Looks like being heavily wet on Sunday and Monday, with chance of rain on Saturday as well:

Given, they can't make up lost overs by that point I'm backing the draw here quite heavily but only a small stake initially.
It's a result wicket though so will rely on that rain coming.

Most money I ever lost in a test match resulted from me relying on a NZ weather forecast.
About 6K as I recall. Just saying. * The o in match above is just weird **** happening. |

By:
Yep. Weather forecasts are touch and go particularly 6 days out - just flagging it up and hence why I'll start small and keep an eye on it. Just thinking that the draw could go out heavily to say 10 on a load of wickets but weather forecast not change. Market always seems to forget weather in play test matches.

Trying to think of the most I've lost on the weather - probably around £1k - I find good reliability up to two days out - then it becomes a lottery, however if there's large amounts forecast as there is here it usually sweeps in at some point.

new zealand forecast can be tricky as they are hard to get accurate. its not like asia where the rain usually comes in the evening.it would be value to be in contact with local to help with profit pitch should have a bit more pace and bounce than dunedin is likely to get easier to play as the match goes on. will back the draw if england bats first.

The entire north island is in a major drought at the moment, hasn't been hardly any rain here in Wellington for the last couple of months (half a day of light showers that I can remember) and metservice has rain on Monday only. I have laid NZ for now but might look at backing england if they bowl first.

Really? Looks to agree to the Norwegian site I posted earlier:

The weather forcaster on one news staked his reputation on rain on Sunday. Its the remains of a cyclone system heading south so should be heavy if it arrives. He is a NUT though.
Fookin fed up with the sun! NZ will have wrapped this up before then so weather not a problem |

By:
Well metservice did have rain starting Monday but they've changed it now. Perhaps I had it open in my browser from the previous evening or something.
MetService forecaster Brooke Lockhart said there was an increased chance of showers across the Wellington region for a few days from Sunday. But the forecast was uncertain at this stage, because it depended on what path Tropical Cyclone Sandra took as it headed south towards the Tasman Sea. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8417298/Wellingtons-water-supply-now-at-crisis-level |

|
By:

|
|
By:
good wicket for draw backers
 |
|
By:
why has Finn not come in??
|
|
By:
out comes the trott. england wont score 100 runs in this session now.
|
|
By:
Tough game for NZ backers.
9.4 before the first ball, Cook gone with just 26 on the board and NZ are 10.0.  |
|
By:
tbf though they were 16's before the wicket

By:
I'm on England from the off but some crazy movement on the NZ price?
|
|
By:
Good shout Captain Christy! Just to repeat a comment I made on the other test board the new Compton is batting like the old Compton just without the dashing good looks and brylcream.

By:
Grim weather forecast for day 5 I can see the draw trading a lot lower than these prices
|
|
By:
what's the spread on Pietersen first innings runs?
|
|
By:
i thought the draw would be shorter than this by now
