I'm looking at Spain for a few months after the next test but the Far East would be easier to trade during the winter. It would be Thailand as I know it well but long term visas are a nightmare. Malaysia is good for Brits as you get a 3 month visa on arrival and you can get a condo in Penang for 300 a month with motorbike and once a week cleaner. I've been at my parents for the last 4 months and need to get out asap.

Looks deceived at Kingsmead when despite blue skies and sunshine, no play was possible on day three. A wet outfield, which has not recovered from the recent relaying process, took 65mm of rain overnight and did not dry out over the course of the morning and early afternoon. It has received a full day of sunshine and, barring any further mishaps, should be ready for play on Monday morning. Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and the rest of South Africa's attack will find conditions completely different to what they were when they took the field on Saturday afternoon. The overcast skies and persistent drizzle have moved away and after a full day of sun, the pitch would have flattened out. |

Even if the outfield does recover for them to start on time which I'm not convinced about, the pitch should be much easier to bat on and there's likely to be less cloud about.
Draw 1.01 Train for me |
|
By:
I'm still sitting tight, with not much sunshine hours today, low winds and a little bit of dew over night I just can't see them starting on time again tomorrow.
I'm no expert but at 11am this morning they said that there had been very little improvement in the conditions and then the umps foot sunk 3 inches in the mud in the inner field. This was said 3 hours after the pitch was first looked at. |

Did manage to get £1.5k of draw at 1.58 earlier today although spoiled it by laying again for £1.25k of it at 1.48. Didn't really imagine they'd lose the whole day. Am therefore only losing just over £5k on this one. Total carnage for me on this round of tests, having cleaned up on the last. Am beating myself up a bit for being greedy with my NZ lay with my huge green early on day 2, wanting 3.1 or so when SA bowlers were obviously all over the openers like a rash. Didn't call the amount of rain to end the day's play, let alone the effect on the outfield though. Just felt like a game where bad weather would give the excellent swing bowling on both sides enough that even time lost wouldn't prevent a result but doesn't at all look like turning out that way.
I've been too greedy with taking on draw red and not buying any draw back at higher prices too. That 4.1-4.2 on the evening of day 1 looks immense in retrospect but was hoping for the SA innings to end that evening and 5s or near to be up, without realising they'd go off for light with the sun and the floodlights both up. I was even thinking a couple of overs for SA and a wicket was possible. Too romantic. |

The last few tests i've been lying down in the open with my a;ss facing the sky and the rain has fecked me every time.
Got the better of it this time though nowhere near the losses ive had. |

Sunshine and a decent breeze forecast for the morning. SAF Met says could be a bit of rain in the pm.
|
|
By:
NZ can't win from here bar something extraordinary, but SAF still can.
|
|
By:
I can't see anything but a draw unless NZ have to follow on. You might as well back under 75 runs rather than lay the draw. Faf is deputising as captain so I can't see him being bold with a declaration.
Only Hanse Cronje could summon a result from here, re "sporting" declarations. |

Must be some horror books out there for the draw traders - pretty much straight lines for both tests, very little bounces to save books... |
