draw now nailed on, unless England had a ridiculous collapse. Commentators babbling on about England will declare with a lead of 180-200 and hpe to bowl them out in 2 sessions. They must watch another game to everone else. England won't declare until is out of Windies reach, which will be around just after lunch and with the ball doing absolutly nothing apart from when its new. I can't see England even declaring.
|
|
By:
Draw seems almost certain now.
|
|
By:
Its a dead pitch, just abit of low bounce and we have no bowlers to exploit this anyway with Wood injured.
|
|
By:
Perhaps Strauss will get down off his high horse and fly out a couple of bowlers for the next test to shore up his pop gun attack.
|
|
By:
Bad luck with the rain, 40 or 50 runs last night would have moved the game on. I can’t see England giving WI’s a sniff but I would like to see them go after the bowling this morning to try and set something up.

1.01 busted for £87 on the 350 runline

By:
1.28 the draw..q big as it goes tho' it could go near 1.5 were they to lose early wkts
but i thought their middle to lower order looked q comfortable in the 1st inns so really can't see them not holding on for the draw tho' they have previous for collapses on this particular pitch and our less than deadly bowling think one can fill ones boots on the draw for the big odds on backers imho |
