Yep, Lay England for first 12 overs then assess
-
WI win toss and bowl, one thing in my.mind.....wickets !
-
England put into bat. Should be interesting, but if they can survive relatively unscathed until lunch, they'll be in pole position for a win. Going to have a small lay of them around 2.0 to begin with though.... just in case. Nothing extravagant though!
-
The experts seem to feel there'll be help for the bowlers early on in Grenada. Still think it's likely whoever wins the toss will bat first - but could be worth a lay if there are early signs of movement.

73-0 at stumps, another 278 needed - could be close. However, if f Pak have a good first session, can see Oz slowing the game down and petering into draw.
Can they do that on the final day? My understanding was that all the overs have to be bowled on the last day of Test matches, and bad light hasn't been an issue so far.

WI ENG
probably an observer early day 1 and 2
if see an angle to launch will postProb guided by most of you
Time zone not kind -
@matt-ayles cheers Matt, great analysis. Any sides that have Marsh (top player in Bash) or Livingstone and Smith are going to be tough to beat, and look good prices.

Am i correct in thinking the highest success run chase at Lahore is 209?
Yes, although this is the first Test played here in 13 years so not sure we can read too much into that statistic. Having said that, I do think Pakistan's price is too low even if the backing for them is entirely predictable.

drip laying pak 3.85
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you - a couple of wickets would be good. Might need nerves of steel if they put on another 30 or 40 before close of play though. The draw has drifted nicely from 2.8 to 3.5.

drip laying pak 3.85

Thank goodness for Pat Cummins... a sporting declaration which should end the bore-fest of Test cricket so far this year. I'm quite liking the lay of the draw, which puts runs and wickets on our side. Pakistan are definitely capable of scoring big runs, but equally susceptible to a calamitous collapse.

40-0 at stumps to set this right up
ok 70 at stumps #lift

Shame to miss the huge swing but never mind.

Morning BTC!
I promised some opinions on the IPL outright market and have the following to offer...
Typically in any T20 tournament you need specialists. It's all well and good having a squad of allrounders but if you want to win matches you need specialist top order batsmen, specialist pace and spin bowlers, and then a mix of middle order allrounders. Therefore the 2 teams that I think are overpriced (not necessarily win but represent good value to me) are:
Delhi Capitals. (Circa 7.0)
Lead by one of if not the best wk/bat players in the world (de kock/jonny being the others), Pant is the sort of player who can change games. Complimented by opening order batsmen like Warner, Powell, Seifert and Sarfaraz and a bowling attack that includes Nortje, M Marsh, Thakur, Ngidi and Yadav plus a huge compliment of local talent, I think they have an excellent chance of making the playoffs.
They're in pool A with MI/KKR/RR/LSG.Punjab Kings. (Circa 11)
Lead by one of last years top batsmen, Mayank Agarwal, they have a really good allround balance. Batsmen also include Shikar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow, backed up by the explosive Livingstone and Odean Smith. Their bowling lineup also includes KG, Chahar and Sandeep Singh.
They're in pool B with CSK/SRH/RCB/GT.These teams have a 0 titles between them which is a comcern but as mentioned they represent value given their strength in depth.
The only other one I shortlisted was CSK (circa 9) but I chose PK in that pool as CSK are very short in the specialist batsmen list... lots of allrounders but I worry they may not get the runs on the board.
Finally, the favourites are MI who have a tremendous batting lineup but other than Bumrah appear to be light in the wicket taking department. They may be relying on the "we're gonna score 1 more than you" strategy.
