Generally middling totals and a pitch predicted to spin later point to another India win.
Some showers in the forecast.
Normally I'm wary of dead rubbers involving India as they have a history of letting up when a series is won, but India should be too good and I will just back them.

Another inspection at 11.30. By the time we are ready for play, it will rain again
No rain at the moment but clouds around Queens Park Oval. Umpires inspecting outfield at the moment.
looks like everyone at the cricket is watching the badminton
makes a change..soo close
sun is out but still soaked under foot,next inspection 1.00pm..players are at their hotels!
As long as though don't resort to trying to use cat-litter to dry the pitch.

yeah im just gonna do mine on manure, think they should have enough to beat soton
covers going on, looks like its about to rain, outfield going to take another pounding
Is there a realistic chance of the match being called off altogether (and therefore all bets voided) if they don't get any overs in today? I'm just thinking a draw lay here might be a much lower risk bet than it looks.
Any prolonged rain and play tomoro will be unlikely too
So what happens if it rains until tea on day 5 and they can't get the pitch dry in time to play any overs? Is it just classed as a draw?
sky refusing to say its off for the day,even though kohli is walking away with a suitcase in hand!w@nkers...im off to the pub to get annoyed by all the surrey Man utd fans!..im on them to win too tom so apologies for the curse

missed a 2.1 double with Lyon. I feel your pain brother but at least the M25 was clear at hometime tonight!
Evening ladies. Backed draw at 1.45 and have recovered from the earlier horror. Weather similar for the next few days but have still layed the draw further... who knows what westindies are capable of.
why the vast difference between the prices..after all 62/2 isnt a disaster.
I'd say becuase WI have to take 20 wickets in 3 days to win and India may only have to bat once to win, that and the fact that WI should be arrested for impersonating Test Cricketers!
Also, in the last game, Windies were 107-1 in their first innings with 2 days to go. They lost the game in 5 sessions.
I've kind of written this one off but if we manage to get 3 days play then the test is far from over. India will want to get W.I out by tea today to give them 4 good sessions to bat and a 200-250 lead. India will only be looking to bat once but they still might get the option to knock off the last few runs on day 5. Fingers crossed for some play today.
Draw on massive drift. Praying for play and a couple of early wickets. I don't want too much.
Layed the draw at 1.06!
Unfortunately I jumped on India t 4's on Bet365 so really only looking to recoup those losses but this is WI.
Anything can still happen if we get 3 days play. I am hoping for early wicvkets and WI getting rolled over to cover myself on Bet365 and I might let the 1.06 lay ride!
Damage limitation. It was bloody hard work getting it, the real skill though is in keeping it!

Nice one Mr Death. I hope these short price draw backers get done again.
Ffs, inspection at 4pm. Looking like gsm on the draw now.
cashed out now. Surely they can simply get a hose and some water pumps though?
I am pretty sure the ICC is gonna ask questions here. This is disgraceful really, unless the rains before the game have a big part to play.
The only way to get a contest now would be for both teams to declare an innings. Perhaps sky ought to ask for their money back to encourage them to bring the drainage up to international standards.
Managed to turn this game around and have a reasonable green on all results now. It's a good job really as I've been absolutely rinsed on all other sports in the last few weeks.
I could have easily lost a fortune on this game but I chose to go in heavy on the draw on day 2 at 1.4ish instead of laying it, as I normally would.
Then yesterday I laid the draw at 1.05 & rode it up to 1.18.
This has been a farce though, to be fair. To the point of down right embarrassing.
They can't afford a super sopper but all the groundsmen are driving around in Rolls Royces.
The ICC must take the blame too.
Each series has different tech, different rules, DRS in some and not in others. Surely they can provide each Test match venue with adequate covers and a super sopper or two?

How would you have made that profit jucel if they were having adequate covers and a super sopper or two?

I would have bet differently!

8.50am Morning, everyone. Another bright and sunny morning in Port-of-Spain, but the Queen's Park Oval outfield is still wet. A first inspection is scheduled at 9.50am.
Wetter than an otter's pocket. What a schocker

This is a joke and hope BF void all bets due to vandalism on the pitch as the weather has not been a issue?? On the other hand what comes around goes around as my 1.5 red on this match is far outweighed by the nice green on the other test that is going through exactly the same conditions.
At least it makes time for some drinking.

I've been absolutely taken to the cleaners on this game. I wouldn't mind so much but I'm taking an almost equally huge shafting on SA NZ, albeit that there's still some residual hope of a result in that one. Don't think I completely screwed this up either, just a genuinely tough one to call that there would be enough rain on day 1 to kill the entire rest of the test. I really shouldn't be taking on reds as high as £5.5k, perhaps but I've been trying to swing hard with a bit of thought to premium charge and generally you're rewarded for taking on a big draw red early in a game on a wicket that's anything other than flat. Should have taken some draw at 1.4 or so day 1 or 2 perhaps but having seen WI bat and that the forecast wasn't too bad, I did rather think that even 250 more overs of play would be quite likely to see a result, let alone 300 plus.
Not even any real prospect of a contrived finish, is there?

is there any possibility of the game abandoned and bets void? Or it can only end as a 'draw' now?
7.2Test matches
If a match starts but is later abandoned for any reason other than weather (which may include but is not limited to: dangerous or unplayable wicket or outfield; pitch vandalism; strike or boycott; crowd protests/violence; stadium damage; acts of terrorism; and acts of God), Betfair reserves the right to void all bets, except for those on markets that have been unconditionally determined.
If the match is not scheduled to be completed within five days after the original scheduled completion date, then all bets on markets for this event will be void, except for bets on any markets that have been unconditionally determined.

