lanza - yeah I saw that - the forecast is very bad but tempting.
|
|
By:
however it's a large block which indicates to me that someone is on the ball - i.e. it's not your usual punter
|
|
By:
surely they will get a couple of overs is. Any other thoughts out there?
|
|
By:
it's effectively a bet on whether there's any play tomorrow. Weather forecasts across the web seem inconclusive - some indicate total washouts others less rain.
Might just get on the phone to my pal at the Met Office  |

have to confess, i have no idea about the weather tomor just whats been said on the radio and on sky. With a quick look at the met office website everynow and again.
I had some money up at 1.1 hoping someone might have taken it and i could have a happy-ish night. but then someone put 2k up at 1.2 lol... Which like you say... doesnt make it seem good for the morning. I was thinking tho about laying bell at 1.2 and betting over 325 at 1.2 ish. hope bell gets out but still have some play to cover you????? im +250kp +350 bell +50 anyother Wanted / was hoping my ton  @1.11 bell would have gone. and i could have stayed in bed. ideally, i just want 1 session tomor, bell to get up and england to make 300-349. |

well I just got off the phone - no trade secrets given away but he reckons :
http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/Birmingham/hour_by_hour.html are the best which indicates a wet morning but should be time for a least a session in the afternoon. |
|
By:
its whether they can be bothered with an afternoon session
if rain falls in morning could be called off early afternoon |
|
By:
I think they will. Unfair on spectators etc..
|
|
By:
hmm.. really not looking good this morning and someone's quite happy to hit the >325 runs market at up to 1.5. Washout I reckon on the cards.

screaming from beneaththewaves

V. good point. Explains why Ajantha Mendis is the number-2 ranked international T20 bowler. Yeah agree with all this - Mendis is a possible example of the way Narine's career might go. Just think it is a bit premature to make a judgement based on one match - he's got a lot of ability - can he translate that into being a good test bowler ? |

Its currently peeing down in Kettering Northants. Is anybody closer to the ground?
|
|
By:
covers on, light drizzle, on SSN
|
|
By:
currently dry but overcast-v hopeful might get some cricket this morning.
|
|
By:
now raining .... light bit enough not to start
|
|
By:
Why don't they just suspend the match odds market?
|
|
By:
Wonder how much money Warks have lost in this test.
|
|
By:
think they are compensated by the ECB in some way
|
|
By:
it's not so much the ticket money for which they have insurance it's beer at 4 quid a throw and food etc which they haven't flogged
|
|
By:
shame for warwickshire gonna be a loss making year most likely, similar situation sent glamorgan nearly bankrupt, dont they have to pay the ECB a stack to hold a test venue
 |
|
By:
looks like half the t20 matches going to be washed out this week as well
|
|
By:
Astonishing this wasn't called off at 1pm. If it stopped now (and it won't for 4+ hours) how much play could they get in ?
Last week there was a bit of innovative umpiring when they shortened an innings break in a CB 40 game to ensure a 10 over second innings. What is this all about ? Are they looking at radar images of The Sahara ffs ? |
|
By:
they have to bid for the International games
i am not sure there is any form of protection from the ECB. i think its just tough luck they would have lost a stack lad of cash from this. |
|
By:
also haven't got another test match till 2015, so could well be right up sh*t creak
|
|
By:
Umps bought 225 runs.
|
|
By:
guess warwickshire want to keep todays gate receipts from the 7 poeople that are currently there at ground
 |
|
By:
congratulations draw backers,been a rocky road last 10 days
|

By:
Took them 'til 3.10pm to force feed seven pensioners two dozen burgers. Cricket the winner, once again.
|
|
By:
simply baffling that the 2nd biggest ground outside lords and the one england probably like playing at best won't have a test against australia next year or india in 2014
|
|
By:
With the recent results,the strength of the crowd,and the atmospere they create,the decision to not give them another Ashes Test is nothing short of a disgrace imho. As Vaughan and Flintoff have been quoted,the fans at Edgbaston are our 12th man.

By:
Agreed. Cricket is a baffling sport at times. There is so much good about it and it's exciting but fans are treated with contempt and so it seems good venues.
