i'm stuck a bit for now with a 3.4 england back which finn's likely absence has seen go out to 3.75, will have to take a loss on this and otherwise i have layed the draw at 3.05 - even if  one of the sides bats thru day 1 i'm going to leave this on cos with india 2-1 down they are going to have to contrive to try and get a result at some point - the only weather about is a shower tomorrow so 5 days with a pitch full of cracks, i'm leaving a lay of the draw on whatever

by the way india batting first helps the draw as you will probably get a very generous declaration and a run chase england will go for

Pitch and conditions
"White and dry," was the basic description of the pitch on the eve of the Test. It had not been watered for two days so it will spin, the question is how much and how soon. The weather won't be an issue with daytime temperatures in the low 30s.

3.25

looking forward to the 5 match series in kiwi land, im going to trade them tests ball by ball

night lads best of luck with the cricket I've layed 3.2 on the draw hopefully will trade back higher.

scom - it is nice & peaceful round here today !

some good entertainment tomorrow am , the final session in nagpur followed by monterrey v chelski - the mexicans appear to be q decent & may play for a 1-0 with delgado their danger man - I'm on 1-0 & 0-0 at 17.5

forgot chelsea were playing

a slight change of approach to the cricket fopr me - at least for now - india are 2.64 england 3.05 - england are clearly the better side with better pace bowlers & better spinners - the wicket won't be a pudding according to the locals (below) - so i'm taking england for now and hope to turn the profits into a lay of the draw before the off

topping up on the cricket england at 3.3  , rumours are that india need a turning wicket to ensure a result - whose spinners are best, monty & swann or theirs ? crazy price

SCOM can you explain how england can be 15/8 tops elsewhere but 3.4 here - i agree the indians will do all they can to ensure a result wicket, a draws no good to them , but for me a spinning wicket or pace and bounce either way england have the edge , of course i will get out before the toss - but of the 3 possibilities its got to be an england win for now - if it stays upwards of 3.3 i'm havin a good ole fashion bet

i hope everyone took some 3.4 england today - that was sensational & even with the notorious one-eyed indian bighitters at play , a no-risk trade once the dust settled

Think this is what gets up Hejiks (and a few other peoples) nose. Stuck with an England back at 3.4.....lets just forget about the ones at 3.05, 3.3 and 3.35 eh?

Back in to 3.3 now though, so I'm sure you'll have got out ok.

all the above is true and details the loss i've made and admitted to - your point is ? - can you really find nothing better to do with your time ?

draw now the outsider of 3, market beginning to wise up

bulk on the result i mean

draw now 6 - well done to those who stuck with the draw - my profits on the draw have been gobbled up by the stupid england price yesterday - i'll stick to the draw next time

for saturday norwich look a bit long at 2.3 v wigan but i think wigan's suspensions are back and I recall wigan being backed for this fixture earlier this year when they got a draw

fulham at 3.1 at qpr are worth consideration, 17 without a win for rangers - certainly a leap of faith in harry to take them at 6/4

and villa 10 at anfield - they played well there last season tho i suppose with suarez back this price will hold

this is nothing to do with the spirit of the thread I am reporting you again hejik

What exactly are you reporting Green Army?
You will have reported Biscuits post aswell then presumably?

Green Army, Are you still starting the tipping service?

Thank you for your kind words hejik, they mean a lot to me. Truly heartwarming.

And if my contributions have zero value to you, then why in the very next sentence do you go ans ask me a question. Save yourself the trouble and don't bother.

But i'll leave you with this post, these are genuine words from a grown man on an anonymous internet forum.

I have reported him for it and also have somebody else working on it.


Smithy must have really got to you. Head in hands man for hejik

moved all my red onto india for now..england not showing much intent and will be hard to remove second time up..wait and see how long prior and root last, if india rip through them in the morning i might level it up again
