Black Caps v Pakistan
-
Pakistan's chase just seemed illogical. If they wanted a draw, they should have defended all the way through. If they wanted to have a chance of winning, their openers needed to bat at a quicker rate. By the time Pakistan decided that they wanted to have a go at the chase, they were already too far behind. Of course, their tail should be able to stick around a lot longer than they did in this game.

Watching betfair is almost as exciting as watching cric info! NZ now at 2.02, Draw at 1.83
I had money on the draw at $3.60 from early on day 1 (looked like a lot of rain in the forecast)
Covered it with an NZ win at $5 earlier today.
The odds changes have been very dramatic today.

Fuck me sideways, that's a collapse and a half. 2-0 is a great result, what a start to our summer of cricket!

I think that's correct.

Rain ruined this chance to beat Pakistan http://www.espncricinfo.com/nzvpak2009/engine/match/423780.html I think Watling would have got us home in that game.

I love cricket and love to support the BC's but this sort of last session collapse just seems all too surreal
-
@Donsteppa I was there that day.
The 9 wickets Pakistan lost in the final session to lose the test is a record.

Yeah, I know where you are coming from, but I don't want to let suspicions of fixing ruin my enjoyment of any unexpected results in sport. They're the best moments, so I'll treasure them until there is evidence to suggest otherwise.
-
It would really be extraordinary. If you match fix - you have to do so in advance. You can't just decide to do it on the day.
If you are suspicious of match fixing you would have to assume that Pakistan did their best until tea and then got out deliberately after that. There are a few problems with that, however. What if the openers had just been dismissed last night? Then the bookies lose a lot of money. If they did match fix, then basically the whole team would have to have been in on it. Also wouldn't it be obvious just by looking at the betting history whether or not there was match fixing? It should also be pointed out that I don't there has been any match fixing in cricket since Cronje. Bookies find it far easier to do spot fixing as there is less scrutiny around it.

Wagner's last 12 months in Test cricket have delivered 50 wickets at 21.
-
Bad declaration imo.
