17 May-Cricket-England vs West Indies (Test Series)
 

Hi
odds for next match
England 1.18
West Indies 11.00
Draw 6.00 Bet


p.s. good luck if you betting

Whose odds are those? Yours or the bookies?

I think you can get $1.60+ about England in the first test, and depending on the weather, I reckon that's okay.

England looking good, 200-3.

Still travelling well, 553-5.

I think you're a day behind???

a draw!
 

what a fizzle, thanks to the drizzle

In retrospect, good value the draw, given it always seems to rain in pommiesville!

..,,another draw! this time Bangladesh and India..

England v West Indies - 2nd Test
 

England 2.20
West Indies 11.00
Draw 1.95

Interesting. The draw, now, the favoured option ;)

India travelling well 2nd & final test!

Team might be travelling well but team members Wasim Jaffer (138) & Dinesh Karthik (82) both retired ill! Curry in a hurry? :)

No play possible 3rd day due to weather. Another draw likely :rolleyes: England looking good [again] but running out of match-time.

no draw this time
 

India wins easily! prevailing by an innings and 239 runs

test cricket? boring! 1d's 4 me!

In the end England did it easily!

And they should do it more easily final 2 tests with West Indies captain Ramnaresh Sarwan ruled out of the rest of the tour of England after damaging his shoulder in the second Test at Headingley.

Series Winner England v West Indies

England $1.04
Draw $14
West Indies $31

Andrew Flintoff is also likely to miss the rest of the series against West Indies after it was decided he should have further ankle surgery.

I guess that might equal things out a bit ;)

Hanging out for the aussies to return!

me 2!

Thanks for all the input catweazle.

England travelling well 3rd test

most welcome, watsonnek

Good to see the Windies putting up a fight!

But in the end England prevailed.

Pietersen didn’t do all that well! 1st Innings 9 from 16 (balls) 2nd Innings 68 from 106

2nd innings out hit wicket..was on his way to another ton..unlucky

The rain has delayed the start of the 4th test :rolleyes:

Pietersen's overrated imo
A scream how he got out 2nd innings LOL
