LET THE CRICKET BEGIN

Jump to new
Three come to mind Shane George Jeff Hammond Gary Cosier come on fellas help me out .What era are we looking at Prospector
 
Hmm, maybe a book about cricket signed by the author ..... with the forward written by Rod Marsh......and Hookesy wasn't married to Robyn at the time however he....
 
almost there Juddy, and yep, I did correct it in a later post, 7/65. Now, just need to work on the first name and x2rider too! Well, assuming I took on his name that is

Weather now fine in Adelaide, I think whoever wins the toss should bat! And you guys might now start taking me seriosuly now, mightn't you :
 
How did you get the second name right? Still a little correction needed for the G name - although if you are in NZ you maybe dont have the variation

PM your address or PO box x2rider and juddy and will see what I can do.....
 
That'll be right ,started this thing off went away for a couple of minutes and missed out,well done fellas wouldnt got close :
 
what about the applause for Paul Collingwood , "the one day test cricketer of the year" gettin a double ton - now he's chasing Bradmans record at adelaide of 299 not out..
you beudy . - we're gonna hav a match , and not a walkover

PS we've lost a few series after we've won the first match lol - "please dont let this be an omen. ..amen"
 
odds this morning ( after day 1)
10.00 Aus to win , 4.25 UK to win , 1.37 draw (hearsay, compliments of ABC interview)
as yet I havent been able to confirm that on any of the betting sites ?
anyone recommend a site for such odds?

ahh found it..
http://www.sportingbet.com.au/uipub/sport.aspx?l1id=11&l2id=506803

I rang them, they say they work on a total percentage of about 106% - where TAb work on 110%. not that Im plugging them - just interested.
with $1 on all 3 options, you only lose on a draw - and Aus is the underdog. mmm .
lol I reckon Gilchrist will fire, and then .. lol - maybe 10:1 is not bad odds am i prepared to put money on it?? , .. (think I'd prefer to bet on zinc lol)

I also see that "mode of 2nd Aus dismissal" has odds:-
caught (keeper) 4.25
caught (other fielder) 2.10
bowled 5.5
LBW 5.5
run out 26
stumped 26
other 201

what other dismissals ? - swearing at the umpire ? ( sorry I dont know much about the finer points of the game - nust like watching Gillie when he's fired up )
 
I don't think we'll (Australia) win, but I think we'll be playing our natural game and it will end up being a draw.
 
next man out
ponting 2.00
hayden 1.80
- guess ponting wants to get out to plan the next innings.

speaking of which flintoff has hopefully got over his captaincy initiation (against aus at least). Can't help, leading as well as bowling , having to think for 11 as well as how you are personally bowling - or batting - but at least he's got his first runs , and first bowling victim behind him.
http://www.abc.net.au/cricket/scores/ckt_scorecard_1016_2.htm

I reckon flintoff is ok - I reckon that moment when he commisserated with Brett Lee in that test in UK was one of those "great moments in sport"

anyway at least the interest has been resurrected here.
first double century by pom at adelaide etc gr8 stuff
warne and mcgrath worst figures ever ... but watch em next innings.

odds (after day 2)

14.00 Aus to win , 5.00 Eng to win , 1.26 draw
so with bets of 7.14, 20.00, and 7.94 (investment 106.50), you get back 100, hence the 106.5% they mentioned. mmm still worse than the casino.

Out next? gilchrist 1.85, clarke 1.95 - this is only 105.3%.
still hopless compared to the ASX. -

I love the way you get several chances to come out ahead on the ASX.
I mean if you bet "AUS to WIN" with sportingbet - and lose - then that's that! .
But if you could buy "AUS WINS EVENTUALLY" shares (for example - if there was such a thing) and they go down, then you keep em until they win - whether this test , or next . (I love the ASX)
