*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai

[Faisal1985]

Imo,they should just look to play this way until the 40th over.With Afridi and Razzaq they could get 100 runs in the last ten.So even if they are say,200-2@40 overs,they could end up with 280-300.

To be honest, it is such a myth now a days having Afridi and Razzaq finish off with fireworks....that type of short and sweet innings is becoming quite rare. I say build the tempo while you have the wickets and try to take calculated risks in the middle overs too.

 

[Faisal1985]

Yeah, I still got on them way too early though. Within 2 overs of my bet South Africa had risen nearly .20 so could've held out for a little bit at least
Won't care as long as it comes in though

What is your bet/odds?

 

[TumTum]

Pitches are always slow in UAE, so this is not a surprise really. Hard for the batsmen getting runs and the bowlers getting wickets.

 

[Briony]

With SA playing Langeveldt, are they looking to get good odds on a closer match or a loss? He looked washed up years ago. Thought he'd gone Kolpak some time ago. Surely that should of cooked his goose as an international prospect!! Pakistan clear favourites now with their run rate. Surprised that Theron, who's been their best bowler has been left out.

Grounds for investigation?

Laid off two balls before that wicket; so gun. Proxies FTW.
I either break even on the match result or win $90.

 

[Faisal1985]

Have a feeling this guy Tsotsobe is a better prospect then Parnell.

 

[Faisal1985]

Younis scores a fifty on come back. So happy for him.

Think you mean Jono ftw

Haha indeed, thanks. Wonder how long they'll let me do it without disabling me.
I usually end up using betfair for my initial bet and then lay my bets off on bet365. Betfair's definitely better for laying though so this'll help me.

£8 @ 1.49, I deal in pennies
Was hoping to put my remaining £1.85 on Amla... little did I know the minimum bet was £2. Ghey.

 

[Faisal1985]

If Pak can reach 200 round about 40-41 overs with these 2 on the crease, it would be pretty awesome...

I have never done betting.

So what this means is if SAF wins you get 8 Pounds times 1.49?

Indeed I do. This is my first bet ftr.

 

[Jono]

He wins 8 x 0.49, but gets his original 8 back as well.

 

[kingpin]

G8 going by these batsman...

 

[Faisal1985]

He wins 8 x 0.49, but gets his original 8 back as well.

Same thing as 8*1.49.

 

[Faisal1985]

Don't you have variable odds as the game progresses? Or is 1.49 fixed?

 

[Faisal1985]

Son of a gun...YK out. darn it. was so hoping for him to ton up today.

Please don't send Alam in now! Please don't

 

[Jono]

Same thing as 8*1.49.

Yep, but you always talk profits, not what you get back.

Anyway big wicket from Botha.
