Laid the draw again just before Elgar fell and greened up for another nice little profit at stumps. I’ll probably leave this test alone now as I dare say work will get in the way. If I hear of anything worthy I’ll post on the tennis thread as I’m here working on the Shanghai Masters. Keep greening up lads.

Would of been nice without the 2 wickets. But with it forecasting rain moderate to heavy on Sunday I wonder if the draw might come in a little.

Wow!, the VPN is working nicely but I’ve slept thru a lovely fight back by SA. Gotta give Elgar credit the bloke has ticker. Certainly didn’t see this coming.

Nice green to finish day 2 and not have to worry if I can’t get on in the land of the long white VPN. In a perfect world I arrive in Shanghai my VPN works, it’s been raining the draw price comes back in and Ashwin just runs thru SA again.

ended up only needing initial lay @3.35 … if market dove real short would look at re lay 2.5 ish and likely lesser stake and look to get that second lay traded out around my initial 3.35 entry . sadly missed the opening day 1 action this is my first entry

Simji

When you say drip lay do you use the same liability? Also do you have anything else on the match. As I'm still in with a lay on India. But only holding as think draw could be a possibility of SA don't massively blow up

@nathan-bennett yep India have just declared so 22 overs at SA today enough time to have them in trouble by stumps.

Nathan Bennett

drip lay draw time SA INDIA me thinks

Simji

Cheers @Richard-Futter I thought that was the case but hadn't really seen that much of a jump before. India are doing well so trade still in. More hoping that it'll go back to 1.5 before closing out I reckon.

@simon-miller It was down to the weather forecast. No one was expecting the rain which stopped play for the day, so the draw price was bound to come in and hence India's drift. With the sun shining again this morning, the batting side's price has come back down.

Simji

I saw India move from 1.25 to 1.36 so laid them (12.60 liability) before tea. Now I see there at 1.55.

Profit look like 4.29.

Do you guys think this price will move. As I've never really noticed a price move as much as this when there's no play.

I laid Pakistan @1.22 this morning after I heard SL were batting first. Pakistan now chasing 298 and have come out to 1.78. I dunno but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this movie before so I’m holding fire as I think SL are in this now big time!

@james-woodroffe haha I know it is amazing all these years and they still haven't figured it out! i think it must be something psychologically to do with a fear the fact that draws do occasionally happen out of the blue!

I’m still fascinated by why punters love to back the draw so much. Despite the crappy weather India couldn’t be anymore in control of this test and will most likely only require two days max to bowl SA out twice. On a side note I’m off to Shanghai in the morning has anyone who has been there ever been able to access Betfair via their VPN, or have they tried and it’s not worked? Cheers.
