Australia vs New Zealand 3rd test

[jaiminpatel]

The game starts on 02/01/2020. 17:30 CST.
Chances of rain for last 3 days and expect a flat pitch in Sydney. So to start with I’m taking small position for draw to start with. Will hedge it as game progress but draw look really good to me right now.
Draw 5.5.

[jaiminpatel]

Added little more for draw, as it lowered at 5.0

Draws are rare in test cricket these days

Draws aew rare in test cricket these days

Exactly. Because of introduction of T20I , in past 10 years draws are becoming sparse.
Only weather affected games are drawing now a days.
I have parlay riding from weekend nfl games with win for Australia. So I’m trying to hedge it and make a little money. But if wether gods will be on my side and draw happens, I’m poised to make huge money.
We’ll see.

[jaiminpatel]

Australia bats. NZ five changes.... odds dropped to 1.21.

[asiagambler]

Will the Sydney fires disrupt play

Will the Sydney fires disrupt play

If it does, that helps the Draw

[jaiminpatel]

If it does, that helps the Draw

That and chance of rain on final 2 days.
But it all depends on New Zealand batting.
Ideally if Australia score 450+.... Then New Zealand have to score at leas 350, to have draw some hope.
But let’s see, I’m hedged nicely , so not betting any more... but really wish draw, that will be huge win ( 50 units)!!!!!!

[jaiminpatel]

As expected, Australia end up 283/3 after 1st day. They gonna pose big total here at least 500+. If New Zealand can ball well tomorrow may be decrease scoring rate little.
Likely they have to bat last session of day 2. They must negotiate with minimum damage.

[asiagambler]

Need rain

[jaiminpatel]

Need rain

Yup , I agreed. But will take 70/0 New Zealand at end of day!!!

[jaiminpatel]

No rain or stupid ass smoke yet.. Australia cruising nicely at 350/5 at lunch.... may will accelerate little in next session... NZ should try to hold them!!!!! Draw dreams still alive!!

Sydney pitch is usually flat. I think India managed draw here a few years ago.

[slayer14]

New Zealand need to bat say 120 overs 1st innings and score around 320 total.

[jaiminpatel]

New Zealand need to bat say 120 overs 1st innings and score around 320 total.

That’s what actually, I hope as well that they play at least 120 overs and 350 runs... then rain dance on fourth day..

[jaiminpatel]

Australia all out for 454. Pitch looks degrading.... New Zealand in reply 63/0... Good day overall.
Tomorrow ideally would like New Zealand to bat whole day, if they can survive.

[asiagambler]

Maybe they can use delay tactics?

[MiDNiTe]

This pitch looks like a road, scg usually spin heaps on day 4,5 so NZ need to bat all day tomorrow

[slayer14]

If New Zealand score 350 this has to be a nailed on draw, i cant see Australia forcing the game to much they would want to set up a 450 target minumum you think with test matches being so important these days due to the test championship.

[MiDNiTe]

Yeah with NZ being the number 2 test nation in the world Australia will bat so NZ won't have a sniff

[slayer14]

Test championship final is next year in June

[slayer14]

If New Zealand bat with any sense they should score 350 at least.

[jaiminpatel]

1st wicket down. 68/1. 😢😢

[jaiminpatel]

117/3 now.. reeling .. as usual.. playing like New Zealand.

[jaiminpatel]

NZ done for 251.
Australia bats again.

[asiagambler]

I notice bet365 has draw still as outside chance (7.00)

NZ didn't have to follow on, that's good though right for draw chances?

Australia going to declare early I assume? I see about 50% chance of rain for tomorrow

Draw, needs, rain of at least one session. 40-50% chance of rain tomorrow morning and afternoon session.
Australia will declare early tomorrow, may be after they reach 400 runs lead.
Praying for rain tomorrow morning 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

420 is target

[asiagambler]

Already a wicket. This is over

New Zealand are a fragile cricket team since world cup final
