Thread: Cricket scores around the world

Good god, the cheating aussie bastards, appealing for a catch when the ball quite obviously never got anywhere near the bat.

Who do they think they are, Pakistan?

Pujara:- 28 off 129

Kohli:- 27 off 79

Who da fuck India are with that slow scoring rate ... England?

^Well with names like that, they could both easily be in the England team

it was a decent day, Aussies bowled well, India dug in. A couple of late wickets helped.

6/233

Great Test cricket for viewers today. Australia 4-66 and that could've been a whole lot worse after India dropped 2 catches, another chance but the ball didn't quite carry, and missed run out opportunity. In comes Green on debut, I know nothing about him besides him looking to be about 7ft tall. Good weather forecast and the ball should start swinging once the sun goes down. Pass the popcorn

What a great leader Kohli is.

Respect.

Bounce causing the batsmen plenty of problems.

Totally. After a few dropped catches and other sloppy fielding by his team, a difficult catch comes his way and he makes no mistake with it.

What a bizarre and very specific bet.

I suppose gone are the days of just putting a tenner on the winner.

That will be on Australia to win the Gabba test

The bet I wanted on this match was Australia OR India @ $1.08

But that option disappeared after the toss ... would have had $100 on that as I was sure there would be no draw on the Adelaide pitch and the 5 day weather forecast was good.

They are when it comes to Test cricket.

It's all about in-play betting these days on platforms like Betfair. Have a look at the historics of how the odds swing over the course of most games, punters who know what they're doing will place a dozen or more small bets over the 5 days of a Test till they get into a situation where they've got (for example) $100 on each team winning @ 4.25 and $50 on the draw @ 8.50 at which point they lean back, put their interlocked fingers behind their heads, and enjoy the game knowing no matter what the result is they make money. Doesn't always work out, but if their first bet is on the favourite it's hard to lose.

Holy Fuck! India 5-15

Better edit again, 8-26. This is unbelievable!

India's lowest total to date was 42 at Lords against England

India now are 9/31 and Hazlewood was a 5 for

Farrrkk ... at this rate there will be no Cricket tomorrow and I'll have to actually talk with my Family

Tomorrow? This'll all be over before the sun sets tonight!

I missed the last one (retired hurt) ... cutting up cabana and cheese for me and the rugrats (which forced me to open a bottle of 2015 cab sav .. damm, it's corked!)

NEW WORLD RECORD for India

Lowest test match score ever! for India

Life is good

Fucking hell I turned it on expecting a day's cricket. So much for that.

They'll be burning effigies in Mumbai I fancy.

^ Strike rates look good

Aussies won the strike and are now 3/38

Smith out for a duck.

Not exactly a good start.

At least we've equalled the Indians last innings score.

I hate to say it, but the Aussies need David Warner back fast.

Well it's good to have a competitive series.
