You said massive favourites
To be a complete pendant
- they were described as massive favourites. Not just favourites
- when you posted, the partnership was 19.

Do you understand what someone or something being ‘odds on’ generally means?
Well, if we’re being ‘pedantic’…
When I posted, Brook had just been dismissed, the partnership was 0.

You can be favourites but not massively so
That’s a fair cop
They were never massive favourites however. Being favourites in a 2 horse race by definition means your odds on. That’s kind of how it works.

With a lead of 73 and 3 wickets to take, what would you describe it as?

He also said we were totally cooked before we even batted after their first innings, but he has never been known for his optimism even under his previous name

See the edit. The original post was made as the Brook dismissal occurred.

Marginal considering carse and Woakes can bat
And the partnership of “25” was 19 when you decided they’d moved massively.
I can’t really be arsed anymore

So why did you get so upset about it? Given that both of our observations weren’t that far apart - we both felt India were on top, as did the bookmakers.
It’s fine to disagree y’know? That sort of thing is allowed in these kinds of places.
I’m new here, if I’m building a reputation I might need to take some time away…
Anyway, it’s been an extremely good England batting performance after a horrific first day.
Still think we may struggle to take wickets unless the pitch suddenly changes

It was 22 actually
. Which wasn’t too far away given it was a total guess.As I said to chips though, it’s fine to disagree y’know
I still make India favourites.

Not going there mate
Mate in Otley says it's absolutely hammering it down there. Might be making it's way over soon
