Another qualifying game.
Pre-toss, Maroons were 1.90 favs, but, Volts won the toss, decided to bowl, and Bolts are now fav, at 1.93
Run line, is 154
Maroons batted well, but, their bowling was abysmal .. So, would like to be with the Volts, if the go above evens.
For the time being, I have no position.
Seems the pitch, is much drier, and it's definately a bat first pitch, especially as the Maroons, have spinners, to extract maximum pressure, bowling second.
Prices are a bit all over the place .. Volts still just favs.
Am not so sure now, about, being with the Volts, so, will have a look.
Both captains said they would have batted first .. So, dunno .. Comms were addament, it was a bat first pitch !! Thou, they also said, it's a hard ground to defend .. Make your mind up !!
Anyway, here we go.
Maroons 1-0 after 1, Volts 1.78
