Some drizzle here in Hampshire. I’m 30 miles from Southampton and it’s very grey.

Absolutely delighted to have some test cricket back and really looking forward to today’s play. Thinking 6.80 might be a touch steep but will reassess once it drops under 6.0 which hopefully won’t take to long. Slow and steady trading as I try and get my head back around everything after such a long delay.

The rain is going to do draw layers a power of good at Southampton - especially if it wipes out most of the first day at the Ageas Bowl.
I'll be astonished if this match ends in a draw and am very happy to drip lay from the current 5.4 downwards. The further it goes down the better I reckon.
Both batting units are notoriously brittle at the best of times and that can only be magnified by four months of inacitivity. Okay, the bowling might be a little wild and woolly to begin with, but once in their rhythm both these sides have fast bowling match winners.
Don't forget, the hours of daylight are almost limitless in the UK in July, so even if today's play is completely rained off - and there's a good chance it won't be - most of that will be made up with extra time on the remaining days.
already bounced out to 6.8! well done
-
Can’t wait! Should be cracking bowling conditions. Fingers crossed Eng bat first.

@martin-futter bang ! time to saddle up

HOWWWWWWW GOOOOOOOOOD FINALLY SOME CRICKET !!!! Good to be back
-
@dan-erridge Coming down nicely into the 5’s.
-
@dan-erridge I’ve backed the Draw in the 6’s and watching the market and weather over the next 24-36hrs. My initial plan is to exit at around 4, but keeping a flexible strategy.
-
Hi guys, so are we backing the draw at 6/1 and greening before match starts?

Really surprised the Draw has stuck in the 6’s with so much rain around on Day 1 & 2. I know it’s v unlikely to finish that way, but great trading opportunity here. I can easily see it dropping down to 4 and even lower before the first ball has been bowled.
Agree on that, would want it lower to lay myself

Weather a little unsettled in the first two days, draw has had some jitters and dropped. I can't be sure it stays at these odds but some serious bowling attacks on display so we'll get a result either way. Overs will be made up on Days 3/4/5 too.

Hey guys I am completely new to this, but I am excited that cricket is starting back on Wednesday with the West Indies vs England test match .
I know there are some cricket strategies here, but I was wondering if there are live trading video examples , and also any stats software with filters for cricket or is that only for football ?
ThanksWahoo! Cricket is back, @Richard-Futter @Luke-Ridger are amazing on cricket so watch out for anything they post. I'm going to be filming some strategies etc once it is back, we don't have any stats software per se but the espncricinfo.com will cover a lot of the past data. History of scoring at grounds I find particularly useful to look at before a match.

@luke-ridger cheers for the insight. can't wait to have it back!

Looking ahead to Test match cricket,
Draw looks ripe for a pre match trade, weather dependant i have priced this up north of 10+ , lack of cricket will hamper the batsman more than the bowlers, like an early season county game, expecting a flat deck but that doesn't mean the draw will start super short. Little liquidity in the market at the moment but laying bits and pieces in anticipation of the market firming up.
