Tbh, I wouldn't stand by any of them now.

I'll take $100 each on Warner and Patto.

Yeah I think they're very, very likely to happen.

Decent bet for $7 IMO, however I won't say yes or no until the end of the season.

I would. Warner will have a similar career to Sehwag. He'll make a couple of 300 plus scores, esp against minnows.

Id give you 15-1 on Warner making a couple of 300 plus scores.
Not so worried about $$ as Benchy will owe me 4K soon.

Still haven't transferred me that m00lah. Bets are only confirmed once money is put down.
Odds aren't fixed.

Big call - are you sure he's got the concentration and technique?

As has been said before, Warner's technique, especially against pace, is much better than Sehwag's. He's one of the most technically capable young batsmen in Australia and the fact that he plays lots of shots doesn't detract from his technique in playing those shots. If he does have a couple of problems they're shot selection and - as you said - concentration. I don't think he's got a triple in him at the moment but I don't think it'd take significant changes to his game for him to get there.

10-1 on Warner making one 300 plus score and I'm there...
Yep, he made his 180 off 159 balls. When it happens, he will go from 200-300 in about 40 balls, so concentration won't be the issue!

Lack of technique hasn't hindered someone like Graeme Smith from racking up big scores while staying at the crease for a long time. As much as it's a cliche, he's probably the classic example of a batsman who "knows his limitations" well enough not to be too ambitious at driving the ball through the off-side against say a James Anderson swinging the ball away from him.
In other words, 'good technique' as a neccessity is overrated imo when it comes to making big scores - especially the last few years with pitches not offering much sideways movement. Shows why Sehwag and Hayden were so prolific at big hundreds in this era really.

Maybe I am missing the context but if you are making a bet wouldn't you want longer odds (15-1)

He only wants it on him making one triple century. NUFAN was offering 15-1 on him making multiple.
Red

Yep. Would be reasonably comfortable with his potential to make one 300+. Not so confident that he'll make 2 or more.

Done.
