I laid under 135 runs at a short price so no real loss, but I thought it was in the bag.
What a stroke of luck - I had a red book either way. I think people were laying Kings XI Punjab for the last ball at 1.01 even though they couldn't possibly lose.

My brother who's five years older than me once whacked the ball over the park fence and scored about 30 runs while I ran out of the park to get it.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 5:37 amTo encourage the spectacle of T20 I've always felt a one bounce 4 should be a 5!

Also, if the ball hits one of the fielders helmets when temporarily taken off during an over.
