@richard-futter agree we need some evidence of strong batting performances to have confidence, esp in England!

It promises to be an exciting start to the Ashes series at Edgbaston today, with everyone expecting a positive result. That's reflected in the unusually high draw price of around 8. No value in that to start with, but if it dips significantly at any stage during the match, I will certainly be laying.
To start with, though, I'll be looking to lay the side that bats first. In the long run batting first will be an advantage, but both Australia and especially England look vulnerable to the moving ball.
Before lunch on the first day, batting will be difficult and I'm confident there'll be an early wicket or two (or perhaps three or four in England's case). Will reassess the position at lunch-time.

@liam-fox if you mean that side of the market then yes it's easier to trade the shorter price in terms of getting matched. scalping is a good place to start, low risk and you can really learn how markets behave, for example a boundary can make a team's price come in a few ticks in T20 but there is often a 1-2 tick bounce-back before the next ball is bowled.
One strategy @Richard-Futter likes is to back a team who are decent odds when their batsmen get a half decent partnership going and get in, usually 20 run partnership. Often we have seen the market start to move quickly in that teams favour after that, of course a wicket would mean price would drift somewhat but it works more often than not.
We make a lot of money laying prices that are too short in test cricket, so the draw is often a good one to lay as they are extremely rare and often it can hit 3.0 or less very early on in a test.
The other angle we love is when a team is chasing a big total in the 4th innings of a test but a much shorter price than they should be. So for example a team chasing 400+ has only ever won 3 times in the history of the sport, we are talking thousands of tests, yet you would be surprised how often a team will trade below 10.0 and sometime close to evens in this situation if they make a good start.
