[Cricket] England vs Australia, Ashes 4th test - Old Trafford

[Arkwright]

But the odds of Australia winning have also shortened. It's the draw that's getting less likely, which is understandable.

Rain due tomorrow, draw is worth a punt.

 

[Pavilionaire]

We will never, ever EVER get Steve Smith out.

 

[BensGrandad]

If we can restrict them from scoring so they are still in bat at the close it will be interesting tomorrow.

 

[Triggaaar]

Rain due tomorrow, draw is worth a punt.

Is it? I've only seen them say it's due to be clear for the rest of the test.

Money on Australia when the draw became odds on was the bet.

I guess this is the closest thing to our official match thread today.
We just missed a penalty!

While 4 - 0 down.

Unbelievable field set from Root, what the hell is this? 1 slip and nobody around the bat for Leach

How do those always land safely for Smith? Lucky *******

 

[The Wizard]

And this is why Root is a terrible captain, high class batsman but clueless captain.

The weather forecast unfortunately seem pretty accurate nowadays. Cant see England surviving 98 overs tomorrow and whatever overs today when Australia declare.

 

[BensGrandad]

Smith gets past 50 so realistically another century on its way. The hope is that taking into account the last test result Australia will delay their declaration too long, so that it cant happen again.

 

[The Wizard]

343 runs ahead on this pitch, I can’t believe they aren’t declaring yet, perhaps waiting for Smith to get his century but there’s no chance we are chasing that on this surface, Edgbaston was completely different as the pitch was getting better.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Smith is so good even when he is taking the piss he is the best batsman in the world.

 

[The Wizard]

Smith gone Trolling the crowd as he goes back.

 

[Mackenzie]

Good.

 

[BensGrandad]

how many more overs left for today

 

[Machiavelli]

Rain due tomorrow, draw is worth a punt.

The highest % chance of rain tomorrow is 7% at 7pm

 

[The Wizard]

Surely they will send in a night watchman again here, to open this time though?

Edit: Nope, don’t really understand that.

Leech and or Overton? How many overs?

 

[The Wizard]

Oh **** off

Why the **** didn’t they just sound out a night watchman?
