@stuart-wallace Don't understand England being favourites we're a desperately poor test team probably says as much about the West Indies than England

Our batting is absolute crap and as for the bowling without Robinson, Broad and Anderson and with no spinner worthy enough to play test cricket how are we going to get twenty wickets

Stuart Wallace

WI v ENG..

Weather set fair for all 5 days.
Antigua has a history of draws....5 out of last 10 tests at this venue have been drawn- and historically the wicket doesnt deteriorate quickly.
To me, WI look a bit short in the batting area, but then again, so do England with potentially Lees and LAwrence both playing. Robinson is out with back injury.

Draw Lay is 4.8, with ENG favourites at 2.15. Hard to call this one, best wait for toss, check out team selections, injuires etc, and possibly do a speculative Draw Lay with early wickets (both early batting line-ups look brittle, however, Root is looking to bat at 3).

LAYING DRAW AUS PAK with 1/2 my green
Simple thoughts AUS close in on a lead today have a smash till lunch or till 50 overs tmr left and pray can get wickets
1.2 be great to take 80% back of this lay

Do we have any draw layers out there at the mo
Very tempting
Could be rock bottom odds

had a LAY @1.27

R/R nuts here by openers
Hint of rain around later in day Gees i might really launch a draw lay if covers out later

Such an interesting test match. Wickets currently seem impossible to get.

PAK LAY is looking good at mo taking 25% red out @3.5 .. may square up at 8's

early days what's obvious is the RUNRATE gees i reckon PAK thought they had 10 days

Another team sub 1.1 could won a stack from
had lays queued at 1.07 un matched grrr ha

so far this W world cup markets early rounds so so short with favs at some point and games far far from over

used pitches may play key role
noted this hard for when the slow bowlers come on

First women's game I've watched all the way through. Very, very impressive stuff from both sides.

Brilliant attempt from England to chase down a huge total posted by the Aussies. Should give them plenty of confidence going forward.

Are Australia on a wicket taking strike?

Nathan Bennett

so much happening missed automatic lay for what i don't mind
That would of been LAY aus w 1.06 back 75% 1.18

anyway have had a 1.17 lay want 1.34 take half out

Took some 1.3

Gees pole sick just as placed and Eng look to change gears

Appreciate this isn't trading related but just seen on sky news that Shane Warne has passed away. What a legend of the game. Such sad news.

Gutted to wake up to this news this morning. We’ve lost two genuine legends of Australian cricket within 48 hours. I was sad to hear the news of Rod Marsh yesterday and absolutely floored by Warnie’s passing.

Gone far too young

Got ENG Lay at 3.4 and BAN Lay at 9.2.

I hate leaving open bets overnight, so have set my alarm at 2 and 5 am. I know i wont be able to sleep from 2 onwards, so.....a long night beckons.

In the SA game, one opener has 15 off 12 balls, the other has 0 off 18 balls !!

One thing i would like to say about Warney.... I always wanted to 'bump' into him...in a airport, or book signing, or at a cricket ground, and just stop him and say to him ' Warney, i hate you, but you are the best i have ever seen..... and then shake his hand' .... i wont be able to do that now.
As a cricket fan, i am very sad tonight.

I wonder if this might affect the AUS team in the current Test ?

Probably make them more determined to win in my opinion
