will be interesting to see how much ali's objections to his presence will be seen in when he bowls and how he is used with ali being captain
Afridi captain for t20 and wants him in the team and squad.
Not in the squad for Odi.
from the article
England scheduled to play 17 test this year.
3 South africa
3 Sri lanka
4 pakistan
2 bangladesh
5 india
17 test although ban is questionable and india is either 4 or 5.
although India only playing 14 test from January to January.
india must really be cramming them in during the second half of the year as i believe they dont play a test before june
yep
9 home test in 3 months.
1 test in Zimbabwe
4 test in West indies.
Doesn't even include the 4 test matches scheduled in feb after the odi against england.
India not getting a break till never lol.
if the ftp is correct.

at best getting 2-3 week break in September every year.
England got a busy schedule but they do have breaks or gaps.
Over 70,000 in there and they're still queuing !!
Gayle out already ( caught by new dad KP)
Jimmy's back:)
Jimmy in for Woakes
3 changes for SA
Morris,De Koch and Rabada in
Steyn, Abbott and Duminy out
Think we may get more than that
Already better than the first Test.
I think he may go big...:)
Hope I'm wrong, but Hales just doesn't give that feeling of confidence in the Test match arena
Temperatures climbing. It's going to be a hot one
Good start from England and I agree with you
Inexperienced attack witout Steyn, Abbott and Philander
I know I have asked you this before dtc but remind me please
Does that mean that the bookies favourite score prediction is between 357 and 372 ? You can bet on any spread but that is favourite ?
49/0 at drinks
The 357-372 is the bookies prediction and their 'margin'
In an ideal world for them , they will get an equal amount of punters going over and under and therefore creating a balanced book
If England are all out for 365, they would win both ways
If England get 400 they would lose 28 x stake (400 -372) but win 43 x stake (400-357)
If England are 300 all out, they would lose 57 x stake (357-300) but would win 72 x stake (372-300)
The spreads are updated after every ball so the secret is not too get too greedy and close your position when you are (enough ! )in front
eg at drinks ,England are 49/0 and the spreads have been updated to 424 - 439
This means if you bought (went higher) at the opening quote of 372 you could close your position at 424 thus making a profit of 52 x stake
Conversely, if you had sold (gone lower) at 357 you would be in all kinds of trouble. to cut your losses now you would be able to close your position at 439 thus losing 82 x stake (439-357)
Hope i've explained that clearly:)
Wish i hadnt asked now
55/1
With Cook's wicket , the spreads are now 376 - 391
Still........we got to 50 without losing a wicket which has to bode well for a decent score
I'm on under 350 1st innings runs from the start and very confident of a collapse here. England don't do well in consecutive tests... ever.
That's a fair point and normally I'd agree with you, but I think this is a different England team now with the current coach
I think we could get close to 500 against this attack
Those 5 wides help as well:)
