@richard-futter are we laying 1.8
I'm not at the moment Nathan, but only because I'm trying the work out what the heck is going on. Price now down to 1.68; if it gets anywhere near 1.5 I won't be able to resist. But I certainly wouldn't deter anyone who does want to trade at this level.
As far as I can see it probably will rain later today, and there could be a fair amount tomorrow, but the final three days look pretty clear and at this time of the year there is plenty of daylight to make up time later.

Draw price in to 1.82, which seems astonishing as there's no sign of any rain yet. Punters seem to be convinced it's going to rain for a couple of days, considering Centurion is a good draining ground these days. I keep thinking the draw price must turn, but not so far.

@richard-futter This is madness
-
Well, that's worked out quite nicely
-
Pissing in SA
Trading blind and blind
No idea conditions exactlyGreat start 2.8-4 IND
I’ll follow advice of others to lay DRAW today if do
-
India batting first; quite like the look of SA at 3.8 early on. They have a good attack on home soil and the Indian batting could be a little light in the conditions. But the percentage call is probably a lay of India around 2.7, as that means the weather is on our side too. Should be an interesting first session.
-
Time to move on to South Africa v India I reckon. Should be a far more competitive affair, weather allowing.
-
Backed Australia yesterday at 1.65 as the last time I checked they were around 1.4 pre match.
Did all the research into selection, weather etc and couldn't work out why they had drifted so much.
Have now laid at 1.12.Ideally want Aus to bat forever so the draw comes back in to lay off the green sat there.
As i type Aus lose a wicket.
-
When do we think England will be batting again? Around lunch time on day three looks about right!
-
Good first session of cricket, pitch doesn't look bad and I was favouring the draw as a back to lay. Now unsure whether Englands under performing batting line-up can bat 120+ overs to give th edraw a chance. Perhaps if Stokes looks okay its worth staying with the draw in hopes of the improving batting of butler + bairstow.
Lay to Back England this morning has been good, pitch looked too good to me to suggest Australia wouldn't bat long on it . -

Openers lasted just over half an hour.... about par for England these days. Root and Malan again left to pick up the pieces.

Having said that, I have had a small lay of England at 5, just in case Crawley - with an average of 11 this year - makes an early exit. Would hardly be a surprise.
Yep, me too at 5.1 , all indications that its gonna be a juicy morning, cant see Crawley surviving long.
What sort of odds would you expect if there is an early wicket?Answer is about 6 - not a big diff tbh. Might wait for Crawley to get out and then green up
So predictable,greened up and off to bed.
