*Official* Match 29 - India v South Africa

[silentstriker]

Because five games, including two against minnows, is a statistically significant sample.

It'd be below par simply looking at the pitch even if the ground had no history.

 

[Neil Pickup]

For all I've said about India still being in this, those odds are ridiculous.

PCB took very bold decision and dropped Fawad Alam from WC 30 probabbles. He scored 3-4 50s against SA/ENG/NZ, but was mismatch in Pakistan squad, they already have Anchors in Misbah and Younus. India should do same with Gambhir, Why u need G when Sachin and Kohli can steady innings at top.

 

[silentstriker]

South Africa paying $2.30 on bet365 and when India were 6 down SA were paying $4

Dude, I'd take those odds so fast.....

What're the odds on SA? Man, I wish I could bet from the US.

India still favs on Bet365:

India 8/13 (1.61)
SA 13/10 (2.30)

Not sure I agree, tbh. Can only assume they're factoring in the yarp choke tendancy.

Granted this isn't a walkover chase as it looks very dry, and there is Zaheer...

Disgraceful. India have a long and illustrious history of letting Tendulkar down when he's played a blinder and this one will soon join the list. Should be a doddle for SA. Atleast 50 runs short here.

Seriously, those odds make no sense to me. They say you shouldn't bet for/against a team you support because emotion comes into play rather than reason, but I can't for the life of me see how you could possibly pay out that much for an SA win.

I think we need to have a look at when we take the batting power play this is the 2nd time we have fallen away after an amazing start having done so against England.

The momentum is certainly with South Africa, but this wicket seems to have a bit in it for the slow bowlers and spinners, so Yuvis bowling will be crucial for us.

I still think that we can win this game but its going to require us to put in a huge effort, really wish Ashwin was playing!

dream on.

Oh well atleast the Dum Maro Dum team is there to bring some cheers. Deepika to jiggy.

Same, I think looking at the wicket best time to score runs is against the New ball, Yuvi will be crucial for us, I would get spin on very early.

Wish this game was in 3 weeks time
I realise these teams could be playing again in 3 weeks time but I mean this match specifically.

Would have them the other way around numbers-wise. 60/40 SA for me, whilst those odds say 60/40 India.

Time to watch Birmingham-Bolton for a bit - and Elmander gives Bolton the lead as I channel-hop. I fear that may be the only goal of the game.

1.6 vs 2.64 on Betfair.

 

[centurymaker]

Got a gut feeling that India will win this despite all that

Yes, I have noticed that too. Whenever Sachin plays an amazing innings, the team disappoints.

Won't be surprised if this happens in QF.

Yeah, agreed. If my account had more than £0.47 in I'd have a cheeky punt myself.

You know it's a poo game when Notlob are the good guys.
