alistair Smallman1 says the JT fan. Only interested in him taking wickets for England which he seems quite good at.
Hank_Solo The afternoon session was for the test purists; great stuff from Pajara and Rahane. The pacing worked perfectly with my fuzzy sleep deprived brain
Along_the_Wire baggers44 it’s very odd that India didn’t declare at lunch - two overs after lunch and then then wasting time with an inning breaks reels a bit of a gentlemen’s agreement somewhere.
baggers44 Along_the_Wire i give us another hour - still that lad Hameed has got a run so he might haul us to safety!!! i was there this morning and it is very dark and dank - pitch is slow but will be going up and down soon. i’ll go back if we are hanging on for the last 10 overs!
Along_the_Wire I went quite big on some draw positions when the odds were about 6-1 - got out of those with a decent margin too thank fuck
rhouses Along_the_Wire accumulated about $50 on India at around 4-1 over the 5 days. And with 14 overs left and the missus, who has no clue about test cricket, going on about how I should just turn it off because king dropped buttler, I hedged the draw with $10 at 2.5. Weak sauce.
Along_the_Wire Fucking clown show. Burns and Sibley shouldn’t play for England ever again. One of the most embarrassing day 5s I’ve ever seen. I could smell it though and so glad I got out of those bets. Made £80 profit.
baggers44 Along_the_Wire it was Adelaide in reverse format …..collective failure of bottle by the batters and not very smart captaincy this morning . no idea where to go now as we need 4 new international class batsmen and we have none to select. no idea why we went from a national selector to the coach picking the squad. rubbish. the indians deserved it though and played with skill and aggression and made lower order runs - a bit like we used to.
baggers44 rhouses not a very regal shot nibbling at the woeful curran. he has obviously forged an effective bowling unit and handled them well…then again the better the bowlers the easier it is to captain!
