Tips for Tikay

AB De Villiers 11/2 Top SA batsman

World class batsman, price two points higher than it would be after Smith and Amla at the Oval

ABdV scored 174 here last tour

Small interest

The Markets are all currently suspended. IF this comes available again, do we still want it?

Yes. He's brilliant, you won't see 5-1+ that often. It's priced after Amla-gate.

You can try to get 6.6 on Betfair.

Currently EXACTLY 6 on Betfair.

I will have £20 for myself, but Fred is NOT on.

Be careful if betting on the rowing. Wind is reported to be giving some lanes an advantage. Some saying rowing should not be going ahead whilst others saying the wind is just light.

Lane 1 is the death lane apparently so i guess you need to be in a higher lane. Womens 8 should have no chance of a medal, apparently, but in lane 6 they do. In another race the men are in lane 1 and are screwed.

Cracking info this.  Draw bias can be really important  in a lot of sports and can lead to situations where  certain competitorsnhave a huge advantage.  I once had a book on it in horse racing by some fella called Whelton.  Was a bit crap though really.

James Cracknell not happy on 5 live.

On better news Peter Wilson going well in the double trap. Great chance of gold.

Pitch fine at Headingley. Any movement will be in air not off pitch

Looking like wrong decision made by Eng

SA clear favourites to me, already.

Draw too short at 6/5 by my reckoning.

Dolly down at slip, marv

Interesting decision to call that a dead ball when none of the earlier instances of knocking the stumps down were called. I guess Steve Davies just got fed up putting the bails back on.

Now a dead-ball when Smith caught as Finn's hand hit stumps through delivery.

Farce.

Horrible umpiring. There will be ructions.

It is VERY important that I correct you there, red.

The name of the author was Wheldon, Graham Wheldon. W-H-E-L-D-O-N. Think he goes by the alias of chompy these days.

The book was a "bit" crap"? Pure, 100%, premier grade crap, imo.

Good umpiring.
Smith had previously mentioned it to the umpire and he was left with no choice.

Here's the relevant Law on MCC's website: http://bit.ly/OHcrwI. Still doesn't explain why Davis didn't call dead ball for earlier instances

Meh.

He didn't call it on three previous occasions. Then calls it that time.

Meh.

I guess Smith only complained after the third time.
Definitely unfortunate, especially for anyone backing England to have the bigger opening partnership.
