Scotland v Afghanistan at Edinburgh

CM Market looking very short at the mo. Forecast is rain later this afternoon but looking clear for now.

Any live pictures for this?

Betunfair v slow at updating the scores/CM market. Have espncricinfo window open and no mention yet of rain delay

What's the minimum numbers of overs required for a CM - 10 a side?

Not 100% sure, mate. But I thought it was 20 overs for a CM, in a ODI game.

It's 20 overs.

Thanks guys - anyone know if there's a reserve day?

No Reserve Day

Lunch is being taken early here at the Grange

@ Chandigarh - Are you in Edinburgh at the moment mate? Does it look like a break in the rain at all this pm?

No buddy not in edinburgh but watching radar

Ok, cheers mate.

currently It's not raining in edinburgh

Inning of Afghans will be completed imo

Rain will come back around 3:35

the umpires are having a look

Have gone nicely positive on CMM by backing yes at 4.9 early then 6.4 once the rain started and setting up lays back in the 3s. Such a swingy market when it's showery.

Good news! Play will resume at 3:10pm with the loss of no overs

Same here, Fatslogger but hoping for some more game play before trading out.

I got a bit too twitchy, probably but still pleased to have got a 3 lay matched. Was hoping we'd have lost enough time to have the Afghan innings finish though. Real danger it will rain again with Scotland a few overs in.

Thanks, C 

Anyone know what time play can continue until tonight? Surprised they haven't lost any overs yet

It will rain for one and a half hour minimum

Anyone know cutoff time

CMM No is looking free money here

Really Chand? Looks like a small shower on my radar. Trying to get some buys and lays traded in a fairly blocky market, which was going well until this latest rain delay.

i am also looking on radar,It's seems like it's notgoing to stop before 5:30

Backed huge No

do u pay too to weather radar sites

CUTOFF TIME ???????????

Well darkness descends on Edinburgh at 10 pm and as it's going to rain until then, should be academic. Fill your boots.

fuzz do u know the drainage quality of Grange Cricket Club Ground

Looks screwed now. Thought it was clearer later but not convinced any more and 20 overs is not a trivial amount to get in. I've done in my position a bit although still plus so could've been worse.

Don't pay for radar no. What's the benefit?

can view for extended time up to 3 hours by paying

It shows the density of the clouds too

How much of the world does it cover?

not world just for uk

Hmm, useful for English CMM still, I suppose.

It will rain till 7:15 friends

Now please calculate cutoff time for me

I think I'm a big enough roller to justify it.

This looks bad for any more play soon but clearing later and would probably only need 90 minutes to get a game in. Is it definitely over? I don't think it is but messed up my position too badly earlier to take a stand even at 20s.

I told mates CMM No is FREE MONEY

All over, rain has abandoned today's ODI. We'll be back for the second match on Wednesday

Good call Chand. I won a whole fiver so I'm happy. Surprised they called off so early. Assume waterlogged so no chance of play.

Good weather radar is worth every penny - for me it pays for itself hundreds of times over during the course of the great British 'summer' :)

Took me a while to crack weather trading limited overs. You need to be good at reading the radar.

I've got okay at radar reading although I miscalled this game, expecting clearer skies later, which were clearly irrelevant because too much rain had fallen by mid afternoon.  Shame as had got into a position where some judicious backing of no could have got me a nice profit at low risk.

I'll buy the radar next time there's a CMM I'm interested in or for Lord's at the latest.

FS, you'll get a chance to practice some more tommorow. Looks like some showers from mid-afternoon in Edinburgh.
