I layed Aus first thing this morning, just come back from a day out with no signal and astonished Aus are 135-0. However, I'm not losing faith on this. I remember Glenn McGrath saying the older ball has swung more, if not then we'll have the new ball soon enough, also a day 5 pitch and still 249 to get. If Aus get this then well done to them and happy to lose this trade. However, if a cluster of wickets and green appears then I'll be removing some liability then monitoring as it could be a close one.

@Martin said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:
@Nathan-Bennett don't think draw is getting enough respect here going to need around 2 1/2 sessions unless they don't lose any wickets. Any rain tomorrow could kill that easily.
That said I'm not adding any more liability to my big red on the cashout button here, already thinking if it's a loss and Aus do go on to win, oh well move on just would love some rain. Forecast seems 50/50 from what I can see.
draw came in a lot since I posted, should have just risked it!
-
Gong to rain until 6 o'clock at least, so can't see there being any more play today. Tomorrow looks a bit hit and miss; I think there'll be interruptions, so definitely a day for keeping an eye on the radar.
-
Yep, agree. There is rain around tomorrow too - no need for AUS to go for it. Can only see a draw tbh. Have backed the draw , however, have a red to deal with .
This is one of those matches where you sit down and think, 'why did i get involved in a weather affected match ?' - often its a case of you feel like you have to take a position regardless, but this match has shown why patience is the key. -

Whatâs forecast Monday
Extra overs added
Slow over rates wonât help ha -
Is the forcast suggesting when it rains, thats us done for today?
Worth a draw back in that case?
-
@Richard-Futter @Martin thanks. Iâm obviously getting influenced by the Australian commentary on Sky!
Also, just because these 2 are doing well doesnât mean the whole batting lineup will be scoring 50s
-
Still a lot of runs needed and things can change quickly in Test cricket.
-
I guess the silver lining is if we lose at least we would have lost the Ashes anyway!
@Dan-MacKinnon depends how much you can get back, if you think they will now win and if that's worth it to you at this stage, not much point on mine as loss would be most of stake so will stay in
-
Murder draw lays under 10 perhaps
Bugger wish stayed on that lay just before lunch
-
Not to be pessimistic, but at what stage would you look to get out of this AUS lay?
I get rain is a possible factor but we also need wickets soon
-
@Karl-Pick they will get them if it continues like this
-
Cannot believe the Aussies are favourites they need 300!!!
-
@Richard-Futter itâs chucking it down here on the Hampshire/Surrey borderâŚso itâs on its way!
-
Wicket required fast tho TBH
-
@Stuart-Wallace intrigue
Likely be 98 overs tmr then -
Crazy market, especially considering we're unlikely to have any play after 3pm
-
have exited Draw for time being - expecting rain all afternoon. Have backed LTD.
Scenario: rain all afternoon, so OZ would need 310 in 1 day - are they up for it? Either weather beats them, or they simply bat out the day and take the 2-1 series win without taking chances? or ENG bowl them out .Also chance of a bit of further rain tomorrow - so, laying AUS is likely a big oppo imo.
What do you think?
