I have Shalke to thank for reminding me of this market. Used to trade it before I left for Purple.
*May lose everything, but don't come crying to me.
175 red still, but was 1800 red at 5/87, so happy with that. Hopeful to get another opportunity. Either riding Ireland up for a bit, or getting onto WI a bit higher.
but was only covering the potential large loss having gone on under earlier. Not been this happy to win 38quid in the end for awhile! -phew

ireland have any chance here?
Of course Ireland have a chance. I don't think it happens, but this is West Indies, and Sammy probably out of the attack. Have to think all things considered, WI probably should have been scoring 360+ here. Small ground, easy boundaries. But I think they only really have a couple of players that would need to do the majority of the scoring.
You only need to look at the game against Pakistan, albeit 2013. Which on second glance was actually tied.
Got Pakistan 5 for 266 after 47 overs, then obviously rain, and they needed 276 to win.
They were 5/275 at the end of the 47th, tieing the match. 103 Stirling, 84 not out off 47 K O'Brien. Pakistan near full strength.
Can they? Yes. Will they? I doubt it. Think WI very big odds really, and only that high because they are WI and likely to do anything. Probably have WI 1.09-1.10.
Hoping they start well though, because if they do these odds can jump pretty quickly. Wickets will be much more violent movements though I think in the market.
Goal for mine would be to ride a little bit of Ireland runs should it happen, with a view to get on WI. Will trade out equally should this happen, but happier to be longer term trades on WI than Ireland as I feel that is where the long term trend will be. Hoping to see Ireland start well, maybe lay WI around 1.25 looking for 1.30-1.35. Maybe look to do that a couple of times. All depends on what happens really. Ireland could come out and do nought. Think we all want them to think they are in the game though, for a long time.
IMO anyway.

Well ultimately, we are looking to get a lay in just before a wicket, or get out of a back just before a wicket.
Ride the runs risking a wicket, or ride the wickets risking runs.
Some people will have positions now, but I always like to treat each innings independently of each other and base any move on what is happening in the match, with different scenarios playing out in my head. Whatever works for you. Today it isn't yet, but long term it is. 
I think for the most part the score will be too intimidating for them to chase and too daunting. Think wickets come in clumps today, how early that is we will see. Hoping that doesn't come to pass as want to see bigger odds again. Think they are big now, but never touch odds that short regardless at this point in the game.
What is your position? Just the caught?
Did for 18 months at Purple and found it requires learning some new skills.
When I came back to bf, I decided to stick to pre-play and series markets. Where I can reliably make money, without the stress of in-play.
But what would we know.
You are suggesting WI won't win because Narine isn't playing? Are you saying anything or just attacking everybody without an actual opinion?
I thought Windies were home and hosed after posting 300+, but I'm going to have to reevaluate.

How do you cash out on Aussie markets? The cash out option is not showing up for me.
What? Same way you always do, trade off on the exchange. Cash out?

It's good to see Stirling do it on the big stage; he's been my favourite batsman since Damien Martyn retired.
May be worth a lay Ireland soon if old mate is no good.
No position for me at the moment. Hoping for a wicket then reassess. Otherwise, sit on my hands, well one hand, keep the other one busy with beer. Disastrous day turned good. Well, respectable anyway. Would hate to give any of that up now. Ireland value to back now, but main player cramping up equals watch and drink.
One set batsman. Have to judge the new man after facing a few up then assess from there.
- fair play to Ireland though, fun to watch
Yet winning on the match, amazing talent.
West Indies hit 800.00, have you ever seen a team win after being as big as that

Yeah, that rings a bell.
I seem to remember now that England hit 1000.00 in a Test against Sri Lanka a few years ago. I think it was at Cardiff.
As a Welshman, I'd rather earn **** all than kiss the 3 lions. Morgan, Rankin et al are a complete disgrace.
They wanted to play Test cricket, the pinnacle of the game and you call them a disgrace?
I shouldve just gone even green, didnt think ireland had a hope in hell tho oh well
I layed Windies thinking they were terribly short.
I put in a trade overnight and woke to find the trade was taken thanks to early Windies wickets.
Felt pleased with myself that they went on to get 300.
Then felt a right chump when I heard the result...
