18k green on the draw, 5k red on the pakis and 2k red on WI.
Well worth the time and effort imo |

Might get rid of my red if it goes down to 1.5.

By:
Forecast is poor for tomorrow and the outfield is sodden

Yeh really chuffed, back to back monsters! Had a decent green yesterday and then chucked a load on at 4.5 at tea.
Those two quick wickets shook me a bit but I clenched and today has been perfect |

Cleared all my red now.

By:
I've had a decent sized lay of WI at an arse clenching 18.5, as just can't see how they win this without both a fair amount of play in the rest of the game and near miracles on the pitch. They'd need to bowl Pak out for very few twice and could easily do in their chances of managing that by batting too long second innings even if otherwise they'd manage it.

Leaves me:
WI red £4.5k (looking for more as they've come in for some reason) Pak green £2.5k Draw red £1.1k |

That came from nowhere didn't expect any play today. The umps are normally really fussy about outfield and bowler's run ups.
Wonder how that wet patch will play outside off stump? |
|
By:
A quick series of WI wickets followed by some very solid Pakistan batting would suit me when play resumes. What a nob of a 10 minutes of betting though. Perils of not having the time to take a proper look at what's going on.
I've just checked WinViz - that didn't cheer me up at all: has WI over 50%! Clearly rubbish as won't even account for the loss of time that's already programmed in (and may not even count the play already lost today) but having WI favoured over Pak is a nasty shock, albeit one I'm pretty sure is also total rubbish. |

By:
Yep, WinViz doesn't seem to have updated even for the loss of the last few overs yesterday evening. Worth noting that.
No jucel, totally agree with you about WI, although occasionally even dog attacks have their day. It's far more unusual for them to have the two days a side needs to win a test match though. |
|
By:
Did you manage to go huge green all over or just took out your red, by the way?
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
I've pumped up the green on Pakistan and the draw at the expense of a fairly large red on WI. Sods law says WI now bat to 350. God, I hope not!

The cracks have opened up on the pitch, but it is still pretty good for batting. Jeff Dujon reckons this would still be the best time to bat on. Only problem would be the new ball that would swing around.

|
By:
i'm screwed, didnt lay off and went out for an hour, just got back
 |
|
By:
a lot of rain still forecast for tomorrow though so i might get out of it.
|
|
By:
You didn't lay them at 18.5 and 14.5!
No, I was just backing the highs of draw and Pakistan during the swings before the start Lots of small bets. |
|
By:
Just calculated that it's equivalent to a lay of WI at 3.4 so that's my break even point if I make no more bets.
|
|
By:
We could get there pretty soon if Pak bowling carries on like this
 |
|
By:
bad light will come into play at some point, do they have to go off as soon as the reading is the same as it was when they went off yesterday?
|
|
By:
Yes, that's the rule for the rest of the match
|
|
By:
I'm just adding bits of draw as the forecast for tomorrow looks awful.
|
|
By:
Hmm, looks like that little blip up has finished. Jucel probably had most of that
