@richard-futter markets are so volatile
-
Looks very dark there. Can't see anything like 60 overs being bowled.
-
@richard-futter yeah 365 had the first test and Betfair dint. Hopefully can get some good trades over the coming days.
-
@josh-shaw Nice one, thanks. The coverage seems to be very hit and miss. Had some days of the first Test but not others.
-
im using betfair feed, it seems a few seconds faster than the one on unibet
-
@richard-futter yes Betfair exchange have it...
-
if it reaches 2.0 ill be ok...just need it to get 1.94 to get back in the green and avoid a big loss.
-
@josh-shaw Have you got pix? Are you in the UK?
-
Draw price back to 1.58... rain around?
-
NZ bowling has been awful, wish I had a nibble on SL...
-
It's amazing how quickly they get up and playing after a deluge in SL. English grounds could learn something from them. Makes backing the draw there a very risky pastime.
-
Bet 365 should be streaming pix, so that should give us a better idea of what's happening. Always difficult when relying solely on cricinfo and cricbuzz.
-
Price coming in again, which I guess means it might be raining again.
-
They're hoping to get in 60 overs - which makes the draw price look very low to me. I managed to get a small lay in at 1.52 but still looks value at around 1.7. Will be surprised if it doesn't reach 2.0.
-
yes just seen Sri Lanka won the toss.
just hoping for early wickets now to push the price out. -
@liam-fox starting in 20min

Well, looks like there's unlikely to be any play today in SL - the forecast was indeed wrong... it's much worse than they said! Holding fire on that one at the moment.
I got in yesterday at 3.0
now just put a load more in at 1.72
so i really hope the play wont be cancelled
-
Just read that the sun is out about an hour away from the ground and that there could be play after lunch. pitch is also reported to be very green
I am going to let the draw continue to firm until play starts lay it then trade out after a couple of early wickets hopefully. -

I'm really liking the lay of the draw at just over 3.0 in the second Test between Sri Lanka and New Zealand at Colombo, starting tomorrow morning.
The best thing to do with SL weather forecasts is to ignore them completely. They're virtually worthless.
And there hasn't been a drawn Test at this ground in 16 years. I fancy another SL win. They're on a three match winning streak and, amazingly, they could end this series ahead of England in the Test rankings.
