England vs West Indies 2nd test Headingley

[Dr Cricket]

Shocking cricket from England.
Not really sure what they doing, game not save yet they playing declaration cricket.

What was JB thinking there

Chase knocked over bairstow for 18! Murali part two strikes again.

[Dr Cricket]

Cashed out at 326 pounds, double stake.
One the market still stupid England 1.66 are you having a laugh. And the pice will drop one more wicket and England 4 or 5 and I lose everything.

[Dr Cricket]

Looking at the market, sometimes I feel like if the game fixed none of the odds in this test makes any sense and we probably seen some brainless cricket from England now.

Ha ha ...call the anti-corruption squad

Can't speak for the odds (I reckon betting on cricket is daft) but agree England seem to be playing as if they had a hundred more runs and a couple of hours less left in the game...
Surely were set at drinks to bat West Indies right out of it. Two careless dismissals and it's game on again...

Perhaps they think they have enough ? I wouldn't have thought the pitch was playing up that much yet - though there is certainly plenty to interest the spinner and a number of balls keeping very low.

Would like to see Moeen and Woakes add a few more yet !

The odds haven't made sense all game.
If West Indies win they wouldn't have been below 2 all game till it was so obvious they would win.
If England get 200 plus lead they might never be fav till they actually score about 50-60 odd have a good start.

[Dr Cricket]

England are 1.6 to win now.
That mean they about 75% likely to win.
Which is wrong and stupid.

[Dr Cricket]

England been same or smilar price all day not changed at all even if a wicket falls or runs are being scored.
That is pretty dodgy although it could all just be the market people fixing the odds to suit them and no actually match fixing taking place.
But you really have to leave the book since none of it makes any sense now.

At least I left at a good time and still got a small profit.
I really expected England to be around 2.3 or 2.5 when bairstow fell and that I would only be able to cash out at 150 or maybe less than that.
I really thought I messed this up.

[alfie]

Weird tactics from West Indies ... First over after tea with the game in the balance and it is ....Brathwaite ?

Suppose he will take a hat trick now...

[Dr Cricket]

TBH tactics from both teams been odd this game.
Although holder never been the greatest captain.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Game approaching even-stevens now. Three quick wickets v 50 more runs feels it will decide the favourites for the fourth innings.

[meninblue]

Above 200 run lead, England favorites imo.

[Aidan11]

I'd be happier with a 300 lead but I don't think it will happen.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Crucial stand here from Mo and Woakes, the Birmingham born lower order sucker punch, given the tightness of the game.

[Aidan11]

The no balls are helping.
