The Aus and the NZ websites are great and the radars pretty accurate
The only one that surpasses them is the UK pay per month radar that gives you future rain radar predictions and the ability to really zoom into a specific location.

I just checked accuweather and all i see is clouds/rain that too purple color(high). In fact i cant even see where tasmania is.

On the bom site only stray bands of clouds. What am i doing wrong?

Ferguson has been around a long time but I've never been overly impressed by his batting when I've watched him live
Mennie is a line and length bowler, tall but not a great deal of pace.

From all accounts, it is a lively 22 yards at the Bellerive with quite a bit of green. That, combined with the overcast skies it promises to be a cracking first hour should the rain hold.

How can draw be 1.81 when they're playing? I assumed draw was so low because the first couple of days were going to be washed out

Day 2 looks very dodgy for any play at all and we're expecting some time at least lost today too.

I'm going to wait for the toss before making any more movesIt is tough. Sometimes some really predictable things happen and the market changes dramatically and you think, why on earth wasn't that obvious to everyone and other times things happen that aren't that obvious or at least ought to move things and the market stays unperturbed. If the market were always right though, it would be a lot harder to make money out of it.

That's true, the market neeeds to be wrong sometimes to make money. It's just frustrating when you can see that's it wrong yet still can't make money out of it as it doesn't correct itself

I understand that FS but from what I read before, it seemed the consensus was no play before day 3!

It's a tough one to call because a sharp shower and poor drying conditions and we could lose a fair chunk of today and all of tomorrow. Needs a close eye kept on it. I'm not going to be awake all night to do that so am hoping to be able to close out a good position and go to bed.

Can't imagine 14 degrees! Lowest it gets to here is about 20 and that feels fresh

The fact that we could lose all of today and tomorrow was surely factored into the price? Now we have some play and people still want to back the draw!

There goes my draw lay at 1.78 to go a bit green on SA. I'm still large red on Aus but not scared about that right now. They can't really shorten much today, unless they do well out of all keeping with he expected conditions and amount of play.

With tomorrow's forecast you have that buffer if it goes tits up.
I'm looking for the double, wickets today and then a massive draw back when I see the rain coming!

As discussed above, it's hard to know just how much is factored in.
