Made a bet of 0.3 mbtc, if I win, I'll get ~1.35 mbtc. So I guess, it's 4.5x , not bad at all  Smiley
That's a good return. I guess none of the bookies had this odd before the match.

Another inning defeat for Pakistan and this time Warner is the man. 5th and last day of NZ vs ENG are in progress. akhjob, get ready :-D

Root 226 has made England to be in a good position as they took lead against Nz and still in second innings NZ trail by 5 runs and 9 wickets left . It would be interesting to see how much more lead can NX take and England will have to chase then in 4th innings .
Today Root done great job and I believe he is sleeping giant and done good job on right time for his team and country today New Zealand was in defensive mode but still lost 2 wickets tomorrow first session could be very crucial for England if bowlers able to have 3 or 4 wickets which are not going to happen then we can imagine result for this match otherwise draw is already going to happen.

More than the strength of the Australian side, the outcome of this match just confirmed the ongoing decline of the Pakistan team. They are a shadow of their former self, with the national side unable to play the matches at home and the domestic structure in shambles. A team which has produced legends like Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar and Saeed Anwar is now a laughing stock in front of the global audience.
Even in the past twenty years Pakistan never defeated Australia and this result is expected because Pakistan is touring Australia with a new team and you cannot expect any magical performance from a new team and they will get the experience they needed and the bowling unit was a failure in all sense as they were not able to pick any wickets. If they are able to find a good bowling unit then they will be able to trouble quality batsman but then their batting has to rise according to win the match.

At least earlier, they used to give tough fight to the Australians, unlike the meek surrender that we are witnessing now. The performance of Pakistan so far in this series has been nothing short of disgrace. Whatever be the reasons (inexperience, lack of funds.etc), they need to understand that as one of the original test playing nations, they need to improve their game.

OZ won the test match again easily and by innings and 48 runs which is like the best period going on for them . Warner not out of. 300+ runs and Lyon 5 wicket haul just helping them to make the strong match for the team and thus win the match easily .

The Pakistan bowlers did not allow the rest of the Australian batsman to play in this match and it was a smart move so that they could avoid other players too scoring centuries  Cheesy. Warner is back in form and even i thought his cricket career in the longer format is over as he was really struggling against England and with a different bowling unit he is back in form which is good for the team as they would have struggled to find a worthy contender to replace Warner for the opening slot.

If I don't win this one, I might be the unluckiest fellow here  Grin
This time it will be hard to take away the winnings from you and seems like it's just me only who always far miles away for winning :-P
Dude, that's because you placed a 1.5 mbtc bet on Bangladesh knowingly that they'll lose against India. In this series, the odds were even for both NZ and ENG in my opinion. So yeah you were unlucky in this series. Honestly, both the matches should have been a draw and I should have won both the bets  Tongue But here I am dreaming of atleast winning this bet  Grin

I have not watched a single ball from this NZ vs ENG Test and also Pakistan vs Australia Test (except some recorded clips) but looking at the score board of NZ vs England it's easily assumable that this will be a draw match even there are no weather interruption. If any miracle happens like NZ lost rest of the 8 wickets in the next 20 - 40 overs and was only able to give a target of 100 or 120 then we may see some excitements. Other than that I am getting ready to pay akhjob :-D

As of now NZ trailing by 5 runs and 2 wickets already gone. Tomorrow we have full 90 overs if rain doesn't pops up, if not then for any win-loss result both teams need to play with T-20 mindset, which is very unlikely IMO but i am open for 0.01% chance.
The match is a draw by the way things are going and rain has played a role in this match and i do not see New Zealand doing anything different to change this match, they will look the play out the balls carefully and England will be looking for pick wickets so that they will have a chance to fight back and win a thriller but the chances are low and if they play according to the situation it is a draw and New Zealand still have a lead on them.

While Kiwis don't have a chance to win this one. Let's hope that we don't see an upset like what happened to ENG in the first test.
Why do you think NZ is out of this one? They already established a lead right now and could probably set up a decent total for England to chase unless they collapse dramatically which I doubt will happen since Williamson and Taylor are set at the moment.

The most likely result is that this will end in a draw and you end up scooping a big portion of the pool which is why betting on the draw option seems to have favored you this time around.
As JSRAW pointed out, the only way for NZ to win this match is by playing the game like a T20 format and create a major collapse with the ball. All this will have to happen within 90 overs. On the other hand, if ENG was able to take down Newzealand by the end of 2nd session, ENG might have a fighting chance to win the game. But... I don't see this happening  Smiley So yeah, I'm gonna win this pool Grin

Pakistan trails by 100 runs and only left with 5 wickets . Seeing the overall match it seems that Pz will win this match with an innings and few runs it seems and Pakistan would just be unhappy the overall performances in this series from them .

With in 5 balls scenario changed lol Root and Ollie pope got out. lead is 83 runs. now i doubt if they can even touch 150 100ish. they don't have much firework left down the order.

With one wicket remaining (all done, last wicket taken by Wagner), they are having a lead of 101. 35 overs remaining today and approx. 90 tomorrow. I don't think that there is enough time left to get a result. But New Zealand should be happy, as they won the first test. If this one ends in a draw, then they win the series 1-0. Wagner ends with 124/5, after his 5/44 during the Mount Maunganui test. still, the New Zealand bowling looked very weak. They could have picked Lockie Ferguson instead of Matt Henry.

Today we have Joe Root with his best 101 runs lead is not enough but now time for English bowlers to show some magic if they able to bowled out New Zealand around 250 to 275 this could be very interesting end of bore test match just Curran take his first wicket lets see what happen in remaining session of this match.
