And seriously is there a bigger tool than Jimmy Anderson

David Warner. Not even close.

Given this is a batter's paradise, and the finest English weather probably wouldn't dry out damp tissue, I'm feeling that the English top order will have similar success. Looking at odds on a few half-centuries.

No

 

[iluvparis]

David Warner. Not even close.

Warner doesn't qualify as he has the mental aptitude of a 5yo - so he doesn't know he is a tool. Jimmy 'The Flog' Anderson has no such excuse.

1u cook to score 50 @ $2.35
1u Lythe to score 50 @ $2.65
2.5u England fall of first wicket over 28.5 @ $1.88

The pitch should still be a run fest by the time England bat. I reckon 3rd session today because the Aussies will at least want to be sporting. Surprised the 1st wicket runs is this low after the 1st innings brought 78 runs and was only ended with a silly shot choice.

Also suspect one of the openers will get a 50.

Whos this with?

 

[ricardogp]

WA Tab. Sportsbet didn't have those markets up.

Anyone like the draw at $3.60? Thinking 1U on it.

 

[ricardogp]

I took the draw before the match. At the moment I'm rapidly losing confidence in it. I'd take over $3 for a draw if England avoid the follow on but that's looking shaky.

If the Aussies break the $2 mark I would be all over if... They were hovering at $1.80-$1.90 for most of yesterday before the poms started folding.

I still like the draw. Cook and Stokes should dig in today. Still a batting pitch.

They need to bat for 3 more days. These are the Poms we're talking about...

Change to overcast conditions did not help you one bit.

 

[ricardogp]

Nope. Starc also managed to seam it better, and everyone else seemed to be undone by late swing. Just hope cook can minimise my losses.

 

[iluvparis]

Surely the last test proved that without rain - the draw in modern day tests is a total mugs bet

2.5U Cook to score a 100@ $2.40

How so?

laying the draw in about 85% of games (i.e. look at forecast and if no extended rain forecast, lay) has been massively profitable for me the last couple of years

 

[iluvparis]

How so?

Game just moves too fast - teams score a lot quicker and take more risk so are either bowled out quicker or declare earlier than they used to.

When was the last draw we played in with no rain?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

How so?

The players all have ADD nowadays and only care about how much cash they can take out of a rich Indian's pockets.

 

[STANDBYHIRD12]

I got on the draw before Stokes fell..

 

[STANDBYHIRD12]

2.5U Cook to score a 100@ $2.40

Doesn't get much stiffer than that.

 

[ricardogp]

Ouch. Tough one.

 

[STANDBYHIRD12]

1U Rogers 100? Yes
1.5U Warner 100? No

 

[STANDBYHIRD12]

What happens if Rogers doesn't come back on?

 

[Jugada]

What happens if Rogers doesn't come back on?

Then he probably wont make 100

Would be a loss i think
