backing fraw again hoprfully i can get back to where i was last night, such an idiot

Most likely IMHO guys like myself earlier just laying off nice profits - happens all the time in these markets. A great strategy must be to watch for it and indeed look at where the bookeis are in relation to the exchanges and back when say 10-20% higher.

why an idiot King? These things happen. You've profited. You can't get everything 100% right. Some of the howlers I've made in 1 day'ers is painful. I don't touch them anymore.

Sunday looks fine, think your looking at the wrong forecast retracted |
|
By:
follow on is still 150 for a 3 day game. only gets reduced to 100 for a 2 day game

off offician. first time since 1964 2 complete days in a row have been lost in england i believe
|

By:
draw crashing again.... 1.1 soon come on the 1.1
|

From the lads at CricInfo:
1.50pm Play has been abandoned for the day. This is the first time since 1964 that the first two days of an England home Test have been washed out. These days we can make up time when play does start, but although the forecast is better for tomorrow later in the weekend is dodgy again. On that note I'll sign off for the day. We'll be back tomorrow to try again. Fingers crossed everyone. Bye. |

By:
max draw aint going 1.1 unless we get a delayed start tomo.
For the draw to be 1.1, Eng have to be 10+. Be plenty of england backers at that price i assure you. |
|
By:
Thought the draw would shorten further with two whole days gone. The forecast looks slightly better for Saturday and Sunday but Monday looks dreadful again, thought we could have seen 1.1 or shorter today but suppose there is a possibility of a fair few overs in the next two days.

Assuming the weather is dry, how does everyone see the chances of them walking out at 11am tomoz, given the amount of rain they've shipped?
|
|
By:
0
|
|
By:
20%
|
|
By:
0% because they would be starting @ 10:30
 |
|
By:
Wrong. They will be starting at 11am.
Very likely to start on time if there is no significant overnight rain. |
|
By:
dont they start @ 10:30 to make up for lost time?
|
|
By:
Don't forget time for the toss too.
|

By:
98 overs, made up at the end of the day
|
|
By:
98 overs in theory. fanciful in practice. you'd imagine the spinners will hardly bowl an over in these conditions so the over rates will be even more pedestrian than usual
|
|
By:
If no overs are lost tomorrow, they have from 11-7pm (with an hour in total for lunch and tea) to bowl 98 overs.
|
|
By:
Hitting the draw again at 1.16.
Reasoning - Agree with mafeking - 98 overs are fanciful. Also think rain anticipated around 5pm Sunday and Monday - prediction for overs is around 240 - I just don't think that's enough. Bookies are mostly sub 1.1 now as well |
|
By:
bookies are pretty clueless tho. most were 7/2 the draw last week
 |
|
By:
The forecast for the weekend is better - although showers remain likely - but the outfield has taken a battering over recent days and despite improved drainage there are a number of very soggy areas that will cause concern. With the series decided none of the players will want to take risks on a wet outfield.
|
|
By:
Lix - they tend to just follow the weight of money less 10% - I often like opportunities where the exchanges are greatly above all of them and vice versa (for arbing of course)
|
|
By:
really looking forward to tomorrow's play - will be quite exciting I suspect

back on the drift

I am intrigued as to the number of posts that you have made recently. You joined in 2002 and have only made just over 400 posts. You must have made around 50 on this thread. Just curious.  |

By:

By:

I am not having a go at Nigel. He has posted very accurate things about the weather forecasts too. I am just curious at the number of posts he has made recently. I am not a prolific poster myself. I have made only 128 posts since 2006. |
