im heavily into the draw now, stupidily trusting the forecast maybe
|

Hmm, now looks to me that there’s a sharp shower initially and some lighter and more intermittent stuff behind it but that it could all be enough to keep them off for most of the day by the time a wet outfield is accounted for. I’ve got back down to just £5.4k draw red though.

I’m abandoning most of my venture and very pleased to see a lump of cash at 4.1.

the radar doesn't stretch that far on the western side. You can't see what's coming on that side due to the invisible borders on the radar.
Does that make sense? |
|
By:
yes it does, i am so pleased i trusted the forecast, they actually say on then website that the text forecast is the most accurate and that hasnt changed all day.

While computer generated forecasts are useful, the model that produced the 2-hourly graph today is just one of a number of resources used by our meteorologists and can differ from their analysis, presented in the text forecast at the top of the page. In the event that these differ, please use the text forecasts produced by MetService meteorologists.

You can beat the text forecast through reading the radar well but as I haven’t, I’ll not push the argument too far. It’s very difficult to do more than an hour out, is the problem. I was trying to be too clever.

that true Fats but they updated the forecast and it didnt change despite the radar, they have more tools than us.

Well done on jucel. I’m trying to get flat at 4s now. Will leave me a nice green on England still.

What sort of screen are you using? I've got a large 4k monitor and it looks to be hitting flush
|
|
By:
An ipad. Plus I’ve already been totally wrong about it. I’ve got it hitting pretty hard too now. I’ve gone draw green with prices as far down as 3.85 and may accept lower.

My favourite re weather is when the players don't even leave the hotel

By:
theres some little bits of red in that blue
|
|
By:
that band of blue really swelled quickly

I’ve got back up again now. Will suffer tomorrow but no useful football to bet on and probably won’t do too much more in SA Aus test.

Something else to bear in mind - the radar only shows actual rainfall that is already taking place, not what's about to form if there are suitable conditions, hence the "suddenly appearing out of nowhere" that seems to catch a lot of people out. At least the forecast tries to predict that this will happen.

cricbuzz bending over their viewers
 3.00 local time: Oh that rain. It started off as a spoilsport, went on to spice up the proceedings, perhaps even made some of the English homesick and then went on to ruin the outfield. But then, thank the 58-collapse, it's made sure that there's enough time in the game to cover up for an innings that never practically happened. But here's the news for today - it's bright, it's sunny and there's no sign of that dreaded pitch cover around. |

cant wait for their next update |

By:
cricinfo too, NO update, always in denial scared to death of losing viewers

listen to comms/cricket sites = poor house. Fatty Smith is the worst, it could be pissing down behind him and he would be talking about a full days play

Overton injured playing football!
|

By:
i know, its total denial like they are being told - dont mention the rain FFS!!
|
|
By:
Do you think they’re using earlier footage to minimise the risk of rain?
|
|
By:
sky always show pictures of the ground in the background with pleasant weather, it has confused me many times in the past

The Athers thing on swing could have been filmed earlier.

By:
I'm listening on the radio and it's very dark apparently

By:
If they walk out in glorious sunshine in a minute then the bloke in charge of the radar will be instantly sacked
