monday + tuesday look dry but I agree, draw looks like a good place to start.
|
By:
Drw will blow out bigtime once people realise there will be a full days play first day.
By ennd of day kiwis will probbly hve been bowled out and match well advanced |
By:
Forecast has improved further , most likely first two days will be uninterupted with just a few showers on sunday.
The price of draw now way too short and will come in for a massive correction in the morning when reality dawns. I can understand people being nervous about the weather, but really they should be far more nervous about the ability of the kiwi batsmen to even make it past the first sessiom |

Big splodge of rain looks like its gonna hit .. in a few hrs. Fancy draw will shorten more, they cud be right. |
By:
Why try and decieve people ? you know perfectly well its clering , with blue skies forecast for the wellington area
|
By:
agree with ratkin get out of draw now likely to be higher on friday. buy draw back on friday evening weather looks like it could be average sat,sun and monday. hopefully the draw is trading at a good price friday
|
By:
For the record, draw is now shorter.
Adios. |
By:
100 traded at 1.25 already.. someone's keen
nz batting line-up improved, but still think this is a result. last 25 matches 24% drawn, plus the forecast really doesn't seem that bad atm |
By:
I posted the weather for the first test and got it spot on.
This test will be badly affected by rain on the first 3 days......70% chance of rain day 1.....60% day 2.....80% day 3.Days 4 and 5 dry and sunny. Of course this c r a p New Zealand batting line up could be bowled out twice on days 4 and 5!!!!! There are bad storms in NZ at the moment. |
By:
doesn't look like all that much around to me http://www.metservice.com/national/maps-rain-radar/rain-radar/all-new-zealand
lots of ramping on this thread |
By:
Forecast has been improving significantly over the last few days according to my readings - not that it was ever particularly bad.
A cautious draw lay for me to start with. |
By:
SA over evens, blimey
|
By:
agree with the ramping forcasts looking alot better
|
By:
News from ground is that outfield very wet , no chance of play starting on time , two hours at earliest , if no more rain .
Light also a problem apparantly , Umpires to have another look at 10.00 |
By:
|
By:
frigging idiots, only covered pitch not area around it, groundsmen said pitch fast and bouncy, looked green from the fringes
|
By:
Groundsman saying the saturated outfield will remain a problem for the entire match , with more rain epected tomorrow night
|
By:
Another problem is going to be light , this wikll be an issue every day , thats what happens when you play in autumn , so will be no chance to make any time up , i reckon both sides would settle for a draw
Now they talking about afternoon start :-( |
By:
think they will put main covers on so shouldnt be a problem imo, and they reckon worst case early lunch maybe 1 hour start, Ratkin not sure what u on bud
|
By:
expect we will need around 3 days play again to get a result
|
By:
another inspection 35 mins
|
By:
if saffers bowl 1st SY
|
By:
Rankin been pretty spot on IMO
|
By:
|
By:
early lunch fav
|
By:
bowling run ups fine
|
By:
saffers won't take a draw. a 1-0 win against new zealand won't do their ranking points much good
|
By:
radiosportnz just said looking at 2 hours at least
|
By:
huge green tinge on pitch, pitch very hard
|
By:
early lunch SY

to many adverts and very delayed

By:
PTTT was reading the groundsman report other day and the reason they cant put the full covers on was the high winds in this part of NZ is a major problem once blew the heavy roller from one end of the pitch to the other
|
By:
thanks WS, i remember the roller incident
|
By:
1130 inspection
|
By:
on http://www.weather.com/weather/5-day/Wellington+New+Zealand+NZXX0049 wind is f/c to be between 15mph and 25 mph
day 1 . showers 2 . showers/wind 3 . light rain - wind 22mph 4 . no rain - partly cloudy 5 . sunny possibly get 3 to 3 and a half days .... is it enough ? |
By:
early lunch taken / maybe start 1 hour after
|
By:
2.6 is a lay for me on the draw. No such thing as a free lay but this is an inexpensive one!
