Betfair has them at 2.30 to win surely that has to represent good value.
Although India clearly have a chance of getting them but in my view 1.75 is not good value on India
Thanx Bigjohn.
Even on a flat track, that's a buy.
Requires biggest run chase ever on the ground too.
Its by no means a certainty but almost 11/8 against on WI win having scored 321 has to be worth a small nibble.
If India had posted that score WI would surely be about 5/1 to chase it down
Not been following it but always happy to back runs on the board.
Unless England are playing, of course.
Or Pakistan.
Rampaul to Rahane, no run, beaten outside off, loud appeal from Rampaul! Beautiful ball outside of with a bit of shape going away, Rahane looked to push but was beaten by the movement
OT: Boxing. A very interesting look at those who fight in the main event, but will never be the main event.
Have a real go against some of these up and coming boys, don't play to the script, and the phone isn't going to go the following week. Upset people's plans and stop them making money and you're not going to get any work.
Raising the basic rate tax threshold to £12,500 is a priority, he says.
I know that some people think I bang on too much about our success in raising the personal allowance from where we found it – just under £6,500 – to £10,500. But I don’t think we bang on about it enough.
It is, in my view, quite remarkable that a party experiencing it’s first stint in government, which only has 9% of the MPs in Westminster, should have succeeded in driving through the biggest and fairest transformation of our income tax system in a generation. If that isn’t something to bang on about – loud and proud – I really don’t know what is.
The Tories opposed this, he says.
The Conservatives couldn’t have been more explicit that it wasn’t their priority during our Budget negotiations where, year after year, it was frequently referred to as ‘your tax cut, Nick’.
Apparently it’s our tax cut in private, but it’s their tax cut in public. In 2012 - I’ll never forget this – Danny and I said: let’s go further and faster to cut people’s income tax. It’s possible now, so why wait? George Osborne turned to me and said: I don’t want to deliver a Liberal Democrat Budget. He insisted instead on the Tory bit of the Budget: a cut to the top rate of tax. I can’t think of a better, simpler illustration of what sets the two coalition parties apart.
Is he still standing by his bed, waiting for that third defection to UKIP?
Well, the Nats went down fairly limply in the end. I did at least weight my betfair book against them in the end, which softens the blow slightly.
We won't get 20/1 next year though, it will be back to the 9/1 quotes from 2013. However, I do have a team in mind that I think may get mispriced; watch this space a few weeks hence.
Indeed, for all the rhetorical attacks on the Tories today – they only look after their ‘own kind’, and believe that ‘every worry can be fixed with a big wave of the Union Jack’ thundered Clegg – a second Tory-Lib Dem coalition seems increasingly likely.
"Beyond Rotherham: scale of child sex exploitation in England
Exclusive: Channel 4 News finds that more than 6,000 children across England have been reported as at risk of child sex exploitation since the beginning of 2013. Cordelia Lynch reports."
Watched the speech. Disliked the chummy long lists. Performance generally good, occasionally very good. The Farage pronunciation was amusing, but raising the debates did remind me Clegg had told lies over how many laws came from Brussels.
Still peddling equi-distance. Not sure if anyone's listening to the Lib Dems anymore, but if they are then splitting firepower is unwise, I suspect.
Hugely unimpressed with his pathetic dismissal of equality for England. Good of Clegg to tell us that it's not acceptable to vote UKIP, but it'd be better if he'd given a fuller list of opinions we are permitted.
In more important news, some of you may remember quite a while ago I mentioned Malevolence: Tales from Beyond the Veil, an anthology of ghost stories and the like including the excellent Saxon & Khan, penned by me. It was delayed for a technical reason (I think), but should be released on the 19th of this very month, so if you were good enough to pre-order it should be in your hands in a fortnight or so.

It was fun while it lasted, and like you I layed off a bit. Got me acquainted for the first time with baseball too, though on balance I think cricket is far superior.

Internet reports suggest a second Spanish auxiliary nurse may have been infected with Ebola.
Imagine if IS sent 20 jihadis to West Africa to rub shoulders with Ebola, then got them to sit on the Tube in London and the Metro in Paris for a week or two. *shudders*

it's bodily fluid borne not airborne.
They would have to get onto the tube, cut themselves open, or vomit, and then hope that the people they hit with their innards/vomit had cuts themselves.
Not impossible but it's prob easier/more efficient to get an AK or two into central London.
"Beyond Rotherham: scale of child sex exploitation in England

And how many have not been reported, because the police and council authorities look the other way? Thousands of children have been raped and yet the silence from our political class is deafening. It's been six weeks since the Jay report came out, and there's been no national action on it at all.
I'm coming round to the Sean Fear position that a substantial swathe of our political class are actually evil. Certainly no-one with any morality in them would hear of such a thing and not want to get to the bottom of it. The fact that so many politicians seem to be like that really frightens me.

This could be a useful rumour to spread. Might make people more inclined to use a hankerchief when sneezing on the Tube.

"Did you see the frenzied bile from the Tory Right against our plan to give young children at primary school a healthy meal at lunchtime?”
What an idiotic line. No-one has opposed giving poor kids a healthy school lunch. What some of us are opposing is the taxpayer providing that to kids from wealthy families too.

The contrast with the News of the World, phone hacking and Leveson is not looking good for British politics as a whole.
Did Miliband remember to name-check Murdoch in his speech? [It's in the text, but maybe he forgot?] None of the three main party leaders said anything about Rotherham.

I've made John Rentoul's QTWTAIN list
@JohnRentoul: "Is Clegg set to announce his departure today?" Return to top #QTWTAIN form from Political Betting http://t.co/9dxWX4tbcF
Sounds pleasing.
Miliband forgot the deficit.....Clegg forgot to resign.....
The electorate will just have participated in the biggest collective act of self-harming on record...

BBC News website reader texts: Nick Clegg, brilliant speech... just one problem nobody believes him.
Odd how an annoymous text gets such prominence. Is it making the news fit an agenda?
