6/1 - FK ME!!

[Electric ~soul~]

Well, the bookies agree with you, Gertcha - it's 6/1 on the Aussies winning this test now.

 

I've put my Hayden and Langer century winnings (£46) on the Aussies to win, so will console myself tonight, should our batsmen fail to deliver, with £300-odd quid in the bank.

There isn't enough time for them to win I don't think. They need to take 9 wickets, so even if they have a fantastic innings, the chances are we will still have a decent lead. It won't be easy for them to chase 150odd against our bowlers.

 

Today is the chance for Bell and Pieterson to put in a decent performance to.

[Electric ~soul~]

We could be 90 all out by lunch, mate.

[gertcha EFM]

No chance. Have 9 wickets ever fallen in a session during a test ?

[Electric ~soul~]

Hmmm. Well... probably not.

 

So, I'm the eternal pessimist. Just got a bad feeling. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

We are on a roll mate. In the past maybe we would have folded but I just can't see it.

Well, I'm not sure I've got the nerves to listen to it on the radio, though GHA will probably be updating on here anyway.

 

It's the Warne factor that worries me. He could end up with all ten wickets here. They're gonna be pretty ruthless today.

Gillespie quote, before Edgbaston test: "Flintoff is a good player".

 

When asked if he could get in the Australia squad, he laughed "lets not go too far mate, he's good but not that good!"

 

I wouldn't mind if Vaughan wanted to mention this in his team talk today.

[gertcha EFM]

I think you should put the radio on and enjoy it mate.

 

You can listen to history unfold.

Just worked it out - £400.41.

It will give me no pleasure... though will make defeat a little easier to bear.

For the first time today, Australia's odds have come inside 2/1.

 

13/8 now on an Australia victory.

 

I don't like this one bit.

[Electric ~soul~]

5/1 Australia.

 

1/6 the draw.
