@martin-futter How's the liquidity in that T20 series?

Richard Futter

Really liking the lay of the draw at around 2.5 in the Women's Test Match starting at Taunton today.

England have to win to have any chance of regaining the Ashes, while Australia simply are not the sort of side to settle for a stalemate - and are, in my opinion, the vastly superior side at the current time.

The draw is so short because of the weather forecast, but it looks as though we'll have a pretty clear day at Taunton today and I will be surprised if it doesn't drift from its current position during the course of the day.

Rain is likely tomorrow and Saturday, but who knows with the British weather? It will certainly be prudent to keep an eye on the radar during the course of this match as I reckon we'll get some very good swings on the draw price.

While the amount of money matched won't be anywhere near as high as in a men's Test Match, it is being shown live on Sky and covered in full on Radio Five Live Extra, so it should still be easily tradeable.

In the opening T20 Blast matches I quite like the chances of all three outsiders - Glamorgan (2.5), Essex (2.32) and Worcestershire (2.3). At this stage of the season, they're all pretty much 50-50 chances I reckon, so there could be a bit of value in all three.

However, I have to admit it will all be a bit of a lottery to begin with as it's very difficult to judge T20 chances by form in the County Championship.

T20's start back tonight! Should be good for scalping at the very least!

@martin-futter the LTD price is currently at 2.5.. where are they playing?

Gappy market at the moment but keep an eye on the draw price in the Women's Ashes test this week, there is some rain forecast but first day looks clear. Given our batting it may not take many days to get a result!

FML - the latest betfair c**k up! I saw someone on twitter complaining there was no draw on the match odds market for the woman’s ashes. Betfair response was to point them towards the separate tied match market

@dave-jessop yeah I much prefer trading test matches. Can’t wait for the Ashes for the cricket and the trading opportunities too.

@john-folan always take tie insurance when it gets close!

I will remember that for the next time I decide to get smashed and not trade the cricket . Honestly the level of analysis in this thread is world class.
