Just been reading that the last game at MCG was a juicy pitch, and Boland took 8 wickets, including hitting several batters in the helmet.
Might be a good time to back ENG if they win toss , and then early wickets. -
A green pitch and an overcast sky, so there's talk of perhaps bowling first in Melbourne. I'd still be surprised if that happens - but I'm often surprised at this team's decisions these days!

England game start delayed by rain.

@richard-futter Can't wait...3 on the draw at Centurion sounds pretty good value already
And let's not forget the other blockbuster Boxing day test when NZ take on Bangladesh
Odds aren't out yet but only one result likely here...Lumped on at 2.98 , lets see where that goes over next 3 days, can only be 1 way. Just 1 draw in last 17 Tests there.
Williamson not in NZ squad, not that that should make much difference - long term weather forecast for Auckland is reasonable, game starts on 31stNow slipped to 2.88 - whats going on ! ?
(i know it will rebound)Ah, just found out why. Forecasts of thunderstorms in Joburg area for Sunday and Monday with high probability of rain. Knowing Joburg and South Africa quite well after having lived there for a few years, i would expect it to be the afternoon thunderstorms that will likely halt play for a couple of hours and then back on it - but something to be aware of in this market.
Now down to 2.58 !!!

Merry Christmas guys. Hope Santa brings you all a boxing day greenbook.

Lets make this very active over the holiday period - its the only way i will be able to survive Xmas (although i am going to Spain on 27th for a couple of weeks !
)Thank you all.

nice little profit on the USA v Ire game too ! Got a bit worried when USA smacked 13 off the first 3 balls of the 17th over, but then Campher took three wickets off next 4 balls (think there was a wide in the middle)
-
@stuart-wallace I tend to ignore it to be honest. While it generally brings more runs it tends to bring wickets too.

@stuart-wallace I guess it depends on your trading style for T20 cricket and how the match is going.
I personally have a bit of a love hate relationship with the BBL and think the power surge and the boost are a bit naff and gimmicky.
I’d probably only look at it in 2 particular ways.
1 is the team batting first going to or heading to an above par score. If yes and the team takes it around 16 overs and are in a good position I’d be more than likely to enter. If their struggling and already 5-6 down I doubt I would bother. Same with the chasing side. Is the surge going to put them in a stronger position to win the match cause they’ve batted smart in the chase? Then probably yes I would get on them. Are they already kinda screwed and the surge could play more in favour of the side defending the target? Then I doubt I would bother.
More than likely just play it by ear match by match. -
Happy days laid Jaffna at 1.22 after their innings and have now greened up with Jaffna at 2.54
3.3 overs into the power play. Might get involved again later will wait and see.Should add I had a dreaded double click in the BBL today was able to drag back some of the damage but this makes up for that and more.
-
how do you guys trade the Power Surge?
Lump on the batting side? then exit after the two overs? -

Strikers have a strong bowling unit with Rashid and Fawar, but batting is a bit weak.
