I’m out. Massively over staked here and had my ass handed to me. Huge loss. Bit of reflection required here. Must be much more disciplined
-
@nathan-bennett yeah same mate I just reduced liability and once they went off the 2nd time just took the red thinking I could lay England potentially and get back to scratch. It’s not ideal but there’s no shortage of test cricket coming up this year. Protect the bank and all that.
-
@matt-wood It's worsening. 1.8 now 1.5/6, you have to cut it and walk away.
-
@matt-wood many ways . I’ve aborted mass left some hanging . Can see me going 0-0-Red tmr and then lay eng (or soon) and let that ride until lose half that trade if were to happen and cop it sweet and move on

Umps called this light on Day 1 too early, sorry all but don't see a finish in this one. Go steady.
Yeah mate happy to take a small hit on this one at the moment. Once they set that precedent for light it’s set and they don’t budge.

9am starts got to be the future . Crazy

is root having a brain fade woakes new ball

Comedy ! Roll through em now
-
Well that’s one way to get an atrocious batsman out I guess.
-
Am I the only one who hasn’t gone in yet? Really cautious as this could be the draw bullet that shoots me down. I’ve got a few ideas about trading later on in the game - will share as/when.
-
@paul-keighley oath ! got to have a number amount your happy to lose . forgot to throw that in
-
Draw heading in the right direction now.
-
@james-woodroffe Yes. The logic is sound. Let’s hope we’ve all got it right
-
@andrew-wooding the thing we also have in our favour mate is that both sides have exceptional fast bowling and Pakistan have a world class leg spinner. Batting will be tough you’d imagine the whole way thru and we still have plenty of time to make up the lost overs.
-
@paul-keighley I think that’s a very pertinent point and I’ll take it on board. I am over exposed and it’s a lesson that’s for sure. Anxiety comes from
Knowing your over invested.
However on your other point, I think it’s natural to look for reassurance from those more experienced and confident than yourself. It’s not about asking others for accurate predictions (shifting responsibility), rather about trying to make your own decisions based on the best knowledge to hand.. even if that’s not yours. -
Without wanting to sound negative on this briliant thread/discussion, with more than one person mentioning concern of their position recently, and asking people to accurately predict the future, it's a good time to point out how mindset is just as important as technical knowledge here.
Put simply, if you are concerned at all for your current position in any match of any sport etc then it is extremely likely that you are overstaking, as simple as that.
-
@nathan-bennett it’s a confidence thing I think mate. Second guessing yourself even though rationally your listening to the right people (yourself, Richard etc) and logically it makes sense.
-
@james-woodroffe it’s the bloody weather that’s bothering me more than anything!! With experience comes confidence in your position I guess
