like black caps price - overs IMO

It certainly is, but I assume this is a day-night game. Perhaps the team batting first could have an advantage, and I think NZ prefer to chase, don't they? I'm going to wait for the toss, but I think I'll just have a little on NZ. No McGrath for Australia makes a BIG difference!

[Sportz]

Well, what do we say? NZ were obviously NO VALUE AT ALL!!!

[Mr J]

Yeh pretty pathetic.

[Sportz]

Well, I don't think it would have made much difference in this game, but I just don't like NZ's tactics of bowling first when they win the toss. You're giving up an advantage to the opposition. I decided to just have a small bet on NZ when I saw they were going to be batting 2nd under lights.

I was successful again with the lay/back strategy. layed at 1.40 backed at 1.60 when gilly got out early... talk about getting in early !!!


Black caps woeful.. maybe a bounce back option ??
