@james-woodroffe I was thinking about the short lay. Looks like aus will bat once to win this at the moment so I'm not sure. Praying for rain.
-
Still some ? over this Aussie batting line up but Mums Lasagne looking pretty good will be more interested to see how the Head, Green, Carey middle order goes should England break this partnership and somehow get Smith cheap. Did lay us at 1.23 and felt a little grubby doing it but in typical Queensland fashion the sun is beating down. That could change so another very low odds on lay of Oz could be a possibility. In the meantime feet up chill out and see what transpires. Happy to let this lay run for a fair while yet.
-
@richard-futter Ha, I'm not saying Aus won't win. Just looking for that price move! Early wicket already. Another couple of early ones would be nice for a quick trade
-
@lee-conroy I'm loving your confidence, although the last time England fought back from this position to win an Ashes match, W.G.Grace was the captain!
-
@matt-ayles Good value on laying Aus @1.21. 2/3 wickets in the first session and that price is going to move! Really fancy Woakes to swing the ball on that wicket and woods to bounce a couple out!
-
Im still very surprised that we batted first. However I wouldnt fancy batting last on this wicket. Spinners paradise last 2 days probably. Hoping for loads of clouds tomorrow so hopefully favour some swing bowling, shame Jimmy and Stuart are not playing. From a trading perspective Im hoping Australia bat long and slow and that Smith has a good innings, might make the draw easier to lay. Failing that Im hoping the weather intervenes enough to make the draw price steam in. Off work tomorrow so I might stay up and watch.
-
@dan-peacey forecasts seem patchy so it could be a very stop-start test which favours the bowlers as batsmen can't get settled.
I had laid the draw and already greened up but I feel the price on Aus is too short given that Eng haven't had a ball yet. Seems a bit presumptive... -
Now attention switches to brisbane, can England bowl as well as the aussies? I fancy AUS to probs take out a 250-300 lead and bat once. Hopefully that doesn't happen and hoping that weather may further affect proceedings. I won't enter just yet, need to see how AUS bat on this pitch, can we get Smith out cheaply?
-
All over! Amazing finish to that match. Gotta love test cricket.
-
really needed 22 off 3 styles for entertainment
Babar classic
-
Run chase of 5 runs perhaps?
-

amazing pak 60 balls to the last wicket -
This is tense!

@andy said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:
@james-woodroffe 100% if it's day night at the G it will be a sell out
I will be in Melbourne then I think so I’m hoping we get it.

A pink ball test at the G would be awesome. Hopefully they get the 5th as a trial. If it’s about the money they will but Hobart or Canberra would still be good.
-
@sean-fitzgerald you'd expect mcg to get it. Tas missed out on a women's test already with Afghanistan. 5th test big chance of being a dead rubber I wouldn't be shocked if it's tas.
-
Closed out now for the Bang v Pak test with draw at odds on. Good shout @Nathan-Bennett squeezed out some more green. I’m off now to be our man on site in Pakistan. First trip there in 17 years looking forward to it.
-
36 overs left, 4 wickets needed for Pakistan! 63 runs for bang to survive. Tense finish I think.
-
what a 2 days in the magical Dhaka tea fast approaching draw will steam in more you'd think if no wickets
unsure extra 1/2 hour thing
chaos wicket what a test glad got out
crazy luck BANG
