Pakistan look a decent price at 1.3, as there seems little chance of rain saving the Windies

[Willmakeitoneday]

Just checked the forecast for the cricket and it's given rain from 10am . Could the draw be back on??

[megarain]

Happy to back Pak at 1.34

[megarain]

Result ..

Windies all out with lead 31

Pak do their best to chuck it .. crawl over line .. 31/3

[SportBilly]

Have had a small lay on the draw at 2.94 WI v PAK. Hoping for a wicket or two in the last session.

[megarain]

Windies now 147-4 Net .. 20 overs left on day 4

WI 6

Pak 4.4

Draw 1.63

Laying draw at this level

[SportBilly]

2 quick wickets. Stick or green.....?

[megarain]

10 ins later .. 2 wkts and draw 4.0 .. volatile stuff

[SportBilly]

Greened up. Well timed megarain.

[megarain]

Last day, a few hrs away.

WI 180-9 net.

WI 3.95

Pak 1.43

Draw 19.5

Any plans ?

[SportBilly]

No strong opinions on this one at the moment. The pitch didn't deteriorate as much as I thought yesterday so I would expect Pakistan to get the runs. If WI get a wicket or two and stem the runs I could be tempted to have a quickfire L2B on PAK or B2L on the draw.

I'll be re-assessing again later just before the off.

[RentonT]

Going to be interesting now...

[megarain]

There are some changes by the ECB to cricket courtsiding this year.

They are fluid .. and its too early to see how these will play out, but, I would definately recommend, NOT going to a ground with a laptop.

[Westerner]

Have never tried the laptop thing, as well aware others had far better tech.

But what do you mean by fluid - less strict?

Interested to know as this could have an impact the markets.

Thanks

[megarain]

Def more strict.

Think liquidity on UK games will be down this yr .. ALL betting at ICC games are strictly (and enforceably forbidden).

Data callers will have a v hard time, affecting liquidity.

We shall see etc.