F*ck me Fats, this has not been a good weekend for you you mate and feeling for you. Very unlucky in this day and age to be caught out by 1 bad outfield but 2 at the same time is unreal. I've done my nuts on this one but luckily I had 2 green on Saffers and woke up just in time this morning to transfer it on to the draw at around Evs. With a bit of luck they abandon this match due to dangerous outfield (that's i'm reading the rules right?) and can get some money back.??
Since 2004, the International Cricket Council for International matches has decreed that a match where the toss takes place but which is abandoned without a ball being bowled is either a draw or (for a limited-overs match) a no result.
No way we're getting bets void on this one. Iys a draw.

If it was on any other exchange and the market makers layed the draw all bets would be void for sure.
This reminds me of my starting days. I backed SA against Bangladesh, it was last year I think. At 1.3 I thought they were free money and lumped on them. The last day got mostly washed out. I sarted looking at the test match rules and even tried the convince the betfair chat that the bets should be void when it really was a few hours of rain :D
Whizz - at least you've given us all a legitimate-sounding job-title there. "Market-maker" sounds so much more respectable than "professional gambler" (especially to a potential gf when she imagines introducing you to her parents).
I think both of those tests ended in a draw due to both being washed out. Another crazy decision to play in Bangla (wettest country in the World) in the middle of the monsoon season. Not sure where these people come from that make these decisions.
I know in that first Ban v S.A test last year I managed to get 500 on a few days before at 13/8 when it was only 2.2 to lay on BF. I never thought rain could be so interesting.

VV, Trying to explain to someone that you trade cricket prices is like???
Don't even F*cking go there.
Just tell them you trade Gold/Oil and they get it straight away.
I had to use tins of beans as an example to my parents.
I buy for 57p and sell for 61p I make a profit but if they go out of date and have to sell for 10p I make a loss.
Always a good one to use.

Done my dough on both games (wiped out c.35% of my 2016 bank) but don't think the bets should be voided. However heads need to roll here as far as the decision makers are concerned, because to lose what will probably amount to 5 or 6 days cricket after one big thundery shower and one spell of heavy rain is absolutely mental in this days and age. We all know nothing can prevent weather occurring, but there are plenty of things that can and must be done to mitigate the impacts of it....and there weren't. Therefore someone has to be held accountable, starting with the div that suggested a winter test in Durban was a good idea when most venues on the high veld are guaranteed dry at this time of year, then the clown who thought full ground covers were not needed on a tropical island known for the intensity of it's late summer downpours....they can then get to the rest after those two twats have been made to face the music!
I don't like the bit where they Betfair has the right to void all bets! kin ridiculous! Too many bookies have links to the House of Commons!
No bookie should have the right to ban you until you have at least won twice as much money that you have previously lost or staked with them! Why can they only take money from losers? Do they limit their bets to £1.24? wrong wrong wrong!

@ Whizz - The trouble with saying you trade gold/oil etc is that nobody knows any pro-gamblers (though they might possibly claim to know an ordinary Joe who got lucky with a few quid on Leicester at 5000-1 and bought a house) but people always seem to know someone who works in finance who makes millions and makes you look like a small-fry tw@t with your Wetherspoon's mates and Lidl shopping bill. They never seem to appreciate the heroic difference between a job where someone creams off a percentage of managed wealthy clients' money compared to actually risking your own meagre cash and living or dying by the sword on a daily basis. They just think you're a smart@rse who thinks he's above doing 'real' work but wonder why you're not driving a flash car and splashing out on coke and ****s (as opposed to splashing out all over your keyboard at free web-cam girls at 3am).
I didn't understand what u r trying to say WD? Actually beeting is illegal in india and we bet with local bookies who are far far more reliable than betfair....It doesn't matters to them that you keep winning all the time
The most important point is we don't pay on net winning on any market but we get 1% Commission on each and every bet(YES EACH BET IN SINGLE MARKET) we loss
Like if i backed draw in this match at 1.5 with 100k and then i laid draw at same price with same amount....My profit/loss would be zero but still i'll get 1% commission on the i lost
A draw is agreed with play abandoned on the final day of the final #WIvInd Test. India win the series 2-0
@ Chandigarh - you said on the SA vs NZ thread that you got 10k on the draw at 1.92 the other day - at the time you posted the draw on here was priced at about 2.4 (I think) and had never yet been below 2.2, which suggests the Indian bookies don't mind you winning cos the law stops you (the ordinary punter) from getting a fair market price but gives them the opportunity to somehow channel the funds through the exchanges at higher odds for a guaranteed profit. If you're still able to profit from gambling with that kind of edge against you then I take my hat off to you.
Forget it...There is no difference between the prices of indian bookies and betfair...
We get a continuous phone line during match for making bets and a employee of bookie keeps telling the live prices regularly(like 2-3 times at every ball)
we just need to unmute the button of phone and place our bet with our name and the employee gives us confirmation and if a ball is going to be bowled and bowler is running,He asks us to wait for the bowl and then again asks us what would i like to do...
Well your post came straight after someone else posted getting 2.8 earlier that day and the graph shows the draw not going below evens until early morning yesterday, so unless you have BF prices up on a screen in front of you I'd take that phoneline's claim of "same as BF" prices with a pinch of salt.
Unless your odds are quoted without including your stake back, of course.
Ah - I did wonder at the time, but nobody questioned it.
I've a made a killing on the runs market. Sometimes different rules can benefit you!

Check my bets on our bookies own betting portal and the time too
After the shreesanth spot fixing issue in india Indian bookies had made there own betting sites and softwares powered by betfair which are as fast as betfair
You said you mis-typed the odds, so fair enough. Glad you cleared up my confusion.
Shreesanth - now there's a sad loss to cricket.
