Considering how bad the drainage is at this ground, have the feeling this game is over already!

Certainly possible although it was a surprise they got play as soon as they did today so hard to say for sure.

Happy days FS, you need to keep winning on here to pay for it all.

Forecast for tomorrow has improved. But the outfield will limit play.

Pak a huge lay IMO.

Think play has been called off for the day, announcement soon

Yeah, that 2.4 looks rather good now. I did actually think about getting some draw earlier but had got so red on WI, difficult to do so.

Today is gone but if there's a prolonged dry period we could see a fair bit of cricket tomorrow, I suppose.

tomtimtum When: 22 Apr 17 21:45

Wait till they show the pics on TV, draw will be 1.3

Yep, think I'm losing £750 on this. I'm so red on WI and draw now so short I can't really back it and not much joy in laying Pakistan either really, at 4s. Should have done as pxb suggested and got the lay in a few minutes ago.

When I was backing Draw at 2.56 less than an hour ago, it was to win a few ticks, I'm a Lucky Sod

forcast has improved for days 3/4/5

While forecasts can be wrong and are usually rather to vague for our purposes, I've made a lot of money over the years betting on the forecast.

That happens. Certainly worth bearing in mind with attempts to trade that they can not only sometimes fly apart but also occasionally result in similarly huge wins. Does require you keeping an eye on things rather than just leaving the trade back up though. In fact, that's cost me this test, as I had bets up laying the draw - okay I moved the big one down but still not great work.

lost one days play and draw 1.42

Plus a side almost bowled out in that time but then WI lasting more than 90 overs is a surprise, isn't it? The outfield is a huge concern too.

By:

weather forecasts predict the rain will still be thereabouts on Sunday (we should get at least half a days play), Monday and Tuesday should be fine

LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST

SIGNIFICANT FEATURE……… Trough across the western Caribbean and Jamaica.

Comment…… The Trough is expected to meander in the vicinity
of the island for the next three days. As the unstable conditions persists most parishes will therefore continue to experience periods of showers and isolated thunderstorms until Monday.

--------

I like that word 'meander'.

I actually take back my comment, this is a pretty reliable source for weather updates: https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/jamaica/kingston/hourly

By:

East_Coast_Eagle When: 22 Apr 17 22:39

if play starts at 9.30am tomorrow, we should at least 4/5ths of a days play

By:

pxb When: 22 Apr 17 23:00

On the forecast, best case is we get 4 hours play, but a wet outfield will likely mean less.

By:

East_Coast_Eagle When: 22 Apr 17 23:03

do they have the super soppers ?

By:

East_Coast_Eagle When: 22 Apr 17 23:29

Anyway just my personal opinion, if Pakistan bat the whole day tomorrow with the loss of 3-4 wickets and they are parity. I can see Draw shortening a bit more than their current price of 1.43-1.44

By:

East_Coast_Eagle When: 22 Apr 17 23:29

I don't think Pakistan will be willing to risk losing their wickets in the 1st innings........they will look to build a lead of some sort heading into Day 4

By:

East_Coast_Eagle When: 22 Apr 17 23:32

As I speak the draw is now into 1.41.

Big Liquidity on this market (14 AUD million, around 8.5 million GBP)

By:

pxb When: 22 Apr 17 23:44

WI are big considering they could win in fewer overs than Pak. And Pak batting last as well.

By:

DAN1974 When: 22 Apr 17 23:50

theres a decent argument that WI have more chance of winning now.

By:

fatboy When: 23 Apr 17 00:11

WI have batted 93 overs so far problem was they were 5 down for 27 overs! If they were repeat the 1st section of their innings then the only way this is a draw is if we lose a lot more time.

Some biblical weather in Jamaica!

pxb When: 23 Apr 17 06:57

Today looks like it could be OK weather. Satellite clear. Although still appears to be showers coming in from the south.

By:

fatboy When: 23 Apr 17 06:58

Question is did they pitch covers hold up!

By:

Foinavon When: 23 Apr 17 10:42

Draw came in a bit overnight which was good for my position. Have now cashed out until we see what's the situation with the outfield. All three results are still possible but I've no idea how to weight it yet.

By:

Injera When: 23 Apr 17 13:41

Much as the rain has helped bring the draw in, Holder and Bishoo were the key.

At 200-7 they could have been 220 all out and Pak 30-3

By:

pxb When: 23 Apr 17 14:01

Draw at 1.28 indicates we won't get much play today.

By:

East_Coast_Eagle When: 23 Apr 17 14:04

Preciptation is a chance late in the afternoon. Morning should be fine

By:

East_Coast_Eagle When: 23 Apr 17 14:08

draw up a bit now to 1.32

By:

DAN1974 When: 23 Apr 17 14:19

its the outfield that's the problem I think, not the rain forecast
