Thank you for the pointers as ever!!

Yes I see it now. Poor start...... then Wickets 4/5/6/7 and tail gone in a session. Massive hole. Massive pressure.

Have to work today. Boo!

nice blog, never bet/trade cricket but used to love the sport as a kid growing up early 90's, the days of good old teletext getting the scores and seeing how many runs Viv Richards was knocking up for Glamorgan, loved county cricket and following Derbyshire. Used to take time off school whenever England was on BBC as was that obsessed :lol: Still watch England now and then but can't get back into it at county levels, not really in the loop but did read big shake up coming 20/20

Thx.

Lunch SA 56-1 .. slow but no real dramas from SA.

Eng 2.24

Lots of entry points.

Active morning trading wise, if I had no position, would be laying SA for lumps .

Tea .. SA 160-2

Eng 4.1

SA 2.6

Draw 2.74

Interesting game. Couldn't argue with a lay if either draw or SA, just to trade. Both have to go higher, in next 4 days.

IMHO

Interesting game indeed. I have managed to somehow be very patient this test and laid the draw at tea.

A great couple of wickets after tea and I've traded out for now. If only all trades went this well!

A pretty even test match at the moment, ENG poss ahead.

megarain that is quality. Gutted to miss out getting a feel for the correct pacing/rythmn

Looking further ahead is the next entry price point for the draw lay if it comes is in the 2.2-1.8 range on Sat? That is what I would aim for I think.

Do you run smaller ranges than that and therefore smaller stops?

As ever don't answer if you think you are giving too much away!!

COP .. SA 309-6 .. Par score, might be 300/375/400 depending who u speak to.

Eng 2.7 (Day 1 high, 4.5, low 1.52)

SA 2.9 (Day 1 high, 4.5, low 2.5)

Draw 3.5 (Day 1 high, 8.0, low 2.7)

I frankly havent a scooby, who I like to win .. or even.what to do, in the next session. So, am flat, having taken profits, on some good trades.

The draw is most unlikely to go, 1.8-2.2 on Sat .. It needs a v specific set of circumstances, which, I cant see happening. I imagine the draw is a lay now, but, think u can wait, to get it cheaper.

Thinking about stuff .. I will respond to emails etc, when I get a chance.
