Agreed. NZ too short, but strong homeside bias in market (predictably).
|
|
By:
Its nice that someone is giving us such good prices on the draw and the WI :)
|
|
By:
79/2 at lunch. Can't resist a few quid back on WI at that price. Should be nearer starting odds on that score
|
|
By:
I think a "lay NZ/back draw" strategy would work very well at present. But what ratio to use is the question I need to work out for myself. What price will NZ be if they bat till lunch tomorrow for 350 runs? What price the draw then?
|
|
By:
i laid off my draw back in the first 30 mins. But at this stage, with an oldish ball, backing the draw would seem the play until the 2nd new ball.
|
|
By:
Ive backed the draw for now at 5.1 and 4.9
If its around 190/3 at tea am I wrong in thinking the draw will be below 4 |
|
By:
this market is most odd.
i don't mind NZ at 1.6 on its own, but 3 down for 100 odd and the windies price should be much shorter pulling from the draw. essentially, the sentiment on the NZ price is that their bowlers will cause no end of difficulty for the windies, it follows therefore that the draw should be much longer. |
|
By:
you are correct in your synopsis there DStyle, and I tend to disagree with that analysis (the markets). I think that the WI will bat ok on this track, esp as they will get the best batting conditions as well. Interestingly poised in any regard.
|

By:
WTF, NZ are 257/5 and the WI are available at 9?????? and NZ are 1.61????
|

By:
Is everyone ignoring the weather forecast?
This is from YR.NO who are pretty good http://www.yr.no/place/New_Zealand/Wellington/Wellington/hour_by_hour.html Got to be some sign of draw panic unless of course this has already been priced in?? |

YEp, drizzle patches in WEllington this morning and where I am 40km north of Wellington it is raining at the moment but that is showing on the radar and WEllinton is looking ok on the radar. But I have gone a little saver on the draw and seeing how this plays out.
|
|
By:
Its not showing much at all today but could be a problem for a couple of sessions tomorrow.Not expecting it to effect the result long term but might present short term opportunities
Local updates much appreciated Tyco |
|
By:
starting to spit in Wellington according to the radio
|
|
By:
raining in Tawa and Porirua, and that is to the North and the wind is from the north. So could arrive at the ground by 10/10.30. Will wait and see
|
|
By:
Thanks for the updates Tyco161.
|
|
By:
no worries. Tawa and Porirua are about 25kms north of Wellington. But it does not mean it will rain at the ground. Often in Wellington the rain stays there but it can come around. It is looking very dark and bleak though at this stage.
|
|
By:
Starting to drizzle 500m away from the Basin. I have a man there.
|
|
By:
If it stays or not is the question. But it could delay play if they get covers on the pitch. Could be interesting.
|
|
By:
full covers are on at the basin just on the radio
|
|
By:
comss reackon that once covers come off though play can get underway reasonably quickly. Players are warming up but the weather is still falling.
|
|
By:
On the radar it looks like it will clear shortly.
|
|
By:
hoping it will clear up towards afternoon and showers tomorrow morning
 |
|
By:
yeah that maybe but it has just started raining heavier. Met service guy on the radio says it may clear in 30 mins but there are more showers forecast all day. And showers can build up in the hills and flow through.

the wellington micro climate
 |
|
By:
yep the wellington Micro climate indeed. For all I know it could rain all day. Do not think that will happen but you never know in Wellington with all the Hills around and the basin being in the middle of things.
|
|
By:
backers of NZ have got huge kahunas. At 1.53 it is not an odds on bet. really crazy prices. Has everyone forgotten Dunedin so soon?
|
|
By:
rain getting heavier according to radio comms.No play in next half hour at leasst
|
|
By:
yes, and NZ lower order going to batting on a spicey wkt again
|
|
By:
groundsman thinking an hour if they are lucky.
|
|
By:
not sure about that
|
|
By:
on tv they are saying rain getting heavier. The micro climate in action.
|
|
By:
Bryan Waddle saying more covers coming on.
|
|
By:
but look odds nz 1.55
 |
|
By:
why they short
|
|
By:
yep thats the funny one isnt it housefull. I guess this pitch will suit the NZ bowlers that much more than the WI bowlers and that is why the WI have gone out, draw come in and NZ stay the same
|
|
By:
why nz stay the same bulshit
|
|
By:
dont worry about it, lay it if you are sure. NZ been short all game and a load of money have come for them regardless. I think they are too short too but its a good opportunity that otherwise may not have been around.
|
|
By:
I think NZ seamers will do better on this pitch, but how much better remains to be seen. WI don't play the moving ball well.
|
|
By:
then why i lay nz 1.70
 |
|
By:
Looks like it is getting brighter and covers are looking at coming off soonish.
