I'd BESEECH anyone with access to a betting account to put a quid on the draw, at prices ranging from 500/1 to 750/1. What's the worst that can happen? You lose a quid. What's the best that can happen? The heavens open and there's no more play

They have shown today it is possible to score runs so only really delaying the inevitable, I hope.

Same, except I've done a quid or two @ 500/1 and the same again @ 750/1. Never underestimate the ability of England to fold like a deck of cards.

He had everything to gain nothing to lose so an obvious move. I am sure he would be worried about a few people calling him a cheat if he batted long enough for the heavens to open and they got a draw.

How will England 'folding like a deck of cards' help your bet on a DRAW, exactly??

I remember the famous 500/1 England win at Headingley in 1981. Lillee made an embarrassing packet.

Quite. There is a reason the draw is 750/1. Because it won't happen. They'd need the last 2 or 3 wickets to add 300 runs, and England to tip tap their way towards the target until the heavens opened.

Tell you what chaps, why not lump a quid on Bournemouth winning the league?

That was ASTOUNDING. Still remember listening to that test on the radio in absolute AWE. Lesson learnt to put a quid or two on the unlikeliest of England cricketing results. Just for shits and giggles, like.
