Think if I was betting on South Africa vs England, the smart money would be on buying the spread on runs scored by SA. Even if Eng win, I think SA might score in excess of 300 as the tail slogs to aggressive, wicket taking fields. England 95% winners so unlikely to be any upside in just betting on Eng to win. Also, with Amla and Du Plessis gone, not sure they have the batting to bat time to draw.

I think England is going to win this one.

it is quite clear that England is in strong position to win this match, but still devillers is their and dumminy has to come so i think today south africa will give some fight and even if they lose the match the score will be above 300+. this is my view.

if south africa play some sensible batting then they can achieve this target and win or atleast draw this match, if devillers not get out before lunch then market will panic and we can get favrite for draw.

South Africa seems in troubles in 1st test match.England @1.49 was looking promising and safer so I placed on England right now.I dont see SA as winner neither this match being ended at draw.

South Africa have only slim chances to win this match and they are now totally depending on AB de Villiers, who was unbeaten on 37 at the end of the day. But I don't think he will take this match until tomorrow end of the day. I hope England will pull the plug tomorrow mornings session.

Wow, what a fantastic match between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan. I thought that Zim was going to win Shocked

Any one bet on this Afghanistan yesterday?

I posted yesterday, it will be a sure win bet but Afghanistan need to struggle a quite a bit to win this match at the end. Anyway I own my bet.

SA and England match looks quite interesting now. Both teams got opportunity but England in a upper hand. Let's see who will make it.

i am sad that i missed out on AFgan match..seen the scores.. it was a great match . so how about the SA vs ENG panning out.. i had a small bet in favor of ENG.. waiting to see how ABD bats.  his wicket is crucial on me deciding to go full on wagging on this match  Wink

Yes it was a best match to watch also. Zimbabwe had been pushed to the limit and nothing had worked for them in this match. Afghanistan chase down 254 with 14 balls remaining and a top order batsman out in the middle as Mohammad Shahzad scored the highest score for his team in one day matches 131 not out off 133 balls.

South Africa seems in troubles in 1st test match.England @1.49 was looking promising and safer so I placed on England right now.I dont see SA as winner neither this match being ended at draw.

Yes, England looks like the favourite, given the steep target.
De Villiers is still out there, but it is too much to expect from him.

South Africa still require another 280 runs to win this match with 6 wickets remaining. I believe it is not that big score for SA if they play to there potential. AB de Villiers is still playing so any thing can happen in this match.

Zimbabwe is going to win today easily. I guess the last loss really affected them and they worked hard, 253 is looking like a big total to me and I don't think Afghanistan can achieve that, they're a good-ish team but I don't see them winning today.
Afghanistan took and slow but careful start in this match.I don't think 253 is that high score where you can be sure of Zimbabwe win.I also will say Afghanistan has equal chances to win with so many wickets in hands.
I do agree with you thats why I placed on Afghanistan and till this moment I am convince of the winning of Afghan team in this one day match too.

Afghanistan won the match in 48 overs, i got the odd of 3.5 when they were 6wickets down., in this lower rank teams you can always go for high odds because 100% you will get other team also higher odds because in this type of matches you will get both team favrites 99% of time.

congrats on winning the bet on afghanistan

I placed on Afghanistan before the start of the match and now at these odds of @3.50 I raised my bet.Both teams are equal and Zimbabwean side is really weak in bowling to defend this target.I am pretty confident about my decision.
Now Afghanistan is in trouble after have some good score by Zimbabwe its hard target for them even Zimbabwe is weak in bowling but Afghanistan is also not strong in chasing
England is in driving seat right now after taking 3 quick wickets this is last recognized pair from South Africa for resistance they need to play with patience if they want some positive result from this match

I do agree that Zimbabwe is dominating the match and their game plan looks to set up and target of 280+ for Afghanistan which will put them in struggle especially when it comes to chase.Anyway I will place my bet after the end of Zimbabwean innings to be more sure.

Zimbabwe is playing totally differently in this match as 161/2 in 35 overs.It seems today Zimbabwean came to win this match to make it equal by 1-1.I see Zimbabwe as winner today against Afghanistan.

South Africa is set a target of mammoth 416 to win their boxing day test. I guess, there is no possibilities for winning chances for South Africa. England got enough bowling attack and scores on board to defend.
There are only two possibilities from this match. England will win or South Africa will play a blocking cricket to draw this match.

I can't believe Australia declared so early. They should have taken a 500+ run lead before sending the WI into bat again Undecided

That is the confidence level on there bowlers. West Indies still require another 369 runs with 8 wickets. It looks like WI will not score so many runs even though they play very slow. Australia just need to pick up another three more wickets than rest of them will not stay longer.


Come on folks its a huge lead already , i was wondering why they wouldn't declare, chasing and winning  a total of 400 (on the fourth innings ) is a very hard thing even for class players and strong teams, and WI doesnt have those combinations right now.

Yes, chasing 400+ runs for victory in test cricket must be hard target. Australia has enough firing attack to defend West Indies. The first Innings performer Brovo already got out. So, it would be very easy task for Australia in this boxing test.

West Indies in great trouble after loosing five wickets within 200 runs. But the sixth wicket pair are doing some good job now with their partnership of 60+ runs. Only some miracle can save West Indies from losing this match. There is a result inevitable from this match, I guess that would be in Australia favor.

and West indies have lost this match in 4 days itself the match finished , australia team will be in great boost after winning this second test and now they are leading with 2-0

England have taken a lead of 364 runs, i think after lunch they can play for more 24 over and then declare it so the score can past 400+ after that they have to defend that score. so that they can win this first test match in south africa.
