Openers lasted just over half an hour.... about par for England these days. Root and Malan again left to pick up the pieces.

Having said that, I have had a small lay of England at 5, just in case Crawley - with an average of 11 this year - makes an early exit. Would hardly be a surprise.
Yep, me too at 5.1 , all indications that its gonna be a juicy morning, cant see Crawley surviving long.
What sort of odds would you expect if there is an early wicket?Answer is about 6 - not a big diff tbh. Might wait for Crawley to get out and then green up
So predictable,greened up and off to bed.

So predictable. Not at all convinced by Hameed.

Never mind, going to be a very interesting morning. Can England's batting survive an early Aussie barrage? Seems unlikely, but you never really know until you see an early over or two.
-
AUS win toss and will bowl
-
Terrible coverage from BT Sport. Didn't give us the live toss. Tossers!
-
Just been reading that the last game at MCG was a juicy pitch, and Boland took 8 wickets, including hitting several batters in the helmet.
Might be a good time to back ENG if they win toss , and then early wickets. -
A green pitch and an overcast sky, so there's talk of perhaps bowling first in Melbourne. I'd still be surprised if that happens - but I'm often surprised at this team's decisions these days!
-
England game start delayed by rain.

@richard-futter Can't wait...3 on the draw at Centurion sounds pretty good value already
And let's not forget the other blockbuster Boxing day test when NZ take on Bangladesh
Odds aren't out yet but only one result likely here...Lumped on at 2.98 , lets see where that goes over next 3 days, can only be 1 way. Just 1 draw in last 17 Tests there.
Williamson not in NZ squad, not that that should make much difference - long term weather forecast for Auckland is reasonable, game starts on 31stNow slipped to 2.88 - whats going on ! ?
(i know it will rebound)Ah, just found out why. Forecasts of thunderstorms in Joburg area for Sunday and Monday with high probability of rain. Knowing Joburg and South Africa quite well after having lived there for a few years, i would expect it to be the afternoon thunderstorms that will likely halt play for a couple of hours and then back on it - but something to be aware of in this market.
Now down to 2.58 !!!

Merry Christmas guys. Hope Santa brings you all a boxing day greenbook.

Just wanted to say how much i have enjoyed this thread in my short time here - some obviously very well informed people.
Lets make this very active over the holiday period - its the only way i will be able to survive Xmas (although i am going to Spain on 27th for a couple of weeks !
)Thank you all.

nice little profit on the USA v Ire game too ! Got a bit worried when USA smacked 13 off the first 3 balls of the 17th over, but then Campher took three wickets off next 4 balls (think there was a wide in the middle)
-
@stuart-wallace I tend to ignore it to be honest. While it generally brings more runs it tends to bring wickets too.
