[Cricket] Third Ashes Test - England v Australia - Edgbaston

[leigull]

Anyone else nervous when the lead gets to over 100??

I'd BESEECH anyone with access to a betting account to put a quid on the draw, at prices ranging from 500/1 to 750/1. What's the worst that can happen? You lose a quid. What's the best that can happen? The heavens open and there's no more play

i put a tenner on at 450/1 ....using the same reasoning.......

They have shown today it is possible to score runs so only really delaying the inevitable, I hope.

You and that aussie cheat hold similar morals. Anyone who has played cricket knows when he has had the slightest of nicks. To review it is to show the world on numerous cameras that you are a low down morally bankrupt cheating aussie w#nker

no-ones walked since Beefy.....get a grip...x

Starc 51* (83 balls, 6 fours, 1 six) brings it up with a SIX over long-on from Ali

Australia lead by 100, 245-8 and counting

Same, except I've done a quid or two @ 500/1 and the same again @ 750/1. Never underestimate the ability of England to fold like a deck of cards.

He had everything to gain nothing to lose so an obvious move. I am sure he would be worried about a few people calling him a cheat if he batted long enough for the heavens to open and they got a draw.

Great catch from Root

How will England 'folding like a deck of cards' help your bet on a DRAW, exactly??

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Great take

Do behave. It is not going to rain until 2 o'clock TOMORROW afternoon.

Wish we had some reviews left this morning

I remember the famous 500/1 England win at Headingley in 1981. Lillee made an embarrassing packet.

It won't. It'll help me laugh like a DRAIN tho

Quite. There is a reason the draw is 750/1. Because it won't happen. They'd need the last 2 or 3 wickets to add 300 runs, and England to tip tap their way towards the target until the heavens opened.

Tell you what chaps, why not lump a quid on Bournemouth winning the league?

That was ASTOUNDING. Still remember listening to that test on the radio in absolute AWE. Lesson learnt to put a quid or two on the unlikeliest of England cricketing results. Just for shits and giggles, like.
