[Cricket] Glamorgan v Sussex Venue: Sophia Gardens Cardiff, Cardiff 11am One day Cup

[Moshe Gariani]

Batty has gone for 96 runs off 9 overs in that game. Christ!

Yeah. Blimey. That must be his worst ever figures in a 50 over match.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Sounds like Jofra is causing a few problems for these Glamorgan openers.

Just put Finch in at short leg and then Selman gets hit by the next ball.

Archer really is the hottest of properties.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Ishy STRIKES....!!!

 

[Taybha]

Glamorgan absolutely bossing this 61-1 after 9 overs

If it's not the batflids then it's the bowlflids. Jesus

Certainly is game on now...

Bookies have it close to 50/50. A wicket would swap favouritism.

I'm still backing our lads.

 

[Postman Pat]

I think they've got it a bit wrong and Sussex will win more comfortably than those odds suggest.

Time will tell.

Glamorgan now 4/6 favourites, Sussex 6/5

 

[Postman Pat]

Finally a wicket.

Donald c Burgess b Jordan 40

90-2 - 17.5 ovs

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Jason Gillespie in the commentary box for a few overs.

He really does come across as an exceptionally good bloke and coach. Respectful and calm but with extremely high standards and drive for success.

Houghton could learn a lot from him.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

101-2 after 22 overs is apparently EXACTLY on par using Duckworth-Lewis.

Great game.

Come on you Sharks!

 

[Taybha]

106-3 Sharma again 25 overs to go

 

[Moshe Gariani]

106-3 Sharma again 25 overs to go

Sussex back in charge.

Jofra back on.

Don't expect Glamorgan to regain favouritism at any further point now.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Going at 4s... will need 8s soon.

 

[jakarta]

Glamorgan going at 4 an over at present, need to up it to more than 7, surely they must be behind old Vera Duckworth now they are three down?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Fair play to Ingram.

Dizzy called him as a possible dangerman.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Glamorgan going at 4 an over at present, need to up it to more than 7, surely they must be behind old Vera Duckworth now they are three down?

Yes, they definitely were. Flurry of runs from Ingram is bringing them back into contention. He is chancing his arm and needs to get out...!

106-3 Sharma again 25 overs to go

In an "instant Sharmas going to get you". Where have I heard that before.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I am learning about cricket betting following this game on Bet365...

The odds (i.e. punters) are hugely over-reactive to fluctuations in the match.

Sussex were 2/5 to win the match when Glam went 106/3. A fairly standard sort of 30 odd run partnership later and now Glamorgan are apparently 4/5 favourites...!!

That can't possibly be "right". Glamorgan are currently not far off the par score but Sussex should remain good favourites despite that (in my humble opinion...).

Maybe it is just this match (and with megatonnes of hindsight) but anyone "trading" this match on the basis that both sides can and should be backed at odds against would be in clover.

148-3 after 33 overs - run rate subsides again.

Glamorgan romping toward a easy and first win of the competition 159-3 after 34 overs
